Channel your inner Fist of the North Star in combo-obsessed beat 'em up, Spirit X Strike

Spare me those slow-moving, sluggish, canned action set pieces that are more cutscene than conflict. I'm trying to punch a guy hundreds of times in a matter of seconds! Spirit X Strike has the right idea—and in a new trailer rolled out at today's PC Gaming Show 2025, its free flowing combo system is looking as flashy as it is frantic.

The game, now slated to release in early access on June 20, gets all its vibes from "classic anime and manga" like Fist of the North Star and Dragon Ball Z, according to a press release.
