About This Game

What if your favorite '80s arcade beat 'em up transformed into a modern VS fighting game every time you reached a boss?

Based on the hit Image Comics series Final Boss by acclaimed creator Tyler Kirkham, Final Boss: The Video Game is a genre-blending action game that seamlessly combines retro pixel-art brawling, cinematic comic-book storytelling, and modern 3D fighting game combat.

Play solo as Tommy Brazen or co-op with his faithful allies as the comic book heroes battle through dangerous islands, forgotten deserts, and the seedy criminal underworld. As Tommy's mysterious powers awaken and the truth behind his family's legacy unfolds, Tommy’s abilities and techniques expand, and each victory brings him closer to a destiny far greater than he imagined.

Fight solo or with up to three friends in local co-op as Tommy, Rabak, Masked Vigilante, and Midnight Lily. Battle through enemy hordes, survive environmental hazards, unlock new abilities, and prepare for the defining moment of every stage.

And when each new boss arrives, everything changes. Side-scrolling action seamlessly transitions into a fully 3D one-on-one showdown where timing, reflex, and mastery take center stage. Each side-scrolling level teaches new mechanics during the beat 'em up sections before testing them in an unforgettable VS boss encounter. Multiplayer teammates can tag into duels, creating a unique hybrid of arcade brawler chaos and competitive fighting game depth.

Final Boss is a love letter to the golden age of arcade action, reimagined for a new generation.
