Hero Concept, the indie outfit behind theDoughlingsseries, has revealed that it is hard at work on a brand new side-scrolling beat ’em up.Mayhem Brawleris currently in development for PS4, PC, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch and is expected to launch sometime in 2021.
Set in a dystopian “urban fantasy,”Mayhem Brawlerwill follow the exploits of Stronghold law enforcement agents Star, Dolphin, and Trouble as they take to the streets in a fist-throwing fight against a sinister megacorp and its army of super-powered minions. The heroic trio will face off against, thugs, werewolves, wizards, and vampires in a knock-down, drag-out battle with the fate of the city’s freedom at stake. WIZARDS.
From the short trailer below, we can quickly ascertain that the title is clearly inspired by DotEmu’s fantastic sequelStreets of Rage 4, and will similarly feature multiple characters, three-player co-op, and painstakingly hand-drawn art and animation.Mayhem Brawlerwill also feature 12 unique boss characters, comic-style presentation, and even multiple endings. It’s no secret that I’m personally a huge fan of this genre, and there’s always room for another great, modern-day brawler.
Mayhem Brawlerwill launch on PS4, PC, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch in 2021.
