About the game
Unmatched: Hell's Kitchen brings Daredevil, Elektra, and Bullseye to the tactical fighting game system, where each hero's unique deck evokes their personal fighting style and legend. Tactical movement combines with no-luck combat resolution as heroes maneuver and clash in a highly asymmetrical duel. Two or four players can face off, and just when you've mastered one matchup, a new pairing changes everything. It's fast, sharp, and built for repeat play with different combinations.
Hobbli's Notes
Hobbli's team loves how distinct each Unmatched character feels to play: Hell's Kitchen's Marvel roster is a great entry into a deep, endlessly combinable system. Quick to teach, hard to master.
