About Thing & Fist

✦ AI summary

Thing & Fist is an isometric co-op brawler where you and a partner fight through the magical crime-ridden city of St. Avalon to pull off the ultimate heist, with one player wielding lightning powers and mobility while the other uses brutal melee force and crowd control. The game stands out with its complementary dual-character design, where each fighter has distinct abilities and shield mechanics that reward teamwork as you battle colorful enemies from corrupt cops to sentient cauldrons across uniquely themed levels.

Team up with a friend and play as either the artful wizard Thing or the stalwart golem Fist to pull off the heist of the century in this couch co-op top-down brawler!

✦ AI summary

Thing & Fist is a co-op brawler that draws mixed reactions from players, with some finding it engaging enough for extended play sessions while others quickly lose interest in its limited gameplay mechanics. The game receives criticism for its control scheme lacking proper mouse and keyboard support and for its dated graphics, though fans appreciate its accessibility and straightforward fun factor. Most players seem to view it as a casual title best suited for playing with friends on a budget rather than a must-have purchase.

Wasn’t fun for me. I found it boring pretty quickly, and nothing about the gameplay gave me much reason to keep going.

"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 …

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]
