Contract Killer

Contract Killer is a cooperative beat ’em up with retro arcade influences and paper-inspired visuals. You play as Leadhead and his crew, fighting corporate minions with combos and character-specific attacks. The game includes a campaign, an endless horde mode and a player-versus-player battle mode, with co-op for up to four players across all modes.

The campaign

After the legendary Erasir is defeated, contracts and corporate minions overrun the world, binding thousands to their legal demise. Leadhead and his crew travel through different regions to defeat the bosses who rule them, avenge their master and end the contract calamity.

The characters

Each character has a distinct move set and skins:

• Leadhead: An all-around fighter with an angry attitude and a furious fighting style.
• Penn: A vengeful city native determined to restore his hometown.
• Mark: A clumsy combatant who carries a white flag but does not surrender.
• Pomp: A pretentious paintbrush who treats every attack as a photo opportunity and believes pompadours will always be in style.

Modes and combat

In Horde Mode, you fight endless waves of contracts with help from power-ups. Battle Mode lets you challenge your friends in player-versus-player fights. Across the modes, you can unlock new characters and use an extensive range of attacks, including jabs, claps, grabs, ground-pounds, dashes and projectiles. Corporate lackeys have distinct behaviors and weaknesses to learn.

The game also features boss fights, hand-crafted pixel visuals and an original jazzy soundtrack.
