I’ve heard The Insert Credit boys, Thorhighheels and more talk about the joys of cavia’s jank, but this is my first exposure. Beat Down oozes a misplaced gritty style reminiscent of over the top Hong Kong gangster flicks but set in a SoCal type location that looks like a NY type location.
The meat and potatoes here are punches and cusses. Every character, both male and female, spouts tough guy fucks and shits.
The punching is jank. You have 5 different punchers to choose from when starting a new game. Your chosen puncher then punches their way through quests across this small interconnected world of hubs that is Las Sombras.
Campy japanese gang warfare mixed with gritty over the type street warfare violence. Good stuff.
The actual 1v1 combat is clunky and took me a while to get used to. Certain opponents felt cheap. They wouldnt act at all while i was blocking, but would atart their attack combos the instant i released the button such that their moves would connect before i had a chance to connect with mine.
This is a first impression, and i doubt i will finish it. But there is fun to be had here.

Mad fun. Proximity chat will be the new hot feature across games if it isn’t already
It's still Quake, baby. Runs very well on modern systems. Feels great with a gamepad. Deathmatch servers are still around. Despite me not having finished it yet, the new campaign by MachineGames is very very good.
