Free Game Review: Toribash
Toribash is a Single/Multiplayer turn-based rag doll fighting game. You control one of two warriors, which can be manipulated by position and contraction of various joints. Your fighter is capable of dismembering your opponent in a multitude of grotesque ways. You can decapitate, rip the opponents arms and legs off, or just plain rip the body to shreds. Blood is split by the gallon, not by the ounce.

The game has a relatively steep learning curve, but with practice you will be dismembering people in no time. The real play is in the multiplayer, as single player is just against a dummy opponent. If you decide to go the multiplayer route, watch out for the “black belt” players who for some reason dwell in the newbie rooms. For whatever reason there isn’t a level cap on the beginner rooms, so you will have to learn under fire and will most likely be getting owned for a good portion of your newbie career.
Toribash is unique, which is one of its main draws, but multiplayer can get dull while you wait for other players to get in rounds, or you are getting owned by higher leveled people. If you are a quick learner however, this game might be able to quell your thirst for blood.
