MTX Developer Overview Breaks Down Muay Thai Combat, Fighter Creation, and Tournament Plans
Take a closer look at *MTX*, the Muay Thai fighting game from Thailand's SQUADX. This developer overview covers the combat system, from managing range and stamina to landing combos, working the clinch, and catching kicks.
See how armor, counters, and Decisive Moves affect a fight, then get an introduction to fighter creation, Ultimate Fight career mode, and Tactical Styles. The team also shares its plans for playtests, tournaments and future content.
The overview walks through the full system: strikes tied to stamina and combo timing, clinches, kick catches and recovery, then armor, blocking and counters, before detailing Decisive Moves—finishing blows unlocked by reading the fight and building pressure rather than activated at will. It also covers building your fighter from scratch, the Ultimate Fight career mode, and the Tactical Styles rooted in regional Muay Thai schools like Muay Chaiya, Muay Korat, Muay Lopburi, and Muay Tha Sao, each with distinct strengths and game plans, plus mastery and perk progression.
The team's plans include a Global Playtest following the gamescom asia x Thailand Game Show 2026 showing, the MTX STRYK creator tournament—whose finals took place at the Bangkok event with a $5,000 prize pool—and future content additions such as new Tactical Styles, arenas, and events on the road to full launch, currently targeted for early 2027 on PC via Steam. A Pre-Season: No Surrender period will offer seasonal challenges and exclusive cosmetics that won't return after launch.
