About the Game

Welcome to TrueClash!

In TrueClash you take on the role of Ren, a trainer and team manager competing in a tournament for a spot in the grand TrueClash championship — in a world where mixed martial arts rule.

In this parallel world, you'll make friends, influence the characters you meet, make decisions that genuinely change how the story unfolds and, of course, fight. By standing next to your fighters. By helping them. In and out of the arena.

An emotional trip

TrueClash is... emotional. It touches themes that reach the very core of who we are. You will be annoyed, happy, angry, sad, delighted and in love. All of these live in the characters you'll meet, in your character — but above all, in you

(Yup... That's an hard one...)

Play as you want — the Dedication System

Even though this is a first-person story, customization exists. Not physical customization — something far more important: who you are.

In TrueClash you can customize your character's background. Maybe you were a doctor, an artist, someone who loves running... or simply a gamer! This influences how characters see you and, more importantly, unlocks exclusive scenes and information you couldn't reach any other way

(and no - you don't get to play as a dog)

Choices that matter

Your choices matter — this story was built around that idea.

Many situations you'll face can be solbed in different ways. Some create small ripples that can be felt here and there. Others? They can lead you to unexpected results

(Who doesn't want to be hugged by a drunken guy ?... Nobody? Ok...)

Characters with depth

Many of the characters were built on psychological personality models — with their own traits, motivations and goals. Forget characters that love you just for showing up. No — they can and will shut you down. They have their own rules. They follow their own soul

(Ahh yes... Doctors - always busy.)

Combat

In a world where mixed martial arts is at the center of everything, fights are expected — not only for your fighters, but for you as well.

In-game, you'll sometimes play a stance-based mini game where each opponent has their own way of thinking and adapting to the fight.

But that's not all — Truesoul exists. Some characters can tap into special powers during fights. And those powers are a gateway to revealing who they truly are
