More Indies Killing it with Old-School Revivals - Punch Club 2: Fast...
We're loving this continual run of old-school styled games. Be they homages to games past with fresh ideas and modern sensibilities, or revivals of older franchsies either by new teams, or the OG studios keen on taking back on the world. Or sequels to earlier Indies that helped with the old-school revival at all, as is the case with Punch Club, a fan-favourite released back in 2016 which is now getting a sequel.
It’s been 20 long years since a nameless cool guy punched the big bad and everyone was really happy or something. Welcome to the future: it’s corrupt, sea shells have replaced toilet rolls, and everything's cyberpunk now. Walk the same, but now neon, streets Roy did as you're thrown into an adventure filled with hilarity, 80’s nostalgia, and punching. Even more punching than before. The mean streets of the under-city are a disease, but you could be the cure. Fighting is the only way to blow off steam and earn valuable good person points, which you’re going to need, kid.You can sign me up for the two Futurama references alone in the trailer above, but hilarious management sims that are also basically RPGs like this are just a glorious, glorious subgenre. You can learn more about the game directly here. |
