Spartan Fist punches through dungeons full of cats in mech suits on May 15

Indie studio Glass Bottom Games thinks there’s a better way to get your aggression out than typing in all-caps at a stranger on the internet: punching. Its newest game, Spartan Fist, is a brawls-to-the-walls roguelike where you punch your way through a gauntlet of cats in mech suits and “grandpa ninjas.” It hits PC on May 15.

The grandpa ninjas are cute, Glass Bottom founder and CEO Megan L. Fox assures me. But that doesn’t mean they’re any less deadly. Spartan Fist will ship with four levels, culminating in a boss fight, and it’s a cheeky romp that’s not afraid of getting silly. It has a colorful boxy aesthetic, much like Glass Bottom’s previous voxelated games Hot Tin Roof and Jones on Fire. Even though you’re letting your fists fly against enemies, the violence is cartoony rather than gory.
