@@Shajirr_ I saw all those attempts and they were ALL pretty bad in at least one way. In fact, I daresay the last good arena shooter we got was way back in freaking 2004. If you count the consoles, then Halo Reach would be the last one, and that was 13 years ago. As to TOXIKK specifically, it was lacking in a fair few areas. I remember having an enlightening conversation with Sharkster on the Steam forums (that I would post here if I could) where he wouldn't listen to any suggestions whatsoever. The Arena Shooter genre hasn't taken off these days because we STILL have NOT had ANY game that has even equaled Unreal Tournament in both its gameplay and its breadth of features, much less exceeded it.

2:00 - could just as easily be Bean Bandit’s red (heavily modified) muscle car from the Chicago-based OVA “Riding Bean” circa 1990 or 91. Bean also has a mullet. It’s on various free streaming sites and is worth a watch. Great soundtrack, too.
Man this games does certainly look very cool. I'd like to see you talk more about anime. It be cool to see you review some of your favorite anime one day Gman.
Sounds like Crank meets Guns Akimbo with an 80’s theme
Daaamn son, that '80 anime style looks beautiful and fits perfectly for the game's setting. Reminds me of Macross and Bubblegum Crisis.
Didn't know you were an anime fan, and the fact you mentioned Ninja Scroll and Madbull, mad props. I'm a man of culture myself, and I'm glad to see this game is in the works. Feels like the ultra-violent 90s anime FPS game I've never knew I needed in my life, like seeing Guyver or Violence Jack in the modern era.
This is this first time I've ever heard of Mullet Mad Jack, and I'm already hooked.
Thank god for your channel, so many great games that i would otherwise miss. Thanks again man.
Holy fuck Ninja Scroll is the main reason I got into Anime in HS. You’ve taken me back my friend haha

The main character himself reminds me of Bean Bandit/Roadbuster from Riding Bean/Gunsmith Cats who sported the same hair and glasses, also driving a car. There's even a scene where he slides the car to a full stop like in the main menu intro to this game.
Another great video lad! You got me convinced to even get this game! Keep it up lad!
Ninja Scroll, GITS, Akira and Street Fighter 2 The Animated Movie were my introduction to anime (also way too young.) Needless to say, I was INSTANTLY spoiled when it came to action and animation quality. Today's animes have their charm, but it just can't scratch the itch that watching a 80's/90's LoFi/Synthwave AMV can.
Damn the 90s to early 2000s were awesome. Wish we could have those aesthetics back.
It wasn't that long ago people were dunking on "corridor shooters" and here we are.
This really is just anime Post Void, I love it
This game is just oozing with style, I love it definitely going to wish list it. I appreciate games that rewards aggressive gameplay, reminds me of bloodborne's regain.
FPS HOTLINE MIAMI and it's in 90s anime style? Sign me the f**k up!!!
Those melee kills evoked some serious 80s/90s light gun vibes, with the art style and large, in your face violence.
Finally a game where a true chad is the protagonist... Saving the princess and, i bet, bed her right on the still steaming corpse of the big bad guy who kidnapped her...
Yeah this makes me very very motion sick
Spinning shotgun?! Oh hell yeah, finally!
This is an artstyle we need more of in games... and anime again as well.
80s aesthetics will never die
at first i genuinely thought this was just a very intricate post void mod or something

Speaking of my Mum, she wants me to tell you if you don't agree to clean up that mess you made in her ensuite, she won't be leaving the back door unlocked next Thursday night.

Good to know that despite being a hardcore, gutsy badass, Jack is still willing to be relatable with many people on the internet today Also I appreciate your willingness to support my mother Gman, respect ✊😔
The game is clearly influenced by a whole lot of retro anime but the one in my mind the most is definitely Megazone 23. Like the princess is clearly inspired by both Yui and EVE from said anime.

Already had this one in my sights, the news that there's gonna be a demo is awesome. Also, that outro anim looks super cool, if the creators of a game would depict me being that cool, I'd review their game too
There is a game called Berserk Mode that is very similar in mechanics but set up as a dungeon crawl style roguelike with those same kind of 2d graphics with 3-5 backgrounds and the same constant life drain mechanic as a curse your character is inflicted with that makes you have to constantly kill enemies to keep yourself from dying and also allows you to go into "Berserk Mode" which transforms you into a beast form that you select at the start and can unlock more forms as persistent upgrades. Then you also have per run upgrades that you get at the start of each level in a run and you pick a weapon or a magical attack for each hand. Throwing Axes, Swords, Fireballs, Acid Sprays, Thorns you shoot out your hand like a gun, staves that shoot electricity, crossbows, ect ect. You can also choose to add additional curses at the start and in between each level that give you more money for upgrades or some kind of buff in exchange for the debuff you get from the curse like 50 percent more dmage but faster life drain, decreased movment speed for extra life, exploding enemies for extra money, ect ect. There is a lot of variety for sure and its got good smooth fast paced and chaotic combat but never so much you dont know whats going on. Plus its only 5 bucls
I thoroughly enjoyed the GMan driving animation at the end
