About Vortex Of Pain

Story: Liberate your city from a cult of simulation theory maniacs. Gameplay: Vortex of Pain is a beat 'em up game with breakable 3D environments and smooth gameplay influenced by 2D classics. Evasions, grappling, and using the environment objects as weapons have a big role in the gameplay compared to most other beat 'em ups. A controller is strongly recommended, but keyboard and mouse controls are supported also. Features:

Single player and up to 4 player co-op story mode
Versus mode for 2-4 players
A customizable gameplay experience: 4 difficulty levels, adjustable enemy counts, and a randomizer mode that randomizes enemies and items
Various combat mechanics: weapons, grapples, strikes, air grapples, evasions, ear bites, flips, ball rolls, slides, splashes and free rotation throws
The environments play a large role in the gameplay: lots of breakable objects you can throw your enemies onto, and many props can be used as weapons
Weird enemies with unique abilities: mimes who copy moves from players, garbage collectors who eat and launch fragments of trash like a grenade, lagging modem-headed cyborg Minotaurs, recursive cardboard box -throwing thugs, etc...
Levels emphasize verticality to allow platforming and dangerous fighting areas
Boxing bags that aren't fooling around
Each playable character has the Atomic drop move!
