No Exit is a side-view martial arts beat 'em up, similar in style to IK+. Each fight must be won within a time limit. You can specify your character's ability quite precisely, trading off Vivacity against Efficiency and Resistance against Strength. Your character has a special destructive mode, which can be accessed 3 times. This turns the character into a monster (corresponding to the opponent you are fighting against) and increases the level of damage you can inflict.
