Toribash

Toribash turns martial arts into something resembling a physics experiment conducted by people who have forgotten where their limbs are supposed to go. Instead of directly controlling a fighter, players manipulate individual joints and movements, planning actions that are then simulated by the game's physics engine. Punches, kicks, throws, and spectacular accidents can all emerge from carefully chosen movements, making every fight a mixture of strategy, timing, and controlled chaos. Multiplayer battles add another layer, as human opponents are generally much less predictable than computer-controlled punching bags. The unusual control system takes time to understand, but once mastered it allows for incredibly creative combat sequences. Toribash is therefore less about button-mashing and more about engineering your opponent's defeat one awkward joint at a time.
