King of the Streets revives the spirit of 80s-90s 2D arcade fighters with 12 playable characters, each modeled after real people from New Zealand. Fighters clash in Arcade mode to unlock more contenders, delivering brutal Overkills from bone breaks to extreme finishes on stages drawn from Aotearoa landmarks. Pre-rendered 3D art captures that classic arcade vibe, complete with voices pulled from everyday folks, while a no-violence toggle keeps things clean.
Gauntlet mode pits you against the full roster on a single health bar, and Survivor series lets you run knockout tournaments with players or CPU. Hunt for hidden Overkills, unlockables, and secrets amid tracks from Kiwi hip-hop artists like Sikeone and T.O.P. This indie action game hooks fans of nostalgic beat 'em ups craving customizable brawls and cultural flair.
