Fightback
Fightback, développé par Ninja Theory, est un jeu de genre hack 'n' slash et beat 'em up en vue latérale, sorti le 8 juillet 2014 sur les appareils Android et iOS.
Concernant l'accueil critique, la presse a exprimé des avis positifs tout en relevant quelques réserves. Le média 148Apps a ainsi salué l'un des combattants latéraux les plus intenses sur iOS malgré une dépendance aux achats intégrés, écrivant : « Despite an over-reliance on in-app purchases, Fightback is easily one of the coolest and most intense side-scrolling fighters on iOS. » De même, Vandal a présenté le titre comme un hommage aux classiques du beat 'em up avec un système de contrôle efficace et du contenu à débloquer, notant l'absence de certains modes mais estimant l'expérience recommandable : « A tribute to beat'em up classics with a really good control scheme and loads of content to unlock. There are some modes missing, but so far is worth a try. »

« Despite an over-reliance on in-app purchases, Fightback is easily one of the coolest and most intense side-scrolling fighters on iOS. »
« A tribute to beat'em up classics with a really good control scheme and loads of content to unlock. There are some modes missing, but so far is worth a try. »
« There’s a lot of junk out there that isn’t worth the time of day, but Fightback delivers a few more punches than expected. »
« Despite the annoyingly overt focus on trying to get players to spend money, the core fighting system here is terrific enough to make it recommendable to lovers of old school brawlers. »
« That's really Fightback in a nutshell. It's a fun game, it's an amusing game, but it never leaves me craving more. »
« Fightback is one of the few brawlers that really takes advantage of touch controls for a unique and satisfying combat system. »
« Fightback is a waste of time and money. As a full premium game for a buck or two, it could have been a decent brawler to pass the time with. But as it stands, you're going to be waiting to play it more than actually playing it. At the end of the day, this is just another depressing chapter in the book of Ninja Theory. »
« A wonderful game that's battered into submission by an overbearing payment scheme, Fightback has the moves, but it uses them all wrongly. »
