His flame turns back to shine, after accidentally meeting the Cruz brothers, Felipe and Igor. It's all about the good old revenge!

Why It Sucks

 * 1) Cheap looking graphics even for 2018 standards, as they look like a 7th Generation game, or a game ported from Mobile.
 * 2) * The art is also poorly drawn, and some of the characters end up looking weird at times because of it.
 * 3) * The art styles also mix and clash with each other.
 * 4) The opening logos when you launch the game cannot be skipped by the player.
 * 5) The game was overpriced at launch, costing around $30. After a few years later, it is now currently $5 depending if the game is on sale.
 * 6) The career mode forces the player to play the group of fights, because if you quit the game. The progress of the mode will be lost and will reset once you start the mode again.
 * 7) Poorly written story.
 * 8) Bland looking characters that look the same but with the moveset changed.
 * 9) * Keep in mind this game is based off Marcus Luz, and his character model looks nothing like him.
 * 10) Very poor voice acting, as many of the characters were voiced by one person.
 * 11) * Even the announcer sounds awful, he doesn't even announce the character's name after they win. And instead says "Red Corner/Blue Corner wins"
 * 12) Lack of online multiplayer, which is unacceptable in 2018. Except for the Steam version.
 * 13) Lots of bugs and glitches are common.
 * 14) * The game suffers from framerate issues, even with some of the character's special moves ending up lagging the game to the crawl. Even the cutscenes lag.
 * 15) * If you knock out your opponent they will sometimes stand up just to fall down again, and they can get stuck between walls.
 * 16) * Some of your attacks might not even register properly, and sometimes you can get hit for no apparent reason at all.
 * 17) * Sometimes your character will end up be teleported away from the fighter as you are fighting. In which is worse if you are in a 2v2 match, making the game unplayable.
 * 18) *If you leave the game, and try to customize your characters again. The stuff that you bought in the game will be locked again forcing you to pay for it again using Blood Drips.
 * 19) The sound mixing is terrible at times, sometimes the sounds and music can get so loud that it can end up destroying your speakers or making the sound choppy.
 * 20) Overly easy, as you can just spam special moves to win due to the poor A.I.
 * 21) * Some of the chapters also give you a huge amount of Blood Drips (The main currency in this game) which you can easily use for customization.
 * 22) *Despite adding a blocking feature in the 3.0 Update, the A.I will never block your attacks.
 * 23) *In fact it is even possible to spam the punch over and over again to do a infinite combo, since there is no way to guard at all.
 * 24) Terrible ending, as you end up being disqualified somehow for cheating for having a powder substance in your gloves. Yet the game never tells the player about it.
 * 25) *The game will give the player a achievement named "CHEATER!" despite them not cheating at all.
 * 26) The game's cutscenes have grammar errors such as will being misspelled as "wil".
 * 27) All of the achievement titles look like they were written with the Caps Lock on.
 * 28) Quantity over Quality: The game is only worth playing just for the achievements, as many of the achievements can be collected by selecting a character and then going back to the main menu, some just for doing a combo (which is infinites since the developer didn't bother programming a guard/block), and some just for completing a match in the story. Every update the game has just adds a another 1,000G instead of fixing issues the game has.
 * 29) *In the 2.0 update, there are new 200G achievements. But they are way too easy to get, as if you finish a challenge mode match and have at least did a 20 Hit combo and taken out 500 damage to your opponent. That is around 800G, and then you win a King Of The Hill Match and that's a another 200G. These achievements add to around 1,000G.
 * 30) *A 3.0 Update made on July 16, 2021. Adds 5 more 200G achievements, but this time it was lazily done as 3/5 of the achievement artworks were copied and pasted, 2 of the achievement descriptions are the exact same. And all you need to do is do a 30 hit combo, block at least 30 attacks, evade 20 attacks and that's a another 1,000G for you.
 * 31) *A 4.0 Update made on January 10, 2022 not only broke the game in terms of loading times. All it did was add a another 1,000G once again.
 * 32) Despite the game being in English, some of the characters in the game are based off real life people in Brazil. In fact some of the elements in the game are in Portuguese like the Theme Song of the game, which doesn't have any subtitles.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) It has a super easy platinum trophy for PlayStation Players, and 5000G for the Xbox Players.
 * 2) The soundtrack is decent.
 * 3) The poorly done artwork and poor voice acting can be quite funny at times.

Trivia

 * 1) The game started development in 2015 by DCF Studios.
