NEW YORK—APRIL 20, 2016—Hyper Awesome Entertainment LLC, an independent developer of RPGs, will introduce a unique new kind of tag-team side-scrolling brawler RPG with the release of Dungeon Punks for PlayStation®4, Xbox® One, and personal computer. The game looks to reintroduce the feel of multiplayer camaraderie from the arcades of the past by combining key elements of RPGs, fighting games, and 2.5D brawlers into one incredible experience.
Dungeon Punks will debut with live hands-on gameplay at this week’s PAX East in Boston, MA, and can be found in Booth #11233.
“Dungeon Punks combines our favorite ideas from old-school brawlers, RPGs and fighting games to mash-up the intense tactical play you can get from a great fighter with the joy of trouncing tons of bad guys with devastating magic from RPGs,” said Dan Goldstein, co-founder and developer, Hyper Awesome Entertainment. “The tag-team part of Dungeon Punks really sets the game apart with uniquely equipped heroes that work as a team to create fun and devastating combos. In the end, Dungeon Punks feels like playing a Street Fighter RPG – and that is an incredible thing to play with friends!”
