Fighting games see a few characters fighting in close proximity. In these games, characters use martial arts and close combat weapons to fight each other until one drops down in defeat. Fighting games were amongst one of the first gaming genres that introduced multiplayer gaming to the public. Punch, kick, throw and stab your enemies to win battles and learn to use massive combos on your way to victory. You can enjoy these games in single-player mode, or face off against friends in multiplayer mode. So, grab on to your Xbox controller and fight your way to glory with these fighting games that are available on Amazon.
Tekken is a classic and was one of the first successful fighting games to utilise a 3D fighting plane. When it was first launched, it was largely available in arcades but was soon ported to consoles and even PCs. The seventh game in the Tekken series brings an end to the 20-year-old Mishima clan feud as they struggle to settle scores and gain supremacy of a global empire. Choose from a huge roster of 30 playable characters with some classic fan favourites like Paul Pheonix and the King, or pick one of the new characters and fight your way to the top.
If bashing your opponent unconscious is not giving you enough thrills, then get your hands on Mortal Kombat 11 and know what real brutality means. Mortal Kombat 11 lets you (quite literally) beat your opponent to a pulp. You can use a combo of punches and kicks to beat your opponent or use character-specific special moves and enjoy some the gruesome attacks and fatalities. The story mode continues the story from Mortal Kombat (2011) and Mortal Kombat X (2015). Mortal Kombat 11 can get quite violent, so it should only be played by mature audiences.

This is one of the best superhero fighting games available for the current generation of Xbox One users and makes for a good addition to your fighting games collection.
