About Pit Fighter

Pit Fighter is a fighting game presented from a third person perspective. Its visual style uses digitized graphics of real people, with zoom effects during the action.

Participants choose from three combatants named Buzz, Ty, or Kato. The competition involves a series of fights where every third bout is designated a Grudge Match, which tests the fighters against one another. A special three knockdown format determines the winner of these encounters.

Victory in a match yields several monetary rewards, including a Knockout Bonus, a Brutality Bonus, and a Fight Purse. The overall objective is to progress through the bouts to reach the final Elimination Match. The winner of this match earns the right to challenge the reigning champion, known as the Masked Warrior.
