Sci-fi setting

An arcade side-scrolling beat 'em up in the vein of Golden Axe, where alien busters fight off an extraterrestrial invasion with special attacks, solo or with friends. It also mixes in shooter-style stages.

Fight'N Rage

Linear, curated structure

A classic side-scrolling beat'em up that recreates the 90s arcade golden age with tight combat, combos and crisp pixel art. It is best enjoyed in local co-op, with a nostalgic retro soundtrack.
