A great collection of obscure Taiwanese arcade games. Most of the beat-'em/slash-'em ups pretty much play the same but they are crazier, sillier, and believe it or not, actually play better than their Capcom counterparts. Take notice of the "Additional Notes" in the System Requirement section - this collection prefers 1080p as the optimal display resolution and I find that to be true when playing fullscreen, which …

Worth the price of admission for 'Martial Masters' alone, but if you're a fan of belt-action games like 'Final Fight', you're in for a treat.

Pretty terrible ports, especially for the price. - The game's display disappears after you press start to get to the game menu. Tab-ing out and back in *usually* fixes it. Note that for devices on SteamOS or Bazzite, you can't do that in Game Mode so you either have to play in desktop mode or you have to just make a list of all the games and their launch options and count how many times you press up or down to get …

8/14/26 Edit-Game was updated to fix the audio issues partly. Still no fullscreen option or fix there and no volume adjust option but they say it's coming. If you haven't bought this yet hold off until more fixes are made. I really want to like this but I can't until two important fixes are made-a fullscreen option (you're forced to play windowed so the window and your PC's taskbar cut off the edges of the screen …

As of update 1.0.43.3 Martial Masters is unplayable, instead of fixing the issues it looks like it's breaking more. Do not recommend until the sound & startup issues are fixed.

neutral · AI labelView post →No achievements and poor sound quality at launch. Extremely disappointed and hoping developers remedy this. if these things are important to you, then I would suggest not buying this game considering the price. Ps I bought this game ages ago on Switch and the sound quality was far superior.

I dunno if this will be patched. Also see in comments that collection is emulated badly and the sound is bad as well. What a disappointment I’ve never played these arcade games and really was looking forward to playing them. No not BUY this!

I wasn't too sure what to expect, other people can spread misinformation online or make you think something isn't that good, but this is a fantastic collection! All the games run smooth and perfect. I played every game for a bit and I didn't notice any issues regarding speed of the games, They all run as they should. The games also give you the option to play each one in it's original aspect ratio or play with a stretched screen. This is big if…

Horrible at fighting games, but had blast playing Martial Masters. Never played it before, so it's good that I can play it on Steam officially. Saw some reviews about sound issues, but it seems with the recent patches that it's been fixed. I ran as is and had no issues with sound or resolution, so I can't really relate with others on it.
