Mugen Eternal Champions May 2026

Playing MUGEN: Eternal Champions is an act of archaeological preservation. It is the game Sega wanted to make but couldn't. It is violent, unbalanced in the best way, ridiculously hard, and absolutely dripping with 90s edgelord atmosphere.

Enter : the limitless 2D fighting game engine.
