What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“BAYANI has been through lots of iteration, development started 2016 and has been demoed on different events where the game is played by beginners, casuals and pro fighting game enthusiast. All the important and precious feedbacks collected over the years molded the game as to what it is today – a game worthy to be called a “fighting game” enjoyed by casual and professional players alike. But we are far along from being done as we need more months to develop the characters, game balance, new features and overall game polish.

BAYANI is the first commercial fighting game developed in the Philippines, our team is small but we are serious on our goal to deliver a fighting game experience that is worth playing. With early access, we can get more players involved in the development to help us fine tune, balance and be with us as we move along in developing more features of the game. We are eager to work with the community – join us and let’s make BAYANI even more awesome!”

“An indie fighting game built around Philippine history with the backing of Filipino Champ.”
