The Risers

The Risers is a 2.5D fighting game set in a world of ruins after the Third World War. You choose one of eight fighters from different nations, each with their own objectives in a world tournament whose prize is control of the world and the chance to lead it into a new future.

The fighters

• Lord Austin: a surgeon obsessed with finding the soul inside the human body.
• Allegra: a puppet whose main goal is to protect children and make them laugh.
• Fydora: empress of the forgotten realms of Eastern Europe.
• Sir: an undead knight from the Iberian Peninsula searching for his love and trying to calm his hunger.
• Thalasinus: a firefighter cursed by the gods with the Kelpie's curse, who wants to face them.
• Akin: a child created by an experiment mixing human and rat DNA. More animal than human, he wants only to survive.
• Tsurí: a mysterious force of nature first seen in Japan's forests, appearing as a samurai.
• Mr. Wyndi: known as “the Wendigo with the cackler grin,” he covets the weapons and essence of twentieth-century gangsters, hiding his psychopathy.

Combat

Each character has two manual combos and two automatic combos, which you can perform with a single button. Each also has a Hyper movement activated with two buttons. The X-BREAKER kickback system can be triggered with one button when your health is critical.

Arcade mode

In arcade mode, you fight seven opponents before facing the final boss. You can choose from four difficulty levels, with gameplay ranging from simple to frenetic. The game also includes endings for all eight characters.
