Just saw the latest Gamescom trailer and realised nobody has apparently posted what looks like a modern beat’em’up with fancy hand-to-hand combat.

If I understand correctly it uses the concept of an ageing fighter, whom over time becomes more skilled, a bit like one of those Remnant games.

A game that “recreates” the Daredevil hallway combat scene should grab your attention.

 

Epic and PlayStation exclusive atm.

Here's an explanation of the main gameplay mechanics of the game

Damn... this actually looks pretty dope! I used to love brawlers when I was a kid, but this genre sort of died out. Double Dragon and Streets of Rage was the shit, yo!

Genre never really lend itself to 3D very well, until Yakuza came out.

Will deffo be keeping an eye out for this, looks fun af!

Yeah I’m not really into the genre, but I really like the style and the idea behind this. Considering getting it right away actually.

More details on fight system

Have they goddamn moved the release date? Ok should be happy it’s actually coming earlier(?) but thought was coming out by holiday time.

First game in a while I feel like getting at day 1.

I wish animation was just a tad smoother, but I get what kind of game they are doing.

It's out in two days! I haven't pre ordered a game in years, but I did pre order this on Epic games. you get the art book too.

I would hope requirements are not crazy. I really wanted to get it on PS but it’s for PS5 only any chance PS5 exclusives will be made retro compatible?
