Buka Entertainmanent and Ravenscourt are doing their part in bringing back the beat 'em up genre with their new title 9 Monkeys of Shaolin which is coming out on consoles this October.
9 Monkeys of Shaolin puts you in the shoes of a Chinese fisherman named Wei Change whose mission is to avenge the death of your family and friends after their demise at the hands of pirates who raided your village.
Throughout the game, you'll be learning the art that Shaolin monks have mastered. There will be three fighting styles to choose, each with a connection to elements like earth and air, or to a mysterious magic force. All of these, as well as various unlockable perks, items, and array of Chinese and Japans weaponry, will help you develop the farmer Wei Change into a legendary Shaolin.
There's 25 different levels in the game, with locations varying from villages, to pirate ships, and Japanese mansions. All of these are presented in the stunning art style that you see in the trailer.
Just like old beat-em-ups, you can even bring along a friend to fight off the waves of enemies in co-op mode.
9 Monkeys of Shaolin is set to release on the PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Switch on October 16.
