Nostalgic, โ90s-Inspired 2D Fighting Game Super Combat Fighter Now on Kickstarter
Ernie Reyes, Jr. of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fame confirmed as a Celebrity Guest Fighter
RALEIGH, NC โ Sept. 6, 2018 โ Critical Depth Games and Headless Chicken Games have announced that retro 2D fighter Super Combat Fighter is now on Kickstarter! Featuring digitized actors, over-the-top visuals, a lineup of celebrity guest fighters and gameplay reminiscent of Mortal Kombat, Super Combat Fighter will deliver the goods for $35,000 in completion funds. Just one day in, Critical Depth and Headless Chicken have already raised almost $5,000 (14% of the funding goal). The campaign is set to end Friday, October 12. If funded, Super Combat Fighter is expected to be in backersโ hands by Q3 2019. Super Combat Fighterโs notable celebrity lineup includes actor and martial artist Ernie Reyes, Jr. โ known for his work on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Surf Ninjas, The Rundown (with Dwayne โThe Rockโ Johnson), and Uncharted: Live Action Fan Film (with Nathan Fillion). Also, the multi-talented actor recently directed the music video for Wiz Khalifa’s โRolling Papers 2.โ The gameโs blood-pumping soundtrack will include music composed in part by Andrew Hulshult โ whose tracks were recently featured in Quake Champions, Brutal Doom, Dusk, Rise of the Triad, and Amid Evil. Other exciting artists will also be contributing to the soundtrack and will be announced at a later date. FIGHT!! Super Combat Fighter is an over-the-top, content-packed amalgamation of every fighting game from the โ90s โ including the Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter series. Pick your fighter from a pool of 7 digitized characters across 10 interactive stages in local two-player, head-to-head matches. Experiment with match modifiers, enter cheat codes, uncover unlockables, and string together punishing moves to deliver perfect combos in deadly succession. If all stretch goals are reached, the fighting roster will be expanded to 10 characters. The finished game will also include an extensive single-player story mode with multiple endings. โSuper Combat Fighter is me taking every fighting game I played growing up, throwing them into a bucket, violently shaking it around, and pouring out something awesomeโ says Richard James Cook, creative director at Critical Depth Games. โThe influence of Mortal Kombat in particular is obvious; everything changed the moment I first laid eyes on it in the arcade. To add to that traditional gameplay, we have an unbelievable amount of content just around the corner โ and Iโm very excited as a โ90s kid seeing it all come to life.โ โWhat shines about Super Combat Fighter is that it seamlessly blends together so many recognizable โ90s fighting game tropes,โ adds JP Monge, founder of Headless Chicken Games. โSuper Combat Fighter goes beyond nostalgia, though. Thanks to a team of veteran developers, we can promise our Kickstarter backers that every punch, kick, and special move seen in the trailer will be faithfully implemented in the finished game.โ Key Features- Retro-inspired, digitized combatants with special moves and fatal finishers.
