Set in a city controlled by the Evil Crime Syndicate — a criminal organization that employs everyone from swimmers to clowns to fancy ladies dressed in beautiful gowns — Super Punch Patrol puts players in control of three cops that have had enough of the city’s corruption and decide to take matters into their own hands.
It’s a set-up worthy of the inspiration for the title, with Bertil Hörberg reaching back to the earliest days of the side-scrolling beat ’em up genre in creating his latest title. Whereas this year’s Streets of Rage 4 sought to update the often dusty conventions for a modern audience, Super Punch Patrol gives players the near-exact feel of those classics, warts and all.
