About Mystical Fighter

Mystical Fighter is a side scrolling beat em up where the player controls a kabuki warrior. This character has traveled back to the Shogun era through a time portal to confront the evil lord Kabuki.

Combat involves standard punches and kicks against groups of foes, supplemented by more dynamic actions. The warrior can perform jump kicks, lift and throw enemies, or grab and spin them rapidly. Progress through each timed stage section requires defeating these enemy hordes.

Scattered items provide support, with scrolls charging a special magic power and other pick ups refilling the life bar. The conclusion of every stage is marked by a challenging boss encounter that must be overcome to continue.
