KAPITAL PUNISHMENT 22XX

Game is abandonned so don't bother.

reminds me of bruce lee on the c64

A revolutionary idea, what if cyberpunk was actual punk instead of corporate fetishism? Lmao. Beat 'em up run'n'gun hybrid with some jrpg teamwork. Loud colors and louder chiptune. A bit spammy but it's fun. Movement, hitboxes, controls are fine. Story mode 1st part done now, plus arcade mode. Looking forward to the rest. Check out the devs prev game Robot named fight!

This game immerses players in a thrilling adventure against an unjust regime. Its opening sequence quickly engages players unlike typical introductions. In what I've played, I've noticed an excellent learning curve, a mesmerizing retro aesthetic, a game pampered to the detail (only 2 developers, really?) and, ultimately, desire to keep playing, which is my goal when starting any video game. Let's go get those kops.

So after sinking my life into A Robot Named Fight across 80+ hours over several years in broken up sessions, i decided to message Matt, the creator and he was like "check out my new game" and sent me this like a true gaming buddy! I'll be honest, ARNF really grabbed me because it expands upon Metroid, so when he asked me to try a wholly new IP and approach, I was a bit hesitant because i want to embrace the creators i respect for all they make and not just be like the industry that says "do that one good thing over and over" but the more i play Kapital Punishment 20XX, the more I like it. Arcade mode is like instant fun and with some cool upgrades, solid combat, cool partner abilities, good music with a nice pace that keeps you going as long as you can. I'd love to see some sort of online multiplayer for this mode, like playing while having a constant matchmaking going so people can just hop in and out of games at will, that would be sick! Story mode is just in its first phase and lemme tell you, 1-7 is tough but i enjoyed the plot, all the different level designs of the different parts of the prisons and the cut scenes as they definitely develop a rough-around-edges-but-unified dialog among the characters and invokes the sort of community effort we need to see more of in the world today. If you ever liked Contra, Mega Man, Rolling Thunder, Lode Runner or any fast 2D brawler/platformer, this game is definitely an expansion of those sorts but with quite a bit more of its own identity and a clear vision on exemplifying solidarity with our many IRL imprisoned friends and family who did nothing but exist in a world getting harder and harder to exist in. It's really powerful stuff with a great script and diverse cast like you'd never see in the era this game harkens back to. Also, the original title Kop Killer 20XX was badass, check this game out, for $5 you're getting a solid NES/Genesis title that feels new in all the right ways without compromising its vision and there's more content to come. Also also, if you have not, please play A Robot Named Fight and whatever else Morningstar comes up with <3

You know when you're watching robocop and you realize everything it predicted happened or had already when it came out? This game is like that, but even more spot on. Kapitalism won. Love the story, love the setting, love the control and action. The player character needs to be much, much more visible. The 'story mode' is really lacking in gameplay, very few upgrades, just the same dude beating everyone up. 'Arcade mode' is very fun but each run is nearly identical, this game needs a lot, a lot more content.

Quite fun, but has a visual clarity problem and is sometimes clunky (crouching and aiming is sometimes a bit clunky and unresponsive on controller)

Damn, so sad to discover that this is yet another abandoned Early Access scam. Especially since it's from the Robot Named Fight dev, which is a very fine game. What a bummer.

need more games with this vision and these kinds of politics tbh

Great game that reminds me of the classic LJN NES games of the past. More particularly, "Wolverine" on the nintendo. Nice challenging game-play with a decent difficulty curve that progressives as you move up. Since the Arcade mode was the only one available, that was the biggest challenge attempting to move up and survive. Arcade mode should be renamed, "Survivor mode" since that is what you are doing attempting to survive the hordes of waves of enemies being thrown your way. Only real complaint is that the controls can sometimes be unresponsive at times, but that could just be with the character needing some additional speed update. Overall, for nostalgic gamers, I'd give this game a try.
