Tackle the comical campaign with up to 4 players, unlock skins and new characters, fight against your friends, or try to survive an endless horde mode!

CAMPAIGN

When the legendary Erasir was defeated, the world became overrun by contracts and other corporate minions, binding thousands to their legal demise. It’s up to Leadhead and his crew to traverse different regions and defeat the bosses that rule them in order to avenge their master and bring an end to the contract calamity!

Penn - Ink it up with this vengeful city native who will stop at nothing to return his hometown to its former glory.
Mark - This clumsy combatant always has a white flag in hand… just don’t expect him to surrender.
Pomp - A pretentious paintbrush who treats every attack as a photo opportunity. Pompadours will never NOT be in style.

Fun little beat em up if a bit difficult. Decent variety of attacks, good art style. If you like beat 'em ups you'll probably get some enjoyment out of this one.

Pretty cool game; haven't played it a ton yet, but so far it has felt really smooth and looks great: has a really cool artstyle with the mix of 2d / 3d environments / retro effects.

A lackluster game with a lot of fundamental gamedesign problems, which is ironic considering how hard this title goes for a "classic arcade" look, without understanding what makes arcade style games work. Probably the most bizzare inclusion here is combo counter, which is the main way you gain score in this game. The combo counter, as well as score, is completely worthless as far as I can tell. Raking up high numbers on the combo counter doesn't provide any benefits aside from increasing the score, but the game doesn't even aknowledges your score throughout the levels or on the ending screen. Also with how broken combat is, it is possible to keep raking up combo indefinetly with by repeatedly attacking enemies in the air. You are also able to get combo off of beating invulnurable enemies that are in recovery animation, which doesn't contribute to interesting gameplay and seems like a bug. Overall it all not only makes the scoring not matter, but also ruins the only objective determine...

Absolutely phenomenal game with super fun action and a great storyline. Super simple controls that allow you to mix and match attack combos and create super fun fights. I always enjoy hopping on to knock out some paper bois

Fantastically charming and enjoyable Beat em up. Great music and combat are going to keep me coming back to this game for a good long time. Each of the 4 characters play similar enough that jumping between them wont be too much on an issue, but they are all also unique enough that spending time with a single one will help you learn more of their unique feeling in a fight.

Not sure what it was, but I just found this game too insufferably boring to last playing more than one level. Don't worry about this review, I don't want to colour your impression of the game... I'm just moaning.
