There are all manner of fighting games out there, and each one will test the gamers’ abilities and strategies to the limit. However, when it comes to the most brutal of fighting games, you really need to show that you’re “built for this.” Plebian Studio and Bonus Stage Publishing will attempt to do just that via their upcoming fighting title Gladio Mori, which launches on September 16th, but things will be a bit more complicated than you expect, for this isn’t a traditional fighting game. Want to see what we mean? Check out the synopsis and trailer below:

“There are no health bars in Gladio Mori; damage is tracked inside the body, severed arteries and dismemberment bleed you out over the course of a fight. Missing an arm makes fighting pretty hard. A well-placed thrust into the vitals can end it instantly.

Weapons, armour and bodies are governed by physics. Plate armour stops a cut, so winning means finding the gaps rather than simply landing more hits.

Most fighting games give players a fixed list of attacks. Gladio Mori lets players create their own movesets. The move editor gives players direct control of the fighter’s body. They can animate an attack from the ground up, turn it into a usable move, and take it into a real fight. Players can build something efficient, recreate a swing from a film, or make something completely ridiculous and find out the hard way why it does not work.”

That’s right, you’ll be building your fighter from top to bottom! You’ll determine what moves they will and won’t use, and it’s fully on you to determine just how well they do and don’t fight. Adapt, survive, and become the ultimate fighter!

If you’re interested in this complex title, you can wishlist or pre-order it now on Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox.
