Button mashing is out, and bone snapping cage matches are officially back. The sequel to the wildly popular brawler just dropped, completely overhauling the arcade mechanics with a ridiculously addictive MMA inspired combat system. UFB 2 isn’t just about wildly swinging for the fences anymore. You actually have to strategize, time your strikes, and master the grappling physics if you want to survive the octagon.

GRINDING THROUGH A BRUTAL CAREER GAUNTLET

Forget breezing through a short, boring campaign. The developers locked a massive fifty stage gauntlet behind the brand new career mode. You are constantly getting thrown into totally bizarre, highly dangerous fighting environments. One minute you are trading heavy elbows in a freezing glacier, and the next you are dodging knockout blows inside a glowing power plant. It genuinely tests how well you can adapt to absolute chaos while trying to build your legacy as an undisputed champion.

SETTLING GRUDGES IN LOCAL MULTIPLAYER

Training against bots is fine, but nothing beats the pure adrenaline of utterly humiliating your friends. The completely revamped multiplayer lets you take all those sweaty, high level tactics you learned in the career mode and unleash them on a real human sitting right next to you. It gets wildly competitive, turning casual hangouts into intense, screaming rivalries.

UNLOCKING A BIZARRE ROSTER OF HEAVY HITTERS

The fighter lineup here is absolutely unhinged. You get to choose from a massive roster of global combatants like the heavy hitting Bulldog Burton, the terrifying Hellga, and even a completely mechanical unit named Brobot. Just when you think you have mastered a character’s exact move set, the game violently shifts the meta by throwing heavily mutated zombie variants and hyper strong clones into the mix. It keeps the matchups completely unpredictable. Just keep an eye on your wallet. While jumping into the arena and throwing hands is totally free, some of the craziest cosmetics and extra features are locked behind optional paywalls.
