'Guts' Comes To PS4 And Xbox One, Gets PC Update

by Rainier on Aug. 28, 2018 @ 3:27 a.m. PDT

Guts is a hilarious, over-the-top and ultra-violent Tarantino-style fighting game with a gameplay unique to the genre.

The game doesn’t feature a traditional health bar, instead fighters must rip off their foes’ arms and legs and deliver a final GUTS blow to win. If the player loses a limb during the fight, the action continues, while the player will now even have different moves to fight his opponent. The brightly coloured, hilarious spectacle also features a stunning rock soundtrack. 

In Guts players must dismember each other by chopping off arms and legs. Lost a limb or two? Worry not, the fight continues even when there are just two little stumps, and it keeps going until one fighter emerges victorious after dismembering all the opponent’s four limbs! GUTS brings many innovations - concerning the other fighting games currently in the market. The main difference is that GUTS doesn’t have a Health Bar. Fighters must rip off their foes’ arms and legs and deliver a final dismembering blow to win. So it’s useless to keep kicking and punching your way around: you must dismember to win.


The new update for Guts brings a multitude of improvements to the game that will not only enhance gameplay but also make the game more accessible for new players entering battle. Apart from enhanced graphics, the game receives a complete overhaul of the fighting system to allow for faster and more fluid action.

The main changes to the game are:

  • Full rework of the move system, with rebalancing and streamlined controller input
  • After losing a limb, the remaining body parts now allow for more powerful combos and moves, giving the player a chance for a big comeback
  • All GUTS moves have been optimized and can be executed quicker and more fluidly, also every character now features two GUTS moves
  • Players can now specifically select the limbs to target with their GUTS moves
  • New blocking system; the blocks are easier to pull off and now feature an energy bar, that, if depleted, can lead to dizziness of the character
  • New lighting, many new graphic effects, higher framerates and a more streamlined gameplay experience with optimized integration of bullet time lead to a more fluid gaming experience
These game improvements all come in light of Libredia and Flux Game Studios announcing the console versions of the game, that are currently in development.
GUTS will be released for PS4 and Xbox One in Autumn 2018.

Key Features:

  • Extremely bloody, fast-paced and violent matches
  • No health bar, no fight timer - players must dismember their opponent completely to win
  • 9 playable characters and 5 different stages
  • Over 9 hours of single player gameplay to reveal all Character Stories
  • Local multiplayer and online ranked mode
