Our take on The Asskickers-Steam Edition
The game replaces the genre’s usual street-crime framing with satire aimed at political and financial elites. Its urban brawling structure remains familiar, but the targets and comic presentation depart from a conventional arcade beat ’em up.
What is The Asskickers-Steam Edition?
The Asskickers is a satirical 2D arcade beat ’em up set in modern urban environments.
Alex, Diane, and Marcus are wrongly accused and confront a corrupt political and financial elite across 18 levels. Players can choose among three characters, chain combos, use special attacks, and perform cooperative attacks with a local partner. The game includes story, time attack, and survival modes.
