This game is the next best thing after an epic wall of death!

Brilliant!
Soundtracks are amazing! Original metal songs in 8-bit style pulls you in a death stage where the audience want to see nothing but fists and metal! Very funny gameplay, seems tough in the beginning but easy to get to and to enjoy with friends!
Don't mind if you are on fire, just have a cold beer!

Nice game! I wasn't able to hit any opponents in rhythm with the music because I suck but I still had a great time playing this game.

It's Raining Fists and Metal is the definitive hybrid 2D retro pixel arena brawler and Guitar Hero rhythm game that nobody wanted or asked for. Gameplay consists of your basic Smash Bros ripoff arena fighting (but with worse graphics) combined with QTE/rhythm keypresses as you can only attack if you hit the attack at the same time as the note... which really falls down hard because in a fighting game your hand eye co-ordination on your positioning vs the opponent is critical... and how can you do this when you also need to look at the rhythm note bar along the top? Yeah, you can't... the fundamental game concept is broken. But at least there's symmetry... the technical implementation is equally garbage.

From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard.

A choice was made to use obsolete, decades old retro pixel "art" as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics. It's unclear if this is due to lack of budget or talent, regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result.

There's no options to change the resolution for the game or customise the graphics settings. There's no way for gamers to ensure this is running at the native resolution of their displays... there's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision. There's no way for gamers to try improve the low quality graphics.

Bewilderingly, the game doesn't include proper audio controls, so you can't turn down the annoying music, you'll need to alt+tab out and stop the music using the Windows sound mixer. This is obviously not okay and it's unclear why the developers chose not to include this basic feature. I know, the point of the game is a rhythm game so you need to hear the music, but I can't stress enough here.. the music is complete and utter crap. It's almost like the opposite of music. Anti-music. Every time the soundtrack for this game is played, actual music becomes unwritten and lost forever. That's seriously how bad this is.

The controls can't be customised, which will be an annoyance for many, but it can also render the game unplayable for differently-abled gamers.

These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game.

It's Raining Fists and Metal didn't appeal much to the people who own a copy of the game, either. It has achievements, and they show us a very clear picture that the game didn't really capture any interest from gamers. The most commonly and easily attained achievement is for getting through the tutorial, and only around 38 percent of players bothered to get that far before uninstalling the game, less than half the players. Hardly a success story, gamers just weren't all that interested in the game.

It's Raining Fists and Metal has an overly optimistic price of around $4 USD, it's not worth it given the defects and shortcomings with the product, especially considering the sheer number of completely free, much higher quality games on Steam.
