Ravenage Games has dropped their ?80s throwback dual-stick shooter, Mega City Police, on PC today. You can nab it on Steam, GOG, and Epic Games Store.
Mega City Police is really nostalgic for the ?80s. You play as legally distinct versions of various action heroes and dole out justice from the end of their guns. Every scene in the trailer is depicted under a CRT filter, and I wouldn?t have it any other way.

Mega City Police comes touting eight playable characters with 16 different abilities. More impressively, it has more than 100 weapons and upgrades! I?m not sure if that is ?100 weapons including upgrades? or ?100 weapons that you can upgrade.? This is played underneath the pulsing tones of a synth-wave soundtrack. It?s also a roguelite, which I know means that half of you stopped reading. For those of you that remain, the levels are procedurally assembled, and there?s ?a robust progression system.?
I can dig its vibes. I like dual-stick shooters and synth-wave. However, what really stands out to me in the trailer is the character selection screen. I just want to hang around in that police station. Those donuts look great.
Mega City Police is available today on Steam, GOG, and Epic Games Store. Following release, Ravenage Games has announced that ?the game will get 5 free expansions with new secret levels, agents, and couch coop.?
