The Beat-Em-Up genre used to be a tentpole of the video game medium back in the days were arcades reigned supreme. Nowadays they show up once in a blue moon, so fans of the genre really have to take what they can get.

Luckily, we can rejoice about developer WayForward's new title, because it looks like an incredible homage to this dead genre. In fact, it directly continues the long-running acclaimed Japanese franchise, Kunio-Kun.

It mixes the old-school flavour of a wicked retro Double Dragon homage, with sly tongue-in-cheek humour and slick modern controls and combos.
