I think it is both over engineered and too simplistic at the same time.
OTOH … that could make for an awesome display piece / demo game at a convention.
Or it could be a drinking game …

The Pit Fighter game does have more content and it has a more consistent look & feel (and is practically begging for lights and other electronic wizardry ;))
Lack of a 3D printer makes that not an option, but if you do then you do get to create your own unique boardgame.
Without the physical game it kind of lacks the oomph it needs to be fun, which kind of shows that graphics/components do (help) sell games.

Meanwhile ‘Knockdown’ … feels like it is too expensive for what it tries to deliver.
Fighting games thrive on having a ton of fighters to pick and chose from.
2 is a bit too basic. The lack of overall theme for that game

Watching @laughingboy play GW’s “Gorechosen” on his twitch-channel reminded me that GW sort of tried to make a similar game already.

(side note : I wonder what other games are ‘public domain’ enough to allow you to create your own ‘deluxe/limited edition’ with the help of a 3D printer and a bit of artistic license )
