Franko: The Crazy Revenge

About

Franko: The Crazy Revenge is a side-scrolling brawler that throws you into the streets of Szczecin to take down the Klock gang. Choose between two playable characters, Franko or the supposedly dead Alex, and punch, kick, and headbutt through waves of enemies. The screen shifts left or right as you progress, letting you dodge and attack in real time. Between levels you drive a Fiat 126P, swerving to avoid colliding with civilians while advancing through the city. Combat feels raw and direct with simple controls, focusing on chaining hits and avoiding increasingly aggressive foes. The game stands out for its chaotic 80s subculture vibes. You’ll fight punks, skinheads, metalheads in white sneakers, and even riot police, each with distinct moves and taunts. The Polish setting adds a quirky touch, from the "babies" car nickname to the oddly specific character designs. While the story leans into over-the-top gang revenge tropes, the fast pace and retro aesthetic have earned it a cult following among old-school brawler fans. Simple, brutal, and packed with personality.
