Our take on Tonight We Riot
Rather than centering the usual brawler on one fighter, the game treats the crowd as the protagonist. The revolution's progress is tied to the movement's collective well-being, replacing the standard lone-hero structure with a group-focused premise.
What is Tonight We Riot?
This retro-styled brawler takes place under a political order where affluent capitalists dominate voting, news, and working people’s lives.
Rather than centering on one protagonist, it casts players as a collective whose condition determines whether the revolution succeeds. The game offers local co-op, 20 weapons, equipment pieces, and perks to unlock, along with an Endless Mode. Its battles feature a dog, kaiju, a wood chipper, comic oddities, and horror-synth music. Each confrontation pits the movement against wealthy oppressors, including billionaire ghouls.
