About the Game

Prepare to take the streets back as three unlikely yet incredible heroes in this hybrid tactical beat-em-up where you’ll go up against not only the corrupt system, but fight off hordes of fascist cops, disorderly thugs, preppy cyclists, entitles joggers, affluent punks, ninjas, terrorists; and even ninja terrorists.



After the President Blake Orama is kidnapped by ninja terrorists and Mayor Mike Moneybags shuts down the police force, now-suspended police chief Antonio Santiago can sense something bigger is coming. He enlists the aid of his daughter Lisa and her two friends; Brad and Bruce, to set out to discover not only the truth; but also to find the root of the treachery in Beatdown City.



Will they save the president? You have to play to find out!

FEATURES:

  • Switch between 3 completely unique fighters - Lisa, an MMA fighter and Boxer, Bruce, a Jeet Kune Do/Capoeira specialist, and Brad, a former professional wrestler.
  • Choose from dozens of attacks to create strike combos, grapple combos, and strike and grapple-ombos!
  • Use a mix of real time and COMBO MENU based attacks to tackle your foes!
  • Inflict a huge number of Status Effects such as Stun, Burn and Bleed; and give yourself awesome buffs to turn the tide in your favor!
  • Fight against class based enemies, each with their own unique attack styles, behavior patterns and looks!
  • Nod your head to a timeless score by Inverse Phase, creator of such albums as Pretty Eight Machine and the Chipping of Isaac
