Okinawa Rush, a fast-paced brawler that was initially funded on Kickstarter, is gearing up for a Switch eShop release on 28th October (priced at $19.99USD). As you can see in the trailer it offers retro-styled mayhem, and there's a demo out now on the eShop if you want to give it a whirl.

It's going for Amiga-styled visuals, which is a little different to what a lot of pixel-based games target, and certainly looks like it could be fun. There's support for local co-op and three different playable fighters.

Okinawa Rush is about intense, skillful gameplay. It is also intuitive enough for someone completely new to games to be able to pick up and immediately get into the action.

Take on the role of the martial arts master Hiro, Meilin, or Shin as they face off in a desperate fight for their lives against the Black Mantis clan.

DOUBLE THE MAYHEM: Bring a friend and battle against ninjas, demons, and more in the 2-player local co-op mode of this action-adventure platformer set in a mystical, fantasy version of Okinawa.

The fast, fluid combat system, courtesy of the custom engine, brings with it many moves, combos, juggles, and an intuitive parrying system - easy to learn, hard to master.

Is this on your radar for late October?
