Indie video game developer Reptile Games have announced that their latest title, Megabyte Punch, is now available for purchase via the Steam store, and for its first week will be available at 20% off its regular price.
Megabyte Punch is what they are describing as a fusion of SSB, Megaman and Custom Robo – resulting in an electro fighting / beam ’em up where players have control over the design of their own robotic character. The game is split up into two modes, the first being the standard Story Mode where you get your parts to upgrade the fighter. Some of the described parts include Tornado Shoulders for a whirlwind attack or powerful hips for a devastating pelvic thrust attack. The abilities of the customized fighters can compete in tournaments or battle against other players in a destructible arena.
In the multiplayer battle mode players can fight other players with the abilities each customized creature gives them. Players can also enter the tournament to win rare new parts for their character. Players will have the opportunity to create their own versus levels with an external image editor and add it into the game for even more destructive fun.
