Octagon Hype: Arena

Fights are real-time bouts in a 3D cage. Move around your opponent, tap to throw a quick jab or low kick, hold to charge an uppercut or a knee, and cover up when he comes forward. Every strike costs stamina: throw wild combos, and you gas out; play it too safe, and the judges give the fight to him. Knock him down, land a head kick, or win on the scorecards.

What else is in the game:

• League rankings. Beat the fighter ranked above you and take his place. Reach number one, fight the champion for the belt.
• The Arena. Challenge the fighters of other players - the computer fights for them using their upgrades and their Fight Plan. Set your own plan, defend your spot, and take revenge on those who beat you.
• Every opponent has his own style and a signature strike: the brawler, the kickboxer, the counter-puncher who waits for your mistake.
• Upgrades. Spend your purse on hands, kicks, block, health, stamina, and hype between fights.
• Your fighter's life. Start in a yard under the bridge, buy clothes and rides, and move out to a better place.
• Hype rating. Exciting fights and your style raise your hype, and a higher place among players means a bigger purse.
• 24 awards and daily tasks.
