History
Treachery in Beatdown City is a game about a ridiculous vision of a dystopian future, that went from being a passion side project while working AAA development jobs to being kickstarter funded. Years later, it is close to launch under similarly bleak and dour times. The years of development have helped the design and humor in Treachery in Beatdown City to grow, and create a dark comedy game intent on punching up at the forces of evil!
Features
- Choose from dozens of attacks to create long chains of strike combos, grapple combos, grappl-ombos and more!
- Switch between 3 fighters - an MMA fighter and Boxer, a Jeet Kune Do/Capoeira specialist, and a professional wrestler.
- Use a mix of real time and tactical COMBO MENU based attacks to tackle your foes!

- Music by Inverse Phase, creator of such albums as Pretty Eight Machine and the Chipping of Isaac
