Today it was announced by Hyper Awesome Entertainment, the release of its much anticipated retro tag-team brawler, Dungeon Punks, for the Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft, and the PlayStation 4 computer entertainment system.

Dungeon Punks is available now for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 for $14.99. The PlayStation Vita version will release on August 16 followed by a Windows PC and OS X release coming later this summer to Steam.
Check out the launch trailer of Dungeon Punks, featuring some gameplay footage with reviews of the game:
“A throwback to the arcade brawlers of the past but featuring modern fighting game mechanics and engrossing RPG elements, Dungeon Punks is filled with crazy magic spells, custom combo attacks and tag team-inspired tactical mayhem. Set in a world of magic, mystery and corporate greed, players will discover loot and adventure as they seek to unravel the dark secrets of RezCorp in an effort take down the corrupt bigwigs of the resurrection insurance industry.
“Dungeon Punks is a nod to the classic era of arcade brawlers and beat ‘em ups – when gaming was exciting and challenging, but still entirely accessible; when co-op was new and the camaraderie of a multiplayer adventure called you to the corner store for just one more round; when games were hard, satisfying and best experienced with friends,” said Dan Goldstein, Co-Founder and Developer at Hyper Awesome Entertainment. “We wanted to make the game that we wished we could play, one that would take the best parts of fighting games like X-Men vs. Street Fighter and put them in the middle of a fantasy adventure full of devastating magic spells, custom combos, powerful weapons, interactive environments, power ups, and of course, rideable laser shooting unicorns…”
Dungeon Punks is a hilarious mash up of medieval times, magic and modern reality delivering players its own unique and quirky spin on the classic brawling genre.”
