Gameplay

Rumble Fighter combines beat-'em-up and arena-fighting mechanics in an online environment. Players create customizable avatars that equip Scrolls—representing martial-arts fighting styles—and ExoCores—special transformations and abilities that unlock unique attacks. Matches support up to eight players in free-for-all or team-based formats. The game modes include: Battle Mode (elimination combat in 1 v 1 or team formats), Rumble Mode (variants with special rules such as King-of-the-Hill, Potion Battle, and other formats) and Adventure Mode (cooperative missions versus AI-controlled enemies).

To create a new character, players have to choose between several classes with different strengths and weaknesses. Striker is a warrior class with physical combat skills - using the ExoCore improves their strength and speed, dealing more damage to the opponents. Soul Fighter call upon the living souls to boost their power and rely on hit and run attacks, with their strong points being speed and jump. ExoCore transforms them into beasts, increasing all the abilities.

Development

Rumble Fighter is a free to play fighting game published by RedFox Games. It was originally available through OGPlanet for some time, but GamesCampus took over the service, then RedFoxGames took over. Despite the game's age, it still maintains a small, but loyal playerbase. The game is a lobby based PvP brawler, but does have some staged based PvE gameplay.

Rumble Fighter was first released in North America under publisher OGPlanet in August 2007.

Reception

Rumble Fighter received mixed reviews from independent gaming outlets. Critical Gamer described it as "a very basic online fighter which will dissatisfy if you are expecting anything else... unless you are willing to pump money in to this you will find yourself without many options".

MMOS.com praised its "good customization ... good combo system ... good map variety", though it also noted "dated visuals" and "some pay-to-win elements".
