About This Game
Divekick represents a revolutionary approach to fighting games by stripping away complex inputs and focusing solely on two-button mechanics. The game demonstrates remarkable depth through these simple controls, emphasizing essential fighting game skills like spacing, timing, and mind games. The developers at Iron Galaxy created Divekick to remove the barrier of memorization that traditional fighting games present. Characters can only perform two actions: Dive makes them jump upward, while Kick propels them diagonally downward. Matches consist of rounds where the first hit wins, with victory going to the player who wins five rounds first. The game features over 14 unique fighters, including Fencer from Nidhogg and Johnny Gat from Saints Row, each with their own storylines. It offers GGPO-powered online multiplayer, local versus play, and full Steamworks integration. The innovative approach has earned praise from numerous gaming publications and selection for IndieCade 2013.
