My favourite card-battling brawler got a sequel — it's playable now

At the PC Gaming Show a surprise drop arrived: 2 Fights 2 Tight Spaces is available in Early Access right now. 2021's Fights in Tight Spaces was one of my favourite deck‑building games, dropping you and your deck into a series of action sequences where cards let you move around enemies or perform a flip kick that had you kicking two people in the face at once.

The world premiere trailer shown at the show highlights several changes. The biggest addition is co‑op multiplayer, so you and some buddies can get together and beat up thugs as a shared pastime. You'll also be able to use the environment offensively — the trailer even shows dunking an unfortunate mook into a deep fat fryer, recalling the most disturbing part of Spooks (2002).

Outside of those bits, you can take weapons from opponents, with cards that change depending on whether you're armed or not. Environments have received a lick of paint and the game includes additions from the half‑sequel Knights in Tight Spaces.
