Any good upgrade fighting games? (sh.itjust.works)

Looking for basically any game where the focus is less on the fighting itself but the upgrades to do it. Even better if all of the upgrades just keep stacking.

Open to many genres

Looking for those as well, only thing I found was BB:EE, Ultra Age's roguelite mode, Nioh 2, and the upcoming Morbid Metal. To some extent, Godfall, Kingdoms of Amalur and Wayfinder.

I want a grinding game where you get exciting loot, with combat like DmC to master. Those basically don't exist, so you have to settle for better combat with some loot upgrsdes, or deep rng loot chase with more basic combat. Roguelite games with deeper combat is probably where most of those games will live.

That said, Nioh 2 is really the best of both worlds in late game (Diablo look with the best "grounded" combat ever, just harder than Souls games for your first 30 hours).

Kingdoms of Amalur has awesome combat and plenty of upgrade paths to experiment with

"Harder than souls games"

That sounds really challenging

No joke, I had to install a cheat just to get used to the game because I got my ass handed to me by every single enemy right from the start. At some point it just clicked and I understood how to play, so I started over and did fine, and now I'm a flashy melee god lol

Souls games kind of give you some time to get atuned with how to play and what enemies to run from, so taking your time at first will do it. In Nioh 2, maybe because I had not yet mastered the first game, it started with mid-game souls enemies.

The combat is also much deeper, and ki-pulsing makes it a nice dance, giving you a nice flow state like no other fighting game in my experience.
