Metro Siege Kickstarter Surpasses Goal — Amiga, Neo Geo and PC Versions Confirmed

Metro Siege Kickstarter Surpasses Goal — Amiga, Neo Geo and PC Versions Confirmed Metro Siege, the retro-inspired beat 'em up developed by John Tsakiris in partnership with Enable Software and promoted by Bit Beam Software (publisher of DaemonClaw), has hit a major crowdfunding milestone. The project's Kickstarter campaign had raised €49,207 against its €16,000 goal with 23 days remaining as of the campaign update posted on Thu 11th Jun 2026. The campaign promises builds for 16-bit Amiga systems, Neo Geo hardware and a modern PC release via Steam and Itch.io. Background and demo history The project first attracted attention in mid-2024 when Bit Beam Software published a playable preview. In an original report dated Mon 15th Jul 2024, that preview included three levels and two playable fighters — Alex and Kim — offering a taste of the team’s vision for a two-player side-scrolling brawler inspired by classics such as Final Fight and Streets of Rage. The demo bundle published by the team included an ADF suitable for 1MB Amigas, a hard-drive image for 020+ Amigas with 2MB RAM, and a CD32 build; a Windows demo was also scheduled according to a developer video. Kickstarter details and tiers The live Kickstarter lists multiple pledge tiers, including a digital edition priced at €13 that grants access to all three platform builds (Amiga, Neo Geo and PC) as part of the reward structure. Higher tiers offer physical releases — Amiga on CD or floppy, and Neo Geo MVS/AES — and include extras such as collectible cards, sticker sheets, pin badges and posters. Developer roadmap and design approach (paraphrased) The developers explain they are producing distinct builds for 16-bit Amiga computers, Neo Geo hardware and a modern PC release. They plan to complete the Amiga version first and follow with playable Neo Geo and PC builds shortly after. While all versions are designed around the same three core playable characters, the team intends to differentiate alternate character versions, gameplay mechanics and boss encounters between the Amiga and modern PC builds to offer unique experiences per platform. Story and characters Campaign materials reveal two of the game's protagonists, Kim and Alex. The narrative setup describes citywide riots driven by gangs; Kim, recently suspended from the police after investigating her father's mysterious death, reunites with her friend Alex at an MMA gym and they take to the streets to uncover the source of the unrest.
