Developed by Divider Games
Released for XBLIG (5/2011)
Rushing Punch is what you would call a kusoge game, meaning it's a bad game but holds some value in that it's so awful it's laughable. The graphics are odd in this one, looking like something that might have released as a budget title on the PS1. The characters are made up of strange textures and the environment just kind of ends at an invisible barrier as if the developer forgot to finish the map. The character animation is severely lacking, containing just a few frames for his walking animation. Same for the punch, which is animated so carelessly you can barely even tell when you're doing it. The kick is obviously way more effective than the punch therefore having two attacks is pointless. You also have a special move that drains your health where your character does a spin kick hitting anybody around you. Once you've defeated enough enemies, a group of skeletons come after you (which the game calls "Skeltons").
The trial for Rushing Punch only lets you play the first stage and once you finish it there's a splash screen informing you that there are six levels in total for you to conquer in the full version. I never bought the game, as even for $1 I feel I got about the most I'm going to get out of this game from the trial. The game is definitely a contender for worst beat 'em up ever! I almost forgot to mention your character's name is Haggar, not to be confused with the wrestling mayor who beat down the Mad Gear in Final Fight!
Final Verdict: Rushing Punch is an abysmal beat 'em up, probably one of the worst ever made. If you like "kusoge" or bad games it's worth a play or two but everybody else steer clear!
