Toribash

You control a ragdoll martial artist in turn-based fights. Rather than choosing preset attacks, you set the states of the fighter’s joints to plan how their body moves.

Plan punches, kicks, throws, grapples, blocks, or acrobatic moves, then watch the physics play out. Balance, momentum, and timing shape each exchange, and impacts can cause injuries or dismemberment.

Fight in single-player or multiplayer modes, try different game modes, and customize your fighter’s appearance. You can also create moves, modify characters or environments with the Mod Maker, and take part in tournaments and other events.

Players often value Toribash for its unusual joint-by-joint combat, physics-driven outcomes, and freedom to invent moves. Reviews describe a rewarding sense of improvement and funny, unpredictable fights, while also repeatedly warning that learning the controls takes considerable time. Some players also mention sparse online activity.
