Toribash Next is the second installment in a series of unusual turn-based fighting games originating from 2006. Like the first game, it was developed by an indie Singapore team Nabi Studios.

Mechanics

Toribash Next expands upon the mechanics of the first game. We play as arena fighters, competing in brawls, aikido battles, samurai duels, gunfights, trick shows and parkour.

Unlike other fighting games, combat is turn-based, with players having total control over their character's individual muscles and joints, flexing, relaxing, bending and straightening them to determine their exact movements. Players can punch and kick each other, as well as wield various weapons, like swords and guns.
