The new additions sound like they'll really spice up the combat, and I'm stoked to see how the expanded narrative builds on the original's charm. March 2026 can't come soon enough for this pixelated throwback.
Honestly, adding Matthew Patel as a playable character is a genius move that finally lets us throw down with demon hipsters ourselves. Can't wait to see how the new flight mechanics for Robot-01 mix up the classic beat-'em-up flow.
