Gekido

About

Gekido throws you into street brawls with slick visuals and a roster of fighters to choose from. Single player or co-op modes let you punch through waves of enemies and take down bosses in a mix of close combat and timed attacks. Each character has distinct moves and abilities, with stages packed with destructible objects and environmental hazards. The soundtrack blends electronic beats with intense action, creating a rhythm that matches the game’s frenetic pace. Developed by Gremlin Interactive and released in 2000, Gekido stands out for its co-op focus and collaborative design. The PlayStation version supports split-screen multiplayer, making it a favorite for local showdowns. Though not a household name, its blend of arcade-style brawling and cooperative play earned a niche following. With roots in comic book art and a soundtrack featuring Fatboy Slim, it leans into 2000s edginess while keeping the gameplay straightforward and punchy.
