Toribash for Mac

Limited fighting game where you make the moves

Toribash is an unusual combat game where your role is simply to make 3D figures smash the hell out of each other. It features a range of fighting styles including Sumo, Kick Boxing, and Judo. The graphics are in the form of vectored 3D characters, and the gameplay is extremely limited. The controls can be frustrating, but Toribash can be fun once you get the hang of it.

In this demo version, you can only perform limited moves and you can't earn belts. However, for $20, you can upgrade to the full version. The overall gameplay would be enhanced significantly if the characters were at least given names or personalities, the scenarios were a bit more imaginative, and if there were some kind of competition mode. Toribash is fine if you just want to smash-up some limbs, but the gameplay is awkward, limited, and not something that will have you coming back for more.
