What can fans of the original game expect? According to the studio, ”You’re backing a 2.5D open world beat’em up with RPG elements, just like the classic game, for the Windows platform. We’re making River City bigger, adding more stores, items, and bringing the cast and crew into the modern era. You’ll reunite with old friends (and punch them in the face), meet new ones, and play through an epic story in an urban, open world. Yes, the game will feature local co-op play, and online co-op depending on our distribution partners on launch day.”
Conatus refuses to detail what the stretch goals will be, but does hint they’ll include console and mobile ports, expanded multiplayer modes similar to Nekketsu Kakutou Densetsu, in-game cameos, and ”guest contributions from amazing talents in the retro and indie gaming community.”
The developer has a $180,000 CAD goal, which will end on the 9th October.
