Brutal next chapter of Amiga's legendary beat'em up 'Franko: The Crazy Revenge' is here. It's time to clean the streets of shit. The iconic game finally gets a sequel it deserves. Are you ready? They are coming!
The game features a robust 2D beat 'em up combat system that players have described as "outstanding and brutal." Gamers can perform a wide variety of attacks, including punches, kicks, jump kicks, double-sided punches, spinning kicks, and grappling moves to take down the over 80 unique enemy types encountered throughout the experience.
In addition to the diverse hand-to-hand combat options, players can pick up and wield over 50 different weapons and special attacks, such as bats, knives, and more unique armaments. However, these items tend to break quickly, forcing players to constantly adapt their tactics during the intense battles.
Developers have crafted "intense and packed" levels filled with hordes of enemies and challenging boss fights. The hand-drawn, old-school 2D environments encourage exploration, as players can discover bonus stages and secret locations while fighting their way to the end of each stage.
The title supports both single-player and 2-player local co-op modes, allowing friends to team up and overcome the game's steep difficulty curve together. This co-op feature, combined with the deep combat system, contributes to the title's strong replayability as players strive to master the various mechanics.
Players have responded very positively to the gameplay, praising the "smooth" and "satisfying" combat, the diversity of moves and weapons, and the game's faithful homage to classic beat 'em up titles. The high difficulty and steep learning curve are also highlighted as part of the appeal, as players work to become proficient in the combat system.
