Play Body Blows Online
Body Blows is that janky-but-lovable fighter where you hurl fireballs with a tea-sipping boxer and a monk who traded enlightenment for face kicks. Every punch lands with this satisfying thud, even if the backgrounds look like someone forgot to finish them.
Game Overview
Body Blows is that scrappy little Amiga fighter from '93 that tried really hard to be Street Fighter 2—and honestly? It kinda pulled it off. You’ve got your fireballs, your dragon punches, even the same stiff-but-satisfying controls. The roster’s small but weirdly charming: gangster brothers who hate each other, a British boxer who punches like he’s late for tea, and my personal favorite, Lo Ray—a Shaolin monk who apparently got bored of enlightenment and decided to kick people in the face for money.
First thing you’ll notice is how weighty the hits feel, especially when you land a spinning kick just right. The stages are basic (we’re talking single-background-with-no-frills basic), but the characters have this rough, chunky style that grows on you. Played it on DOS back in the day with a joystick that barely worked, and it still managed to be stupidly fun for what it was.
Fun fact: the PC version hid an extra character, Max, behind a cheat code—because of course it did. Team 17 went on to make two sequels, but this one’s still the weird, janky granddad of the series. If you dig early ‘90s fighters with more attitude than polish, it’s worth a few rounds.
Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
