How it feels

A fast-paced side-scrolling beat 'em up with retro comic book aesthetics, focusing on fluid combat and a hand-drawn visual style.

What players say

Players praise the gorgeous comic-book art style and fan-service for fans of the classic hero, but many report bugs, soft locks, and animation glitches at launch. Opinions split on the gameplay: some find it satisfying and punchy, while others say the character is too slow, controls feel clunky, and the game lags behind modern brawlers like Streets of Rage 4.
