A retro-arcade brawler that drags you from a blood-soaked menu screen straight into the pit. THRILL KILL is a pixelated, over-the-top arena fighter built for chaos — multiple fighters, shifting match formats, and a rival system that punishes you for playing it safe. Every round escalates. Every fight has a grudge.
Note: This is a fan-made project and is not from the actual/original team behind the game.
Storyline You're the last "Killah" standing in a decaying underground circuit where the crowd demands spectacle, not survival. Match formats mutate round to round — 1 VS 1, 2 VS 1, 3 VS 1, FREE FOR ALL — and a mysterious Rival stalks you through the bracket. Bonus rounds and hidden unlocks sit behind locked routes. Only by surviving the escalating gauntlet (and the brutal final rounds that force 1 VS 1) do you earn your rank — and your name.
