Platform(s): PC
Genre: Beat em up / action
Estimated year of release: I remember playing it around 15 years ago, so let the estimated year just be <2005.
Graphics/art style: Pixelated 2d isometric graphics
Isometry, like in Double Dragon, Ninja turtles: Manhattan project and so on
Gameplay mechanics: brutal bloody beat em up, that revolves around 2 attack buttons: punch and kick; and jumping around
World: first, you fight in forests, USA presumably, then i just remember last location, smth like hell and there was a fight in the middle in a subway section
when you move from 1 screen to another - all enemies respawn
Enemies: all enemies are different kinds of humanoids, including bosses: i remember zombies in the beginning. No monsters or anything like it, all enemies are human-like
Fighting: you can fight max 4 enemies at once, when you kill an enemy - 4th will come, then you fight until all enemies die
Safe spots: 1-2 screens with Fast food shops between fighting zones that sell upgrades for your character
Shop items: you get in the shops, buy and eat fastfood there that upgrade or heal you: burgers, soda and so on
There are 3 kinds of items: 1) healing items; 2) items that upgrade your stats: hp, defense, punch, kick; 3) items that give you special moves
Special moves: i remember jumping on heads of enemies; you can snap necks of enemies that try to get up; you can rip off hearts of enemies and eat it (and refill your HP if i remember correctly)
Currency: $, max amount is 99.99$, you can farm it by killing enemies in fighting zones
Music: electronic, but it wasn't 8-bit, it sounded like "modern" electronic music with beats and stuff.
Other details: fights are very bloody - after a fight ground is covered in blood
When you fight, blood splash all over, especially during special attacks, like eating hearts of enemies
I tried googling, the closest game visually i found from background style perspective is Renegade (1988), backgrounds looked like in that game; especially subway looks very similar there. Enemies don't look similar though. In the game i'm looking for head played a big role, because a lot of attacks were aimed at damaging or removing it.
It looked like a project of a small team or maybe even 1 person, who wanted to make his own bloody beat em up on PC
I understand that the game is very rare: i spent hours googling it over the years, but found nothing. For someone who played it - info above should be enough.
Thank you guys in advance
