"It’s often thought that indie developers can do things no big studio will. This is usually attributed to the school of thought that the big guys can’t financially afford to take a loss with an unproven IP when the juggernauts (Call of Duty, Madden, etc.) sell to meet or exceed expectations year after year. So when a developer like Reptile comes along with an idea to mash up two or three genres, it’s both exciting and easy to generate skepticism. So how does the robot-building platforming beat ‘em up Megabyte Punch stand on its own? Is it a black eye to indie devs or a knockout punch? Let’s find out."
"Punch, kick, and shoot your way through Megabyte Punch, the new game from Team Reptile, in which you play as a modular robot with swappable parts." Craig @ Thumb Culture
Prepare to smash robots and customize the loadout! Megabyte Punch has come to Switch. This action packed game does a good job of blending Smash Bros and Megaman. There seems to be a lot to this game and the Gamers Lounge has spent some time with it.
Independent game development studio Team Reptile releases their electro beat ‘em up "Megabyte Punch" on Nintendo Switch in America, Europe and Japan today.
very cool looking game, i think i might pick this up.
Why do we get so few indie beat em ups? This looks refreshing.
