They say that certain things never go out of style, and video games have proven that many times over, not least of which is via certain genres “falling out of style” due to certain advancements, and then game devs bringing them back to let people bask in nostalgia and show just how much the genre still has to offer. For 2D side-scrolling beat’em ups, they’ve been having a refresh in recent years, and Fallen City Studio showed that with its title Fallen City Brawl, which came out on Steam last year. On October 28th, though, through EastAsiaSoft, the game will drop on Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, XBOX One, and XBOX Series X|S! For details on the game, look below:

“As a brutal battle for control of Fallen City’s criminal underworld rages, four strangers join forces to survive and reclaim the streets! With a ferocious wolf at their sides, these unlikely allies will face impossible odds. Only by binding together can they reach the final showdown that will decide who lives and who falls.

Inspired by arcade beat ’em ups of the late ’80s and early ’90s, Fallen City Brawl is told through intense side-scrolling pixel art action. Huge sprites and animated backgrounds breathe life into the dying city streets, while fighting mechanics offer uncommon depth with destructive combos, counters, special moves and “RIOT” supers! Animated cutscenes and a powerful soundtrack by famed composer Daniel Lindholm set the tone for urban mayhem, playable solo or with friends in local co-op!”

This game screams retro in all the best ways, while also ensuring that certain features are rooted in the modern day. Check out some of those features below:
