Ikemen GO

Ikemen GO is an open source fighting game engine that supports resources from the M.U.G.E.N engine, written in Google’s programming language, Go. It is a complete rewrite of a prior engine known simply as Ikemen.

Features

Ikemen GO aims for backwards-compatibility on par with M.U.G.E.N version 1.1 Beta, while simultaneously expanding on its features in a variety of ways.

Refer to our wiki to see a comprehensive list of new features that have been added in Ikemen GO.
