Arm Joe is a 2D one-on-one fighting dōjin game based on the “Les Misérables” musical. It was made by Takase using 2D Fighter Maker.
There are ten characters to choose from, using the formula Street Fighter 2 established. Characters are mostly characters from “Les Misérables” musical. Each character has special moves inspired by that character’s role in the story.
There’s a special condition where characters are about to die (their health draining away) in which they are much more powerful and have infinite special power: the opponent has to avoid those special attacks until that character dies. This sometimes gives the advantage to players who reach low life first.
There is also a practice mode, where the player can learn how to perform the special moves of each character.
