The Showdown Effect is a 2.5D multiplayer action game inspired by 80’s and 90’s action movies. Champions from throughout time fight to death for fun, for glory and for awesome.

The Showdown Effect recreates the outrageous combat found in classic action movies and then takes it one step further. Use weaponry pulled straight from the silver screen's unparalleled arsenal: shotguns, baseball bats, assault rifles, umbrellas, grenades, katanas, rocket launchers and more.

No explosion is too loud and no bullet dodge is impossible. Impale your friend with a broomstick and tell them to “Stick around” as you jetpack off to the next enemy. The Showdown Effect also uses integrated streaming technology to live stream directly to Twitch.tv, without the need for third party software.

Up to 8 player fast paced, cinematic, multiplayer action
In-game, out-of-the box streaming capability to Twitch.tv
6 clichéd characters , each with unique abilities
4 levels across two different environments
4 different free for all and team based game modes
Solo and team matchmaking
Custom rules sets to create your own game modes – Pistols only!
Progressive rewards and unlocks for character and weapon customization
Experience the most over-the-top action sequences from your favorite movies across different environments
Numerous heroes, dozens of weapons, hundreds of moves - infinite fun
of course it's in beta so not much of that will actually be in the game yet.





Most fun weapon? Definitely the sword.

I'm going to poop on this game now:

How is this any different from any other 2D multiplayer platformer shooter?

I'm probably going to buy it, looks fun
