Download the base game to start building your collection. This is the latest Ikemen version and includes 708 character slots. In this build, you’ll find FutaLB Yoko, Supergirl, and Wonder Woman, along with two stages. Please read the guides to learn how to use them and how to add more characters and stages.
You can modify the resolution in the game options. The default is 1280x720
If you have a monitor with 75Hz or higher, go to save/config.json and modify the "Framerate" option to match your monitor’s refresh rate. Your game will look much smoother, although UI elements will run at twice the speed. Honestly, it’s not a big deal in exchange for smoother in-game animations.
Keep in mind that stage select display only works with manually added compatibility.
Even though this game is often referred to as "MUGEN," it's important to note that MUGEN itself has not received updates since 2013. Ikemen, on the other hand, is an actively maintained and open-source alternative to MUGEN. Developers are actively working on it to add new features and address long-standing issues present in MUGEN. Here's a list of some of the known differences between the two:
High Framerate Support: Ikemen supports higher frame rates, which results in smoother gameplay.
Better Performance: Ikemen is optimized for better performance compared to MUGEN.
Improved Coding Logic: Ikemen incorporates improved coding logic, making it more efficient and stable.
Bug Fixes: Many bugs and issues present in MUGEN have been fixed in Ikemen. These include problems related to character order, palette, difficulty settings, and more.
Stage Elements: Ikemen introduces stage elements, such as breakable objects or damage zones.
These are just a few of the differences, there are even more features and improvements in Ikemen.
