For free internet game this would be ok, but asking even as low as €1.99 is just too much money for this absolute stinker of a game.

Not bad, but not good either.

Very much to be improved. Looks like an average fighting game, but when you compare it with Street Fighter, there is a lot in this game to be improved.

Couldn't rate it especially high. My total impression was a slight disappointment.

Basic fighting game, it has some potential but it would need some more polishing before call it a good game, a bit hard to play with it's controls, combat movements sometime are funny, anyway the price isn't much high, since GamersGate always have a good offer on it, so you could give it a check, maybe you will enjoy it.

I payed about 1 pound/2ฃ for this and i must say it was not worth the price.

Breaking The Rules – The Roman Tournament is a horrible fighting game, with really weird controlls, low res-textures, amazingly bad animations and extremly bad fighting in it.

There are no tutorials that i know of in the game you just get thrown in to the game knowing that you move with "WASD" but not how to kick, punch, block or run. I tryed to play this game for about an hour or less and then i coulden't take it anymore.

This is just a horrible game, buggy as all heck (your player gets stuck, your opponents get stuck, hit detection is awful) The graphics are block-y and horrible, the controls are clunky. It had potential being a brawler that you fight multiple opponents in, but this one fell way short of any half-way decent mark.

This game to me is very fun. Even though there is no tutorial on what the controls are, it's still very fun when you figure it out just by playing. There are some issues though with this game. Like not saving settings for the game every time I want to play, or crashing when loading new matches for tournaments. Hopefully these will be fixed for the future and the sale it's on now for $2.89 is actually a very good deal for this game. Though if it were full price for $9.99 I would rate it at a 2 star because it is not worth that much for the problems it has now.

Well this game is constantly on sale,so i said to myself its cheap why not to try it. Well it is obvious not AA title game but i had fun playing it. The movments of fighters are weird so when you punch someone the foot or hand goes through him or dont even touch him. So fighting looks really clumsy and graphics is not the best,but its an old game. All in all you can have decent fun playing it

This game has some serious problems. First and foremost, it is buggy as sheit! Apart from the half-funny bugs that send you flying across from a kick in the knee, there is also CTDs, lag, CTDs, messy options, CTDs, trying to use a gamepad makes you control two characters and CTDs.

Besides that you can't see or change the controls in-game, even after trying to consult the manual I wasn't able to do anything beside strandard kicks.

I wouldn't advise anyone to get this game. Unless you want to torture yourself, stay away!

This game is really a disapointment, it does not give you any training, and you cant see the key mapping or change it, all you can do it start a tournament or a quick game and then try to defend your self, and using a keyboard its hard to try and figure out what keys that does anything.

other then that the game runs badly, its laggy and ragdoll effect is active even before you get hit to the ground, i was still standing when my torso just went backwards toward the ground, and was just flailing around

so all in all i regret buying this game, its really a waste of cash

Finally, a good fighting game on pc. I started playing with playstation, and my gaming career has seen all tekkens and soul caliburs, i was awaiting something similar on pc. It may not be well polished as those, but it's still good.

First to speak my mind about this game I state that I am a big fan of martial arts games. Well I have to say that "Breaking The Rules" is much more fun of the average of the other fighting games that usually gets used. The idea of ​​having a brawl with multiple fighters instead of an 1 vs 1 match becomes fun against the computer and becomes totally hilarious when played with 4 friends. My advice, however is to play it with a common game pad.

Wow this game is really BAD and not in a good way! Character movement feels like your under water or swimming in molasses. Keyboard layout is awful and cant be remapped? You basically only have a few attacks. It all feels stilted and boring.

The graphics arent so great, but try to be ( it's low budget title after all), the controls are a little bit hard, but the whole fighting is tactical intense and rewarding and the artificial inteligence is very smart!

I just think some people dislike this because they never play a fight simulator on pc, at least this kind of fight.

Give it a try if you don't like fights with fireballs or energy beams.

I would give it 3 or 4 stars if it was full price, but at discounted it deserves 5 stars.

This game is very very very funny and entertaining.

I can't stop to play it with my brother and two friends all on the same screen.

In practice it has become my cross and delight.

The graphics are decent, the animations are enough, ( even if, for a 3-D indie game it reaches very high standards ),

but what is SO addictive is the combat.

Everything is very tactical, every shot is sweating until the last breath and you have to be careful not to get

carried away by the heat striking at random.

In addition, the maps are full of environmental ko, one of the things I always wanted in fighting games.

As i said, this game reaches the maximum if played with friends, but be sure to have enough controllers ( even if up to 2 players can use the keyboard but honestly

is very hard to play fighting games with keyboard ).

The local multiplayer component ( that also includes team battles up to 4 vs 4 ) plus a single player brawl intense and hard to win,

make this game a worthy investment for 1,95 of your gaming euros.

This game is really really bad. The character moves like a tinman. Realism is nowhere to be found. So do not fall for that.

This game is like "Mortal Kombat" but with a brawl fashion.

It suffers from some bugs which could be fixed with some polishing, but those present as I write this review won't stop you from having a lot of fun, especially if playing with friends, because they are mainly little graphic glitches.

It has very nice gameplay and fighting style based on tactic and observation of what enemy do, instead of smashing randomly buttons. Graphics also are quite good for being an indie, and overall I'd recommend the game to anyone who loves beat 'em up and fighting games in general, especially now that it has a very good price.

If you want a game to pick up and play for short bursts to fill some time, then you won't go too far wrong with Garshasp.

This game is awful. Graphically it isn't up to par, the camera is all over the place, the fighting is very chaotic and you can't even see what your controls are without having to reassign them. Many big bugs haunt this game and I very much regret the €1,49 I spent on this.

This Games is bad.

It's slow, it has bad animation and an even worse control (even with a gamepad).

An no, it's not a problem with my hardware (i5 2500k & GTX 580 @ 8 GB Ram).

Virtual Fighter 2 (who is a 12++ years old) is a much better game than this.

If you want a good fighting game, then go for Street Fighter 4 or one of the Guilty Gear X2 games.

Breaking The Rules is an amazingly fun beat them up experience that can be play single player, online or local(couch) coop or competitively. It features a variety of fighters which compete in no holds barred brawls across Rome. With up to 12 competitors fighting all at once and an impressive physics engine this game is well worth the cash/blue coins. Although the controls due take some getting used to, with mod tools slated for July, this game will be a valued part of anybodys collection for quite some time.

I spotted this game a few weeks ago on MODDB, and was expecting some offers to get it.

As soon as I saw it at 5.99 on GamersGate i acted on impulse and bought it.

After having played it i wish i had bought it first!

I like it very much but, first i must premise that people expecting from this game 3-meter jumps, fireballs, super moves, or super hero combos,

common to most of the fighting titles you're used to will be disappointed.

This game is very reminiscent of more technical titles that point to a realistic fighting like UFC or fight night, instead of (e.g.) tekken or street fighter.

And for this reason is, for my taste, much more fun and competitive.

You have to sweat for every hit you get, you cannot simply blindly attack pressing the same button like in many overrated fighting games,

here you carefully take the right time then you must do the right combo to survive.

Victories are hard to get even at medium level of difficulty and gives true satisfaction.

Also there are features that gives to the game also a strong tactical component,

like, being in a fight against many people, flee ( and let opponents weak each other ) running in huge maps,

or taking objects scattered around for having a boost in attack power.

is a great fighting game, and most important,

it is a great indie game.

this is overall the best Fighting game i've played.

First of all because, instead of boring the player down (and it would be much more 'easy to do) with boring 1 vs 1 fights,

they use a much more risky but courageous approach to let the player fight in a brawl against up to 8 opponents!

The combos are less in number than sacred cows of the fighting game,

do not expect to have one hundred moves per fighter,

but if we combine the fact that you are in a brawl and the chance to take weapons of various kinds ( baseball sticks and even tables! ),

the 20 moves per fighter already provide a lot of fun.

One last praise I have do to to ragdoll system:

Ragdoll physics of this game is incredible.

It's even better than big name titles studios That Usually only use it for KO's.

Here ragdolls are costantly mapped on the fighters all the time, you can feel it every time you hit a character, this feeling is incredible and gives a lot the sensation of strikes.

It is true, now key configuration is missing (but the development team has already held that the issue in the next patch), and

in any case, the best way to play it is with a pad ( who plays fighting games with keyboard?? )

but, anyway, at $5.99, this game deserves full marks!

I awaited eagerly for this game, because there aren't many fighting games for the PC. When I saw it here, I bought it.

And I am quite disappointed. The makers of BTR write openly that the game is best played with controllers. Ok. I don't have one, so I used the keyboard.

First minus is the mapping. Keys are set in stone (confirmed by the manual), and you can only switch the whole sets. Not good. But I still wanted to get to the actual play.

And... then it began. Ugh. I mean, if I moved like that, I would consider myself handicapped. The characters possess the grace of a lunatic shaking from overabundant alcohol consumption! Never in my life I have seen such pathetic attempts of faking a fight. I mean - this was reminding me of ancient times of Quake 1 and swinging an axe. They move slowly, even when running. It wasn't just my lack of skill, because others behaved precisely like that. I watched for a couple of rounds while others beat the stuff out of them.

Actually, the whole battle was so painful to watch that I alt-tabbed from the window and killed the game. It doesn't help that when fighting, you're stuck with unresponsive controls (feels like moving in tar), general slowness and a lot of crowd twitching spazmatically around you. I think it was designed to make the overweight people like me feel kinda superior.
