It only takes a few minutes to confirm that this is not a very good game.

Beat'em-ups can be very simple games, but various physical and audio touches can carry titles that lack in complex gameplay. Fighters Unleashed is not only a very simple game, it lacks any of those physical or audio touches. Beat'em-ups are about physical violence, but attacks here have no impact. Audio is weak, enemies barely flinch, attack animations have little "omph" and no follow-through. Animations are also used awkwardly at times, with the player just standing in the air for air combos or using a weird attack when landing. Even the beat'em-up staple of punching a vending machine for an item is weak, with the stage object taking no damage and the recovery item simply appearing on the ground next to it.

The same lack of attention and polish is evident in the game's UI. Menus do little to draw attention to the currently selected option, just slightly increasing its size. The default Unity start-up config screen is used to handle most settings. There is nothing like a "how to play" screen (nor of course a button config option) in-game, you just have to figure everything out through trial and error (not that there is much to figure out.) The game even lacks an "Exit Game" option, either as a menu option or a key command, you have to Alt-F4 to exit the game.
