At its heart, Pure Onyx is a side-scrolling beat-’em-up. The controls are deceptively simple but offer a surprising amount of depth as you progress. You control Onyx, a formidable protagonist navigating a dystopian cityscape. The combat loop revolves around light attacks, heavy attacks, grabs, and dodges.

Compared to earlier builds, v01090 feels significantly tighter. Hit detection, which is the death knell of many indie brawlers, has been refined. You can feel the impact of punches and kicks, and the "juggling" mechanics—keeping enemies in the air with combo strings—are satisfyingly crunchy. The move set is expansive enough to keep combat from becoming repetitive, assuming you take the time to learn the inputs.

However, it is not without faults. The difficulty spikes can be jarring. While the game offers a fair challenge on normal settings, certain enemy types (specifically those with ranged attacks or unblockable grabs) can feel "cheap," leading to frustrating stunlock scenarios that feel more like oversight than design.
