The Takeover Exploding Onto The PS4 With Classic Fisticuffs

Time for The Takeover, a fisticuffs kind in this ’90s inspired side-scrolling beat ’em up, available now on the PlayStation 4.

• A Q&A With imaginarylab, Creators Of Whirlight – No Time To Trip
• The Best Of Two Worlds In Shin Chan: Shiro And The Coal Town
• Blood Hunting Is Dark And Dangerous, This Summer On PS5
• Age of Defense Review: This Takes Ages

From Dangen Entertainment, this old school fighter takes its inspiration from the likes of Streets of Rage and Final Fight, and a title I’ve had my eye on for a while now.

Take to the streets by yourself or in co-op; there are three modes on offer: Arcade, Survival and Challenge, with seven stages, four playable characters and some bonus modes that include high-speed driving and flight modes. You want more!?!

The Takeover is packed full of everything you could want in a title of its kind. Combo chains exist, as well as a super meter that builds up to an ultimate attack. Forget about Netflix and chilling, time to start… I can’t think of anything witty.

Key features include:

• Four playable characters – swappable in real-time.
• Three main modes.
• Seven stages over 20 unique locations.
• Comic book style cutscenes.
• A soundtrack featuring Yuzo Koshiro (you must know their work).

Here’s The Takeover in action:

Out now on PS4, if there’s a chance, I’ll review this as soon as possible.
