Cruz Brothers

About

Cruz Brothers is a fast-paced fighting game centered on a classic revenge arc. You play as Coach Marcus Luz, a disgraced trainer who teams up with underdog brothers Felipe and Igor Cruz to take down the criminal gang that destroyed his career. Combat blends realistic boxing mechanics with exaggerated fantasy elements like supernatural finishing moves. The single-player mode follows a straightforward but punchy story while the online multiplayer focuses on tight 1v1 matches with adjustable difficulty settings. Released in 2018, the game has maintained a small but dedicated player base for its responsive controls and character customization. While not graphically flashy, its no-nonsense approach to fighting game fundamentals has earned it a 78% on Metacritic. The Cruz Brothers' distinct personalities and the optional challenge of mastering their unique playstyles keep matches feeling fresh despite the genre's crowded market. Available on PS4, PC, and Xbox One.
