Jun 10, 2020It’s got fun characters, great presentation, and a system that has some stumbles but is ultimately a neat idea. And let’s face it, if you’ve ever been in a city, bodyslamming people who won’t stop taking up the whole damn sidewalk feels like an appropriate response.

May 7, 2020I may not have personally enjoyed the writing much, but it’s not inherently bad--it’s just not my sense of humor. There may be sticking points and frustrations in terms of the gameplay, but the core of the battle system is solid. Perhaps being episodic will work to Nuchallenger’s advantages, so they can take what they’ve learned from this first episode and make a truly great second one.

May 1, 2020Treachery in Beatdown City does an admirable job of injecting originality into the beat ‘em up genre. While it lacks the forward momentum found in games like Final Fight and Streets of Rage, the brawler more than makes up for that with its emphasis on strategy. The 8-bit graphics, music, and sound effects are simultaneously old-school and modern. If you’re looking for a fresh, quirky beat ‘em up with a healthy dose of social commentary, Treachery in Beatdown City is a game you should pick up.
