All about fighting games in Roblox

Roblox is home to a lot of games that take familiar ideas and run wild with them. Roblox's take on fighting games is often broader than side-scrolling Street Fighter-style brawlers that dominate the genre on consoles and PC – there are melee fighters, sword-fighting games, boxing simulators and a whole lot more. Here's what you need to know about fighters in Roblox.

In Roblox, the term 'fighting game' refers to games that see two or more players duking it out with each other, with their characters usually fighting either hand-to-hand or with melee weapons. These experiences tend to put players in 3D arenas or even large levels, where you can take on lots of other players at once or fight one on one.

One of the more popular types of fighting games in Roblox is 'battlegrounds'. These fighters have lots of different iterations, but tend to take a page from the battle royale genre. Generally, you'll jump into a wide-open arena with lots of other players, where it's every fighter for themselves. Since Roblox plays from a third-person view and because it has so many players, battlegrounds are a great way to mix it up with a whole lot of fighting chaos.

In both battlegrounds and one-on-one fights, you can find many different themes for fighting games. Boxing is a major subgenre of fighting games in Roblox. They focus a lot on strategy and reading your opponent's moves in one-on-one fights. If you'd rather fight with a weapon like a sword, Roblox has plenty of games that simulate weapon-based combat, superhero moves or ninja abilities.

Because there are many different kinds of fighting games in Roblox, it can be tough to find exactly what you're looking for. It pays to be specific about the sort of experience that you want. Using the Roblox search bar, you can use the terms 'fighting' and 'fighting game' to bring up a wide variety of experiences.

'Battlegrounds' will help you find some of the biggest multiplayer battles, while terms such as 'boxing' and 'sword fight' can get you more specific experiences. The fighting game genre is big, though, so it's worth exploring to find games that interest you.

When choosing a fighting game, look for both the rating and the number of players to find the best ones. To get you started, we have a few great fighting games with different themes that you should take a look at. The Strongest Battlegrounds gives you over-the-top fighting moves, like superhero powers and ninja abilities. You can also capture the superhero fantasy with Super Power Fighting Simulator.

If fighting with weapons is your speed, try ZO Samurai Sword Fighting, which is full of weapons inspired by feudal Japan, or Weapon Fighting Simulator, which has a whole lot of options to take into battle. Boxing Beta! is great if you want to float like a butterfly and sting like a bee, while Saber Simulator gives you a chance to wield a laser sword like you're in a galaxy far, far away.
