Oh no! Jane has been kidnapped and forced to take part in an underground fighting tournament! Fight your way through with stylish combos and the help of your sidekick… a fighting chicken?! Explore an open-world abandoned amusement park filled with twists and absurd situations in this non-stop action game inspired by classic Hong Kong action comedies.
Created by the developers of ScourgeBringer and NeuroVoider, Knuckle Paradise is a spectacular, precise, and thrilling fighting game, entirely hand-drawn! Inspired by classic Hong Kong action films and Character Action Games (you know Dante and Bayo, right?), the combat in Knuckle Paradise is fast-paced, frenetic, combo-based, and so aerial that you’ll send Jane (and her enemies) flying to the heavens!
Are you the type who wants to explore everything, complete side quests, and meet lots of new characters? We got you! Find hidden martial arts magazines and unlock new skills for Cocotte while looking for protein bars to increase Jane’s maximum health. Sneak into a nightclub using your stealth skills, take part in car chases, get lost in the house of mirrors…
Do you want to stick to brawling and not get distracted? Go for it! The park is full of hand-animated combatants who are all cruising for a bruising, plus you’re sure to run into some real trophy-seeking challengers in their big, open, boss-room-like areas. You’ll also meet a crew of endearing and quirky characters while beating your way through this story-rich, chicken-forward, deliciously dynamic character action adventure.
In this open-world game with a linear storyline, inspired by the unapologetic action of the legendary Devil May Cry series, fight as if you were watching an action movie. Beneath its tough-guy exterior, the narrative explores various sports values such as fairness, inclusion, respect, and perseverance, all while following Jane’s personal growth through her romantic relationship. A story that will bring a tear to even the toughest guys’ eyes.
As in traditional arcade games, the focus is on fast-paced action, combo attacks, and a balanced level of difficulty to create an experience that is both competitive and challenging, yet rewarding.
Under neon lights, take part in wild brawls set in a meticulously crafted pixel-art world. The unlikely, abandoned locations, captured through an aerial camera, provide the perfect setting for the tournament’s epic battles.
