Two Classic PS1 Beat-‘Em-Ups Will Throw a Punch at PS5 This Week

This week, on October 23rd, two classic PlayStation 1 beat ‘em up games – Fighting Force (1997) and its sequel, Fighting Force 2 (1999) – are coming to PS5 in a single compilation.

Limited Run Games has released The Fighting Force Collection, which combines both 3D fighting games into a single package for modern consoles.

Created by the team behind Tomb Raider, Fighting Force lets you choose from four characters to defeat the villainous Dr. Dex Zeng. It’s similar to a fresh take on the classic Streets of Rage gameplay.

The new game follows a similar idea to the first, but you play it alone. The original game allowed for two players to play together.

Physical copies of the game were previously available for pre-order through Limited Run Games, but are now gone. If you weren’t able to get a physical copy, this digital version is a great alternative.
