What parents need to know

Parents need to know that Fights in Tight Spaces is a turn-based, deck-building fighting game with brutal hand-to-hand combat. Players control a special agent tasked to take down a variety of criminal operations, from Italian mobsters to a terrorist organization. Selecting actions from a deck of cards, players strategically maneuver their agents around small rooms, punching, kicking, and grappling with enemies. Enemies fight back, punching and shooting as opportunity permits. Blood spatter effects (which can be turned off in the options menu) spray the ground, and enemies sprawl in ragdoll fashion once defeated. Various replay options provide a cinematic perspective, highlighting the viciousness of some attacks, such as smashing enemies' heads into walls. One of the gangs that players will face runs an illegal drug operation, and some fights take place in bars. This game's currently in early access, with certain features yet to be added.
