Rushing Beat X: Return of Brawl Brothers - PlayStation 5

A classic franchise is reborn for modern consoles! This classic 16-bit trilogy was originally released in the West as Rival Turf!, Brawl Brothers, and The Peace Keepers. However, in Japan, the games have always been known as Rushing Beat, Rushing Beat Ran: Fukusei Toshi, and Rushing Beat Shura. Rushing Beat X: Return of Brawl Brothers is the long-awaited fourth entry in the series.

• STAGES AND SIDE MISSIONS - Rushing Beat X: Return of Brawl Brothers consists of nine thrilling stages. You'll brawl through shopping malls, slums, subways, and laboratories, each packed with enemies eager to take you down. But that's not all; the adventure is also packed with exciting side missions to keep you on your toes. As you progress through the story, unlock more playable characters to master. Plus, Rushing Beat X supports epic two-player co-op, so grab a friend and double the fun!
• STRATEGIC BRAWLING - With easy-to-control auto combos, even beginners can enjoy the exhilarating action! Create your own combos with counterattacks, follow-up attacks, and attacks using weapons you have picked up along the way. Dashing or jumping will cancel most actions, adding a layer of strategy to your brawls. Depending on the directional input, you can also perform different throws, and by throwing enemies at each other you'll knock them out of the way. Furthermore, if you throw them into the background, you can destroy objects that are normally out of reach. It's a great chance to obtain items!
• THE RAGE GAUGE - The classic rage gauge rises as you land attacks or endure them. When the gauge reaches MAX, the player enters rage mode. In addition to increased offensive and defensive abilities, the decisive move 'Beat Rush' can also be activated. It's a power rush like nothing else. Use your righteous anger to defeat evil!
• FOOD - At the Tuff E Nuff kitchen car, which also serves as a checkpoint during stages, you can combine various food items. Creating combo meals with three types of food increases healing potential and may even grant special effects. Whether you're attacking or eating, combos are the way to go! You don’t need to eat the food right away either. You can take it with you, so you’ll always have a nourishing meal in your back pocket, ready to give you an extra energy boost when you need it.
• A NEW BEGINNING - The previous English localizations from the 90s did not follow the story from the original Japanese trilogy. This time, Rushing Beat Ran: Fukusei Toshi and Rushing Beat Shura are woven together into a single coherent tale. Return of Brawl Brothers sees six playable characters – including veterans Rick Norton and Douglas Bild – take to the mean streets of Neo-Cisco as they battle to uncover the secrets of the odious Zeekus virus. Can they discover the true mastermind behind it all? The answer awaits you in Rushing Beat X: Return of Brawl Brothers!
