Our take on 99Vidas
Rather than presenting a solitary action campaign, the game centers a classic beat ’em up structure on a contemporary setting, retro visual language, and four-player co-op that works both locally and online.
What is 99Vidas?
Fight through a contemporary-world brawler presented in 16-bit-style pixel art, with references to video games and 1980s and 1990s pop culture.
The game draws on classic beat ’em ups while adding gameplay mechanics associated with newer releases. Its campaign contains six stages set across different parts of the world. Each stage includes groups of enemies and bosses. Up to four players can take part in co-op, either locally or online, allowing the campaign to be played with three additional participants.
