ININ Games and Tanuki Creative Studio have announced the launch of the upcoming adrenaline-pumping 2D beat ‘em up Jitsu Squad on consoles this winter. The game will launch on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5 this winter, with a digital release for the Xbox family of consoles planned for a later date.
The game brings back the old-school brawlers fun from the 90s, paired with an awesome hand-drawn cartoon look and exciting style of modern beat ‘em ups. All this while staying true to the age-old arcade gaming rule: easy to learn, but hard to master.
Watch the trailer below:
Play alone or with up to four people in co-op mode against waves of enemies while amassing massive combo chains and unleashing flashy super moves. Also, the game’s soundtrack was created by none other than Crush 40 singer Johnny Gioeli, famous for the iconic SONIC The Hedgehog music.
The story of the game talks about the wicked sorcerer Origami, who is looking to find the legendary Kusanagi Stone, containing the soul of a powerful demon and which can grant godly powers to those who awaken it. However, the stone has been hidden over the centuries and the sorcerer has summoned ancient warriors to bring the stone to him and while cursing their souls by turning them into animals.
Luckily, a mysterious monk called Ramen manages to save four warrior souls from Origami’s call: Hero, Baby, Jazz, and Aros, together are the Jitsu Squad.
