Fights in Tight Spaces: Complete Edition

Fights in Tight Spaces recreates that action movie feeling of stylishly dismantling a room full of goons.

Fights in Tight Spaces combines deck-building with clever tactics in a roguelike format that is as satisfying as it is punishing.

It's a great concept, and it's perfectly enjoyable, but it lacks the excitement and flourishes it needs to really come alive.

An excellent turn-based strategy that shines in spite of some minor annoyances.

Whether it’s kicking a samurai over a balcony railing or diving at a lady with two shotguns so I can kick her in the face, there are tons of satisfying little moments. Fighting is fun, and doing it in a tight space naturally leads to nicely cinematic moments. If you’ve been craving the small-scale, ramped-up chess feel of a title like Into the Breach, Fights in Tight Spaces is a fantastic game that packs plenty of punch.

Fights In Tight Spaces is a unique and thoroughly enjoyable twist on the deckbuilding genre thanks to its grounded tone and turn-based tactics, but it falls slightly short of being something truly special.

It takes a lot for a roguelike to feel truly fresh on Switch, but Fights in Tight Spaces does a great job of taking a well-worn format and making it feel just that. The turn-based combat means you'll constantly be weighing up the right strategy while the unique difficult levels mean that completing your first run is only the start of the fun. Though it isn't quite optimised for the Switch, it still looks and plays very well. Recommended.

The best thing I can say about Fights in Tight Spaces is that it's so easy to get lost in a run. You can start this game at 7 or 8 p.m. and it'll be midnight before you even know what's what. It takes a special kind of game for me to lay in bed overnight thinking about what my strategy will be the next day, but this one has done that. It's one of the best indie titles this year and will probably go down as one of my favorite roguelikes ever by the time this secret agent sits down to have his martini.

The intense card game creates a solid experience of fighting and Gun Fu.

Fights in Tight Spaces creates a great gameplay loop between its deckbuilding and turn based combat. Visually might feel a little sterile at times, but part of the charm is the way it kind of plays like a simulation agencies might train agents and how good the player might be improvising on the fly.
