Hero Concept has announced Mayhem Brawler for Nintendo Switch, an 'urban fantasy-themed' beat 'em up that's hoping to play on your '90s arcade nostalgia.
The title boasts comic book-style art and a punchy rock soundtrack, accompanying your gameplay whether you're taking on the fight alone or with friends in co-op. The choices you make in-game have an impact on its story, with three different endings available in total.
Here's a quick tease of that story, as well as a handy feature list:
While answering a routine call on a patrol, Dolphin, Star, and Trouble -the most popular officers of the super-powered law enforcement agency, Stronghold- find themselves in a sequence of events that will alter the fate of the entire city.
GAME FEATURES
A fresh take on classic 90s-style beat 'em ups
Offline co-op mode that supports up to 3 players
Ability to alter the game flow with player-led decisions
3 unique endings based on player’s choices
Unique combat mechanics
3 playable characters against 30 mobs including 12 unique bosses
Hand-drawn comic book inspired art, frame-by-frame animated characters and a rocking soundtrack
Your admission ticket to the limitless universe of Mayhem
The game will launch on Switch next year, although no specific date has been announced just yet. Here's hoping we don't have to wait too long before we can check it out.

Looks like Streets of Rage with less lighting effects.
Looks like Streets of Rage 4's art direction with stiffer animations. Character design seems bland too.
Yeap looks like streets of rage clone
But character's look bland to me.
Have to wait and see if it gets better or not.
I saw the words 'fantasy' and 'beat em up' and for a second thought this was going to be like a 90s D&D style beat em up. I'd be up for a new game in that kind of fantasy setting but think I'm good for cleaning up the grimey city street with my fists right now.
Yup...definitely got the new SoR vibe to it.
Round of applause you've copied SOR4 art style. Jesus.
Hmm, yeah I’ll stick with Streets of Rage 4 thanks!
Looks ok, but yeah characters are kinda bland. Need online play too.
I like the premise and the art. SoR doesn't own comic book style after all. Hope it turns out good.
Ouch you guys are harsh. I mean, you're not wrong... but harsh.
Like everyone said, I thought i was looking at an update or DLC for Streets of Rage 4.... hard pass
Comic book style and inspirations looks more interesting than SOR to me atleast.
@The_Pixel_King Why not both? As long as they play well, I'll take all the beat 'em ups I can get.
Well, this looks awesome.
