TA - "My favorite beat 'em ups have character and personality, tight combat and hit-boxes, and responsive controls that allow for tactical decision making."
Hardcore Gamer: The new Humble Weekly Bundle has dropped and if you’re thirsting for some classic beat-em-up action, you really should check it out.

Please note that this review is for bearded folk only; those of you that do not have said beard must spend an eternity ever wondering what it is like to be so blessed by such awesome chops. Fist of Awesome is a manly-man's game; it makes those Old Spice commercials seem like a group of frail little school-girls huddled up around the newest fashion doll (now with 8 opposable joints!). In the world of video games, Fist of Awesome is Chuck Norris; that fist hidden in Chuck's beard? It is a Fist of Awesome. If you do so happen to have a beard, please, pick up the nearest fallen tree to use as a tooth pick and come right on into this wonderful land of bear-punching goodness.

It’s been receiving some mixed reviews since being released on Steam earlier this month, so instead of reading a bunch of fancy words, why not watch someone else play it and decide for yourself?"
