About the Game


KAPITAL PUNISHMENT 22XX is a beat-em up, action platformer that features fast-paced, bloody combat with a retro aesthetic. Ruthless enemies hunt you through gritty prisons, hopeless company towns, and opulent sky-cities as you assemble a team of comrades to take down KAPITAL.


Get ready to bash some fash!


In the year 22XX, HOPE IS DEAD. A vile conglomerate of oligarchs lord over the fractured territories of the Americas from a floating fortress-city known as KAPITAL. This de facto cartel-state maintains control over the populace with brutal cyborg thugs known as KAPITAL OPERATIVES (KOPs).


In Story Mode the game’s narrative unfolds as you traverse through hand-crafted levels packed with platforming action. You’ll battle bosses, make friends and enemies, and discover the grim truths of the 23rd century.



In the Roguelike ARCADE MODE you’ll battle hordes of foes in randomized arenas and compete on global leaderboards. Climb fences, mantle ledges, hang from bars, and leap from walls as you outmaneuver KOPs in search of upgrades and allies.
