Quote: "Crisis Heart Brawlers: Clash at Otakon is a classic arcade style side scrolling beat ‘em up in the vein of games like River City Ransom, Double Dragon, Castle Crashers, and the TMNT Arcade game. Easy to learn and fun to play, CHB is chock-full of popular anime themes and internet memes. Gameplay features the classic arcade action of our favorite brawlers mixed with elements of modern two-player fighting games, all the while including the hilarious and nostalgic moments that we’ve all experienced at cons and watching our favorite anime."
Quote: "Players fight their way through six stages, earning new abilities, picking up weapons and power-ups, and overcoming mid and stage bosses until they reach a final, climactic end-boss battle. You can play single player mode with the ability to swap in or “tag” a selected helper in a similar fashion to the Marvel vs. Capcom series, or multi-player mode where two to four players can team up or fight each other. Team attacks are available in all modes."
I've backed the project. There's only a week left at this time of writing. I'm a fan of the MegaTokyo web comic so this'll be neat. Here's a comment from the project's creator related to this:
Quote: "Fred is actually doing some of the writing, and there will be more of a Megatokyo presence than just Ping. =)
If this does well, there could be a Megatokyo game down the road."
It doesn't really look like the project will get funded all the way, but I hope it does. I only
just found out about it. I figured I'd try to spread the word.
