In an exciting development for fans of classic gaming, Deadly Metropolis has officially launched its Kickstarter campaign, seeking $100,000 to fund the remaining stages of its development.
The game, helmed by a small team led by DintheAbary—a consultant on the critically acclaimed Streets of Rage 4—aims to bring a fresh, modern take on side-scrolling beat-'em-ups to platforms including the Nintendo Switch. A Genre Revived Side-scrolling fighting games were a staple of arcades and home consoles in the late '80s and early '90s, with legendary franchises such as Double Dragon, Golden Axe, Final Fight, and Streets of Rage dominating the scene.
Though the genre experienced a period of decline in the late '90s, the past decade has seen a robust revival, with new releases winning over both nostalgic fans and a new generation of players.
Deadly Metropolis seeks to continue this resurgence, blending the core appeal of classic brawlers with updated mechanics and visual flair. About Deadly Metropolis In development since 2020, Deadly Metropolis is described by its creators as a "fast-paced, beat-'em-up action game that fuses deep combat mechanics, engaging exploration, and striking graphics in one comprehensive package." The game promises intricate fighting systems that reward skill and adaptability, set against the backdrop of vividly designed environments.
Lead developer DintheAbary, whose recent work includes his role as a consultant on Streets of Rage 4, brings a wealth of genre-specific expertise to the table, helping to ensure that Deadly Metropolis both honors its predecessors and pushes the genre forward. Team's Commitment and Kickstarter Launch The decision to leverage Kickstarter reflects the team’s commitment to engaging directly with the gaming community and delivering a polished product that aligns with fan expectations.
At launch, the campaign sets a clear funding goal of $100,000, emphasizing the transparent and focused approach behind the project.
A spokesperson from the development team stated that while significant work remains, the early feedback and support from genre enthusiasts have been highly encouraging.

Looking Ahead With its blend of classic design, modern enhancements, and an experienced indie team, Deadly Metropolis stands out as one of the most promising beat-'em-ups in recent memory.
As the Kickstarter campaign gains traction, both fans of the genre and Nintendo Switch users will be watching closely, eager to see this project reach its funding goal and make its mark on today’s action game landscape.
