Old-school beat-em-up Fight’N Rage is back, and heading to Xbox Series S|X and PlayStation 5 with upgraded 120FPS graphics.
Supporting 1-3 players with local co-op option, the game was developed by one-man studio SebaGamesDev in partnership with composer Gonzalo Varela, and released on Nintendo Switch in 2019. It’s clearly inspired by classic 1990s “golden age” fighing games like Streets of Rage, Cadillacs and Dinosaurs, and Final Fight, and has a bunch of combat options, player modes, and unlockables.
Here’s the background:
In a far future, Earth was devastated by mutants who took control after a worldwide catastrophic event known as “the big pulse”, a global scale electromagnetic pulse that put an end to all electronic technology on the planet. Humans are now enslaved by mutants led by “The Boss” in a world ruled by “the law of the jungle”. However, not everything is lost… two humans and a mutant rebel are willing to fight in order to stop this madness. Will they be strong enough? Well… that’s up to you!
