Tough Love Arena is a web-based indie fighting game with 6 unique, fun, and interesting characters and silky-smooth rollback netcode.

Tough Love Arena is designed for beginners, with simple inputs, straightforward options, and strong defense. However, we made sure to have something for the experienced fighting game player as well! You will find that despite the generous input buffer, there are still difficult combos to master and a very flexible meter system.

You can play Tough Love Arena in your web browser on the official site for free! However, the Steam version has a few advantages:

- All event skins and boss characters unlocked
- Works without an active internet connection
- Loads much faster
- Steam-exclusive skins (coming soon)

We want to make it clear that Tough Love Arena is front and foremost a free game that remains accessible to all. Fans of this game should feel no pressure to buy the Steam version if they do not wish to. However, if you want to support the developers and get a few exclusive extras, please considering buying this game.
