First Art Update: Coming Next Month!
For the past month or so, we have been working on implementing overhauling the in-game art with hand-drawn character sprites. This is an very large change that will take some time to complete, so we will be rolling it out over time, and in phases. We hope to finish rough draft art for the whole cast in the near-term, then go back and polish the graphics up. And you'll still be able to play as Jerma.
As of today, we have a test build which includes overhauled art for Billy, Paul and Lewis. Nick is on track to be implemented by early next month. We'd like to get this build in the hands of players now, so that we can isolate and fix any issues that might come up before rolling these changes out in the the next major update. For this reason, we will be running a public beta branch.
To access the public beta branch:
- Right-click Mega Knockdown in your library and click Properties
- Navigate to the Betas tab. Select the Art Overhaul Beta.
- Launch the game. You are now playing the beta!

The 2D Fighting Game With a Twist: It's Turn-Based!
Mega Knockdown's simultaneous turn-based gameplay system makes it a unique, beginner-friendly fighting game experience that is easy to learn, but hard to master.
Fighting game veterans and newbies alike can jump right in to advanced level mindgames without spending a lot of time learning execution or complex inputs. Learn fighting games, or teach them to your friends!
Gameplay Highlights
- Simple controls with no timing requirement
- Experience classic fighting game archetypes: the fireball-throwing martial artist, the grappler, the long-limbed poke specialist, and more!
- Jockey for position and weave in and out of range of attacks. Are you a true master of fighting game footsies? Prove it!
- Get the upper hand on your opponents with a knockdown, and press the advantage with a 'meaty attack' on their wakeup!
- Enrage and astound your friends with a well placed 'tick throw'!
- Express yourself! Do you carefully block and punish your way to victory, or do you assert dominance with a wild and aggressive gameplan?
How does it work?
Each turn, players choose a combat action and a movement action in secret. Then, both players' actions resolve simultaneously over the course of a few seconds. Predicting the opponent's actions and choosing the right counterplay is the key to victory.The basic actions are attacks, blocks and throws:
- Attacks can beat out other moves through superior range or speed. Some attacks also knock players down, restricting that player's movement and slowing their attacks next turn. This emulates the "wakeup game" seen in most fighting games.
- Blocking prevents damage from attacks, and usually puts the defender at an advantage next turn, or grants a free counter-attack ("punish") against the opponent.
- Throws can break an opponent's guard, but have short range.
The game's six characters also have unique special moves which change how they play the game.
