More delicious Disasterpeace music!
It has been nearly two years sinceRiver City Ransom: Undergroundwasfunded on Kickstarter, and the game has just recently went up for voting onSteam Greenlightwith the above new trailer in tow. While you’re giving it a watch be sure to look for the four person box stacking and a shark on the receiving end of a flying pile-driver and listen for a wonderful soundtrack by one of my favorite artists, Disasterpeace.
Can I gush aboutDisasterpeacefor a minute? He has made some of my favorite chiptune albums and did the score for my movie of the year (thus far)It Follows,which is easily one of the best horror films I’ve seen inyears. The fact that he is making the soundtrack to the sequel to one of my favorite games of all time has me giddy.
Okay, back toRiver City Ransom: Underground;it is said to be the sequel to the original though one could argue it had various followups in Japan, such asDowntown Special: Kunio-kun no Jidaigeki da yo Zen’in Shugo!, which were never localized. TheRiver City Ransomseries is better known as theKunio-kunin Japan where there were around 15 games starring the sexy beast known as Kunio, including many sports games that came west asSuper DodgeballandNintendo World Cup.
Undergroundis set to feature over 100 hand-drawn levels, over eight heroes to choose from, and a four player co-op campaign that can be played locally or online. I remember beating the original title in an afternoon, so the thought of having over 100 levels to play is a bit overwhelming, but would certainly be a great time with three other friends.
I seriously encourage everyone reading this that has ever been a fan of beat ’em ups to go to the Steam Greenlight page now and vote forRiver City Ransom: Underground;don’t make me BARF!
