This is apparently a fighter based off the street fighter EX series and fighting layer as well as the port version of it on the switch. Thankfully it does control rather well, and is fairly fun to mess around with in terms of movement and fighting mechanics.

While this game is a free to download game, the single player content is pretty much free to any characters you have, which the free version gives you a total of 4 characters. While the 2D art style of each character certainly pops, compared to the 3D model counterpart it leaves much to be desired. The game has a sort of arcade post 2000s vibe to it, with a lot of the stages looking rather rough around the edges, but as a sort of intentional way.

Overall, Fighting Ex Layer is a surprising find for a free barebones fighting game. The single player content is certainly lacking and the rest of the characters have to be bought, but if you are ever strapped for cash and just want to play a new fighting game, Fighting Ex Layer can certainly help you with that itch. Very neat.
