People still love SNK's Neo Geo system after all these years. The arcade and home hardware produced games with a memorable and unique look. Nalua Studio is keeping the dream alive, then, by launching Vengeance Hunters on both Neo Geo hardware and modern systems. This all-new beat 'em up definitely looks the part, and it supports 2-player local co-op as well.
Official description:
Vengeance Hunters is not just any other 90’s era beat ’em up! It’s a game that was developed to play on the legendary Neo-Geo MVS arcade and AES home console hardware but was designed for a newer era of beat ’em up action enthusiasts. Please enjoy fighting a vast array of enemies across multiple stages, sublevels and hidden areas while searching for collectibles and other items that will help you along the way!
Vengeance Hunters allows players to be expressive with their playing style. We have created a combat system that allows both novice/younger players to have fun spamming a couple of buttons randomly and still get cool things to happen while also simultaneously including a lot of choice and depth for the specialists among you who really like to dig into mechanics.
Each character has common inputs and combo strings that are very generously timed to allow for anybody to pick a character up and play immediately. However, each character can play wildly different due to the inclusion of their unique Signature moves. Signature moves allows you to become a grappling and throwing specialist, an evasive cartwheeling aerial combat technician or a ranged missile firing combo monster.
The game also features three playable characters, a branching story that varies by difficulty level, and music from a composer called Pentadrangle.
Vengeance Hunters sells for $19.99 on Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, and Steam. We'll try to check it out soon!
