About Thing & Fist
Thing & Fist is an isometric couch co-op brawler where two players battle their way through the city of St. Avalon as they work to pull off the heist of the century. St. Avalon is a shady city that is home to gangsterism and sorcery in equal measure, and players will need to work together if they hope to stand a chance against the nefarious baddies that lurk around every corner.
As Thing, players can zap enemies from a distance using powerful bolts of lightning while keeping the hordes of goons guessing by swiftly dashing around, behind, and even through them! For those that prefer a more direct approach to trouncing foes, playing as Fist will allow players to make short work of opponents with powerful punches and a dash attack that bulldozes anything in their way. When the throngs of opponents seem like too much to handle, players can stun crowds of enemies with a powerful slam as Fist or conjure a convenient bribe as Thing to direct their attention elsewhere. Players can also support their partner in crime with their character's unique shield ability to ensure that Thing & Fist will be able to pull through each chaotic brawl they find themselves in on their quest to become filthy rich!
As they make their way through the two unique levels of the game, players will find themselves going up against numerous different enemies including slime cops, gunslingers, walking cauldrons, and shadow hands; each of which has their own methods of attack that players will need to work together to outmaneuver. Starting in downtown St. Avalon, players will make their way through the city streets, break in and out of the bank, and scurry towards the escape raft with the cash!

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
"Thing & Fist" is described as an isometric co-op couch brawler, which tells us the developers don't know what the word "isometric" means. It's a method to render a 3D object in 2D dimensions without perspective (such that all the measurements and dimensions are equal, hence, iso-metric). This is just badly done 3D perspective rendering like most games. I swear, there needs to be a basic test before amateur developers are allowed to dump garbage on Steam. And, Valve does have this kind of test, but there's only one question, and that's "Would you like to pay us $100 through Steam Direct?" What do you do in the game? Very limited, badly done console-esque twin stick brawling, only worse than any console game ever did it. There's a co-op focus, which is pointless, because if you ask any of your friends to play garbage like this, you soon won't have any friends. Developers often desperately hope they can get other players to fill in the gaps when they're not adequately skilled/bothered to make complete games. Anyway you just do console brawling here and it's pretty bad. The game is really simple and unambitious in terms of implementation, more of a tech demo or one of those …2 found this helpful
ONCE AGAIN CAW CAW—[i][b]pghtooey![/b] Why am I... suddenly craving peanuts?[/i] Anyway, uhhh. What was I saying? Oh yeah. I—like 98% of living humans—refuse to degrade myself by using a "controller" for PC games, so instead I used the same freeware emulator that 90% of 98% of you have undoubtedly used before. (It was the one that's been around for close to two decades now). - the very same one that should ALWAYS be packaged with and integrated into "controller only" PC games. — games like this one. ... which did not have such a necessary feature either packaged or integrated with it. I think I've made my point. Final Rating: [b]Xbox / Gamecube[/b] Would Fist lots of Things again. ... with a mouse and keyboard only, OBVIOUSLY. I'm not a [i]savage.[/i]1 found this helpful
