The TakeOver

About

The TakeOver is a side-scrolling brawler with roots in 90s arcade action. Play alone or team up locally to punch, kick, and weapon-swing your way through waves of foes. A combo system lets you chain moves to keep enemies staggered mid-fight. Stun foes with grapples, juggle them in the air, or grab environmental weapons like pipes and guns. Each fighter has a distinct sidearm but bullets are limited so conserve fire. The levels pack tight layouts and optional secrets to keep things fresh. This one nails the chaotic energy of classic beat 'em ups while adding its own twists. The soundtrack features tracks from retro game composer Yuzo Koshiro and others that pump up the action without overwhelming it. Community chatter online calls the co-op "a blast with friends" and the difficulty curve "tough but fair." Developer Pelikan13 clearly studied the genre’s best, the fight feels responsive and the stages crackle with retro flair. A straightforward punchier alternative to modern brawlers.

Storyline

The gameplay is designed around a new combo system that allows you to link together punches and kicks. Quickly put enemies in to the ground, keep them stunned or launch them in to the air and continue to juggle! Maintaining a combo will fill your Super meter faster and allow you to unleash a devastating attack. You can also find and use weapons such as crowbars, swords and machine guns scattered around the levels. Last but not least, each character is equipped with a unique sidearm but ammunition is scarce so use it wisely! The game is easy to get in to but not easy to master.
