Ryan
The older brother. Fast hands, short fuse, never backs down.
The Game
Side-scrolling brawler
An HD beat 'em up for 1 or 2 players. Walk through the city, take on the gangs blocking the way, reach the boss: the rules are the arcade classics, the way you fight is today’s.
The story
Those who don't pay, close
In Ryan and Dean Cole's city, a criminal Association has split the streets between its gangs. Every shop pays. Those who don't pay wake up to broken windows and a contract on the counter, already signed.
The brothers have had enough. Fist by fist, district by district, they take the city back. And the deeper they go, the more familiar the faces under the gang colours look. Behind every gang, someone pulls the strings. Nobody knows his name.
EVERYONE PAYS… NO ONE COLLECTS.
The story is told between stages through wordless animated cutscenes: no text to translate, just the next clue.
The Cole brothers
Two brothers, one fist
Dean
Player 2. Same fists, same thick head, and he'll never let Ryan win the score.
Against them thugs, fighters, bikers and bosses with moves of their own, not copies of the others.
Seven bosses
Each with a Rage Mode
Push a boss far enough and the fight changes: Rage Mode brings new moves, new speed and no mercy.
Take back the city
Seven stages, one road
Between stages the city map shows the road ahead: one way through, district after district, with the gangs' crests on every zone.
