Mugen is a freeware 2D fighting game engine designed by Elecbyte if you want to make a game, you must first know C language programming. After that you must draw characters to set a fair gameplay otherwise you have a crazy game control that no one understands. Music is also something players like to have because boring no sound game is not fun. SFX is another thing, hearing the sounds of the characters hitting enemys or doing that sweet combo is worth it.
