What they’re known for

Smash Legends: Action Fight is one of 5minlab’s standout releases, known for its lively battles and charming characters, fluent in the universal language of fun. Other titles including Express Thru and Brickscape also share the studio's distinct touch – a crisp design that invites you in for just one more round.

Behind the scenes

Smash Legends: Action Fight’s heroes, also known as Legends, are inspired by fairy tales from around the world. One of the most beloved Legends – a nine-tailed fox named Gumi – was originally a minor novel character who found her spotlight through love and appreciation from the game’s players.

• Several Legends draw inspiration from 5minlab itself. One of them is Master Cat, the sword-brandishing feline modelled after Huey, the office cat and honorary founding team member who calls the studio home.

• A devoted Smash Legends: Action Fight fan once mailed in themed skin designs for Legends Nui, Wolfgang and Hook. The team was so impressed by these that they were included in the Desert Seekers-themed skin event and webtoon.
