"Are we able to replace the sticks with like swords or something?"

"We could, but we can't make launch if we do."

"Alright then, just keep in the sticks."

"Why are you fighting?"

"What?"

"...nothing."

See, this game has depth because with no explanation of why these dudes are fighting it lets the player create their own narrative! I like to think weird bag head guy in the title screen is using a time portal to bring the best fighters through time to the present. The only man who can stop them? Italian Nathan Drake!... And the president's been kidnapped too!

I feel like, if this was called, "The Realest Karate Man", it would sell millions of copies on Steam.

Alright! I want an all FMV Bad Dudes remake, done by this studio. With poorly translated Italian with this guy and a palette swap as P2.

This UI and soundwork is COMPLETELY overintellectual for the subject matter, which may be the point.

What? I don't even.

I loved how the grappling match started all "Roaaar!" and then was all "Ok, I'm going to lay you down now, is that ok? Did it hurt? I tried not to make you fall on your head."

I'm desperately hoping this is some kind of art project than a game that takes itself seriously as a game they expect people to pay money for.

Wtf? I just got a Polident denture cleaner ad before the quicklook. Not objecting to the existence of the ad, just dumbfounded by the denture/video game connection.

Can't imagine I've got any denture related cookies either...

This game's actually in an indie bundle? I'm wondering if game's got $5 worth of laughs... It just might.
