Imagine yourself with arms made of rubber, or at least arms that stretch, that is the crux of this amazing games. Fighters enter an arena and using their amazing arms do battle.
The characters themselves are so varied there is a lot to think about when choosing who you want to play as. Besides the different colors, and what they use as a weapon, you also have to think about their abilities. You see, like any other fighting game, these characters all have their strengths and weaknesses.
Say you choose, Ninjara, while fast you also have a teleport attack which can change how you play. Ribbon Girl can literally jump with music and Master Mummy can heal while blocking. Then you have characters like the newly added Lola Pop who can inflate herself just like a balloon. These characters really all do take some getting used to just because they are all so unique.
Arms is a game that you can certainly play for any amount of time. It is a game that has quite a few game modes for short sessions. Winning fights and these other games net you funds for purchases.

It is also a treat gathering arms as it takes money and your punches to even gain more. It might not be easy all the time, but collecting Arms is fun. Plus if you collect the same Arm it will increase its power which is quite a cool thing. Arms is a game that really wants you to succeed and doesn’t want you to feel like you are wasting time and in-game money on gathering more Arms.

Playing for a few hours can cause your muscles to ache the next day which proves it is a solid fighting game. You do feel like you are actually throwing the punches as you really are. It just makes this game that much cooler.
So, pick up your joy cons, pick a fighter and jump into the ring. ARMS is available now on the Nintendo Switch and is an absolutely great fighter with a lot of heart!
