*This article is for the first game in the series. For the Brutal Fists franchise as a whole, s*ee *Brutal Fists series.*

Brutal Fists is the first in the Brutal Fists franchise. It has spawned a cult following which later contributed to the sequel Brutal Fists 2.

## Story

There is a mysterious figure by the name of Edmund Gareth, also known as the Mad Alchemist. Edmund has created a cryptic and deadly tournament called Brutal Fists (hence the game's title) where the best fighters compete against each other. Behind that tournament lies a plot conducted by the Mad Alchemist himself, which is to take over the world with his homunculi army and make himself a god of it. Will a winner defeat the Mad Alchemist and save the world from his coming tyranny?

## Gameplay

Brutal Fists is a one-on-one fighting game formatted somewhere between 2.5D and 3D in which players fight on a 2D plain in a 3D environment but can still side step in accord around the stage. The game plays similar to Mortal Kombat (it doesn't help that Mortal Kombat is the game's biggest influence) and contains special moves and all characters have two fatalities called "Death Finishes" which, much like in Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, King of Fighters and Tekken can be done after enough rounds were won.
