AGO Games has announced the release of its side-scrolling, old-school fighter: The Asskickers. In the same vein as classics like Double Dragon and Final Fight, The Asskickers features co-op and single player modes and is available now on both Windows and Mac PCs.
“The Asskickers offers a radical experience that only indie gaming can offer. As our first game, we wanted to create a wild retro-modern ride from the penny arcades of innocence to the corporate towers of greed,” said Stanislas Berton, president of AGO Games. “The Asskickers delivers a solid no-frills, hardcore, butt-kicking, beat’em-up video game experience similar to what people would find at a 1980s version of a penny arcade but with a modern aesthetic. The Asskickers allows people enact a revenge fantasy on all the people and corporations who continue to bring countries to the very edge of financial ruin and get away with it! Now, it’s virtual payback time! Let’s kick some ass.”
