Arms

About

Arms is a brawler that turns your Nintendo Switch into a boxing glove. Grab a Joy-Con in each hand and punch forward using motion controls, adjusting your fists with button presses to curve attacks. Choose from a roster of global fighters and customize their limbs with different arm types, each offering unique reach and power. Battle opponents in single-player matches or go head-to-head in local split-screen and online multiplayer. The core gameplay loops around dodging, dashing, and timing power-ups to unleash stronger hits. The standout here is the physicality of combat. Swinging your arms feels oddly satisfying, especially when you nail a fluky hit around obstacles. The split-screen mode keeps the action chaotic and fun for up to four players in one room. While the online component can be spotty, the game’s charm lies in its accessibility and the sheer variety of moveset combinations. Arms may not have lasting replay value for hardcore fighters, but it’s a solid pick for quick, punchy matches that highlight the Switch’s motion controls.
