We have been playing Meow Meow Happy Fight for the past few days and we love it. Essentially ‘Happy Fight’ is the death match simplified and it’s great. Let me start from the beginning, Happy Fight is a top down arena shooter where you and multiple enemies must run about totting up as many frags […]
