Uppers

Uppers is a beat-'em-up brawler set on Last Resort Island, a city where violence is the greatest amusement and strength can bring both fortune and admiration. You follow Ranma and Michiru, two young men who arrive intent on reaching the top, alongside other fighters with ambitions of their own. Across seven chapters, you fight to be crowned the strongest on the island and discover the characters’ motivations and painful pasts.

Fighters and chapters

The game features 12 fighters and eight support characters, and lets you control up to 13 fighters, including the bonus character Daidoji-senpai from the SENRAN KAGURA series. Each fighter has their own combos and finishing moves, drawing on styles such as kickboxing, martial arts, kenka and wrestling. The seven chapters take place across multiple locations and can be played at multiple difficulty levels.

Combat and the crowd

You fight in streetside battles while building your VOLTAGE. RISE-UP augments your combos with additional spectacle and fighting style, and Upper Rush lets you unleash hundreds of attacks on an opponent. Fans watch the fights and may reward you by showing you their favorite pair of underwear.

Use the surroundings

You can turn objects and passing vehicles into weapons, throwing cars, bicycles and motorbikes. Other environmental attacks include slamming an opponent into a manhole or uppercutting them into a passing helicopter.
