Our take on Bully Beatdown
The story frames the protagonist's retaliation as a risk of becoming a bully, but the combat pitch emphasizes exaggerated attacks such as belly bumps and farting at enemies. That contrast makes the game's moral premise less straightforward than its revenge setup suggests.
What is Bully Beatdown?
Play as a student targeted by bullies and fight back with punches, kicks, stomps, belly bumps, bowling attacks, and other slapstick moves.
The story follows the student as friends encourage him to ask a classmate to prom; while confronting bullies, he discovers that he has become one himself. The game presents its story through comic-book-style cutscenes and includes 9 unique levels, 8 bosses, more than 60 characters, and over 100 breakable objects. Four difficulty settings and a progressive skill system shape the beat-'em-up structure. Other listed features include 5 original songs, Steam achievements, and Steam leaderboards.
