Starting today you can pre-order a copy of the title on the Switch, the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 here. ![]() Stan, there weren’t digital downloads in the ’80s and I’d be inclined to agree with you. Throw hands as the cop of plays by his own rules, Kung Fury, his uber-smart associate, Hackerman, and even popular recording artist (in Germany) David Hasselhoff in this neon tinged side scrolling beat em up! Join gaming leaders live this October 25-26 in San Francisco to examine the next big opportunities within the gaming industry.ĭeveloper Avalanche Studios’s Mad Max feels like an alternate universe version of Fury Road.Who doesn’t get tired of punching Nazis? Well Kung Fury: Street Rage Ultimate Edition will allow you to press your fists to the faces of some National Socialists starting today! The Ultimate Edition bundles the base title, the expansions THE ARCADE STRIKES BACK and A DAY AT THE BEACH all together in one package. The Max Rockatansky you play as looks nothing like actor Tom Hardy (or even the previous Max, Mel Gibson), and Imperator Furiosa is nowhere to be found. ![]() But it still takes place in the same world. In the beginning, Max loses his car to a warlord named Scabrous Scrotus who, according to his in-game bio, is one of the many sons of the terrifying Immortan Joe from Fury Road. Scrotus leads his own army of powder-covered War Boys, but unlike Joe’s men, these guys don’t have an obsession with Valhalla and all things shiny and chrome. It’ll depend on how much you like tinkering with cars - the story focuses on building Max’s new set of wheels. You’ll spend a lot of time exploring the postapocalyptic wasteland to find car parts that’ll make your Magnum Opus vehicle strong enough to withstand the hordes of Scrotus. The car combat isn’t as epic or exciting as the big chase sequences from Fury Road (that might change I haven’t finished it yet), but driving around is unnerving because War Boys can show up and attack at any time. (For a different take, you can read GamesBeat writer Aleksander Gilyadov’s full review.) Mad Max is at its best when you’re getting to know the strange, dangerous, and sometimes friendly people living in the wasteland, which is something the film could only hint at. Kung Fury wasn’t in theaters, but the viral YouTube film (and its short companion game) are too funny not to mention here. Kung Fury: Street Rage (for PlayStation 4, PC, iOS, and Android) takes the ridiculous premise - a warrior cop from the ’80s goes back in time to kill Hitler, the self-proclaimed kung fu master Kung Führer - and boils it down to a two-button beat-’em-up. You fight wave after wave of Nazi soldiers and robots while Triceracop, Hackerman, and Fury’s other friends cheer him on from the sidewalk. ![]() Street Rage isn’t as crazy and over-the-top as the movie, but it does a fantastic job of channeling another ’80s staple: arcade games. Independent Swedish developer Hello There made it look as if you’re playing on a dimly lit CRT monitor. While the game sounds simple, it requires a bit of strategy. You can’t just mash buttons to get a high score. Some enemies die in one punch, but others are stronger and have distinct fighting patterns you have to exploit.
