Raging Justice is an retro-style brawler from Killer Instinct vets coming to PC and consoles

A new beat ‘em up is in the works from MakinGames, a development studio made up of Killer Instinct vets.

Raging Justice is a new beat ‘em up game in development at independent studio MakinGames, which is comprised of Rare studio veterans.

It has a rather nostalgic, nineties-arcade vibe complete with 8bit sounds – only you won’t need to feed quarters into a machine to play it.

Raging Justice tasks players will brawling hordes of thugs, and at the end, you will need to decide whether to arrest or annihilate the ne’er-do-wells in a good cop/bad cop scenario. We vote for annihilation, but that’s just us.

Either way you choose to go about it, choices will have consequences resulting in a different ending to the game. Yeah, we still vote for annihilation.

Here’s a list of features:

Arrest warrants – You have the option to either obliterate your foes or play the rules and arrest them. Being a good cop has its benefits it’s a healthier lifestyle which means…well, more health but in the heat of a brawl, violence can sometimes be the answer. You get more points playing bad cop but it’s a dog eat dog world so watch out that your mate doesn’t swipe the loot before you do.
Combat – Kick, punch and stomp your way through levels of 2D carnage with Rick and Nikki’s distinctive fighting styles.
Unique art style – Raging Justice has a distinctive art style reminiscent of classic arcade favorites brought to life with high definition 3D renders.
Vehicles – Mow down your foes on four wheels by jumping aboard lawnmowers and tractors. Vehicles will make you untouchable but if their health hits zero be prepared for an explosive exit.
Weapons – Gear up with a variety of weapons. Smash your way through a bar fight with a stool, hit a home run with a baseball bat or ruffle your foes feathers with a deadly pigeon.
Leaderboard – Fight for the top spot on the global leaderboards. As the tension rises so can your score, use precision, timing and a tactical mind to secure your place among the best.
Co-op multiplayer – Don’t battle through the streets alone, enlist a friend to help you in some multiplayer madness.
