  6.0

  Spartan Fist is a simple pleasure, what you see is what you get, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. You’ll have fun as long as you manage your expectations; it will get repetitious while you grind enough upgrades to make it to the end of the game. As far as mono-mechanic games go, Spartan Fist is enjoyable and recommended.

  Spartan Fist has a wonderful presentation with destructible environments and a catchy soundtrack. The tips between levels and the other bits of writing are clever. The options menu is fully stocked, making the game accessible to a wide range of players. Making dudes explode via a bare fist is inherently enjoyable. However, even with all of this in its favor, the repetitive and unsatisfying loop at the core of the experience is a death knell.

  4.0

  Spartan Fist offers a unique, but ultimately flawed concept for a roguelike. The combat quickly becomes repetitive, leaving you hoping that good luck in the procedurally generated arenas will quickly lead you to the boss fights.

  4.0

  Spartan Fist on Xbox One has some good traits and I’m very interested to hear what the team does after this, but this title ends up as being disappointing and can’t live up to its synopsis. In fact, a large portion of playtime will be spent with you being annoyed at the frustrating gameplay. Luckily, it doesn’t last that long.
