One of the biggest fighting game tournaments in the world, Evo, is set to kick off in Las Vegas later this week. Over 10,000 participants will duke it out across eight games to try and take home the top prize and secure themselves a spot on the game’s respective leaderboards.
It’s always around now that I get the itch to dive back into some old favourites and try new fighting games too. If you’re in the same boat as me, then you’re in luck. Steam has just kicked off the Fighting Games Fest, offering some meaty discounts on a ton of different fighters.
Top Picks for Fighting Game Enthusiasts
Guilty Gear Strive, a 2D anime fighter with gorgeous visuals and a cast of incredibly cool looking characters, is one of the more popular choices alongside Tekken and Street Fighter, especially at a competitive level.
Some non-Evo but noteworthy mentions include Dragon Ball FighterZ, which is currently a huge 84% off. Soulcalibur 6 is also going for a low price, with it being 90% off. If you’re not too fussed about jumping online and going against other real-life folk, it’s well worth grabbing.
There are plenty more fighting games on sale—Smashlike Rivals of Aether, Dead or Alive 6, and Samurai Shodown just to name a few—but the above are definitely the ones most worth grabbing if you’re looking to throw some videogame hands.
The sale is running now until July 22 at 10 AM PT, which is just enough time to sneak in and grab a few games if Evo ends up giving you the fighting game itch.
