Seba Games Dev's love letter toStreets of Rage and Final Fight — Fight'N Rage — is getting a free update today! The game first launched on the Switch in September 2019, and received a glowing 9/10 review from us, where we praised its "surprisingly deep and satisfyingly weighty combat engine".
Now, the side-scrolling beat 'em up is getting some pretty big changes which'll make fans of the genre happy. These fun little patch notes — grabbed from Steam (thanks Greatsong1!) — bring in new costumes, the ability to look at stats, some minor fixes, and what looks like a brand new unlockable mode!
Here are the patch notes for your reading pleasure:
Version 1.0.6 (Released 2nd May, 2022)
- Statistics: As I always loved transparency, so, now it's possible to view game statistics (which were already being processed internally from the first version of the game!). So if you are interested in knowing how many times you have been destroyed, or how many times you have destroyed the game (among other things)... you can now access that information! (To do so, you just have to enter to "Extras" section.)
- Minimal various performance improvements: That's something pretty unavoidable when you were continuing working on your own framework. =)
- A new secret mo... ahem ... what am I saying ?: It would be very absurd that after having achieved an endgame and having bought characters 9, 16 and 17 you can access a new game mode, doing something as silly as stopping in the "Arcade Mode" option and hitting such a weird sequence as "back, back, forward, forward" twice, and then "back, forward" four times. I'm talking nonsense... don't listen to me. =)
- Finally, I added new costumes for enemies: For some reason, it would be sad if having a 3-player mode where you can also select enemies, there are enemies that only have 2 suits... or that the more enjoyable enemies to play as Diane have few suits available. Don't you think?
Fight'N Rage is currently one of the titles on sale in Europe through the Spring Sale, and it's currently 55% off until 8th May. That's the lowest price it's ever been, so if you're in Europe, grab it!

Cool, first time hearing about a patch update for this game.
this is one of the finest beat-em-ups available on Switch, bar none. if not the finest.
combat is fast, fluid, satisfyingly crunchy, and nails the sensations of what made older beat-em-ups fun to play.
seeing the small dev team committed to ensuring the game is of high quality for players new and old is wonderful.
It's definitely a game worth owning IMO. I enjoyed it but haven't played it for a while. I really ought to re-visit
Ridiculously fun beat em up.
Nice to see a free update for this game. A very fine beat em up game. Still somewhat of a bummer that there is no online play though.
Very underrated game if you like Streets of Rage you will love this one, it’s like if Streets of Rage Remake was made into its own game.
Great game.
I bought the physical version and I'm so glad I did.
One of the finest beat em ups on the system.
Can't wait to dive back in.
I do love this game. The graphics and combat hit a sweet spot for me.
I get more of a Battletoads vibe from this game than Final Fight or Streets of Rage.
"That's the lowest price it's ever been, so if you're in Europe, grab it!"
Cries in American
Great game. I want to kiss the guy who proposed adding in Street Fighter 3-style parries to a beat-em up.
Best beat em up on Switch!!
This and The Takeover are my two favourite Beat em ups on Switch. Absolute gem of a game. Looking forward to trying out the update!
This game is good but the art direction kinda turns me off.
I'm still on the final boss of this game — I'll dip in every now and then and get my bum roundly handed to me...
