Hero Concept has announced that their Kickstarter campaign for Mayhem Brawler II: Best of Both Worlds, their fourth title, is now live.
This highly anticipated sequel is a perfect fuse of ’90s arcade vibe and modern rogue-lite/RPG mechanics in a time-transition-themed beat ’em up, featuring hand-drawn comics-inspired art, frame-by-frame animated characters, and kick-ass soundtracks.
A Steam demo is currently available, where players jump back and forth between paired heroes from two timelines to fight opponents from both the past and present simultaneously.
Mayhem Brawler II – A Perfect Fuse
- Time Transitions: Players can switch not just between heroes but between entire timelines, instantly shifting everything on the screen. This allows them to experience events 20 years apart and adapt their strategies in real-time.
- Combo Potential: Players can chain together combos using light, heavy dash, grapple, and special attacks, spiced up by OTG mechanics to keep the action flowing. Weapons and breakable objects further diversify the combat experience.
- Co-op Multiplayer: Play solo or team up with friends in couch or online co-op modes for up to 4 players.
- Hand-Drawn Visuals: Gorgeous comic-book-style hand-drawn cel animations bring the Mayhem universe to life with vibrant colors and fluid, frame-by-frame action.
- Endless Replayability: Thanks to rogue-lite and RPG elements perfectly fused with classic beat ’em up mechanics, players can enjoy rich endgame content and a fresh gameplay experience with each new playthrough.
Mayhem Brawler II will be available to gamers everywhere in Q1 2026 in Steam, PlayStation 4|5, Xbox One|Series, and Nintendo Switch versions.
