Dante Alfonse never believed in facing the consequences for his actions, until a fateful encounter opens his eyes and he decides to change his ways for good. Of course, with so many sins to absolve and the forces of evil standing in the way, the road to redemption is all but impossible. Too bad for the devil…he picked the wrong sinner to mess with! Aided by a heavenly messenger and a mysterious new power to light his way, the 70’s-loving retired pro-boxer will attempt an impossible journey, discover the secrets of the afterlife…and ultimately show the dead what it really means to have soul!
Stud is a 14 year old boy whose father regularly abandons him. With his abnormal ability to turn any part of his body into a Hammer, Stud fends for himself while also trying to achieve a goal his father has advised for him as one of the most important accomplishments in life, making a true friend. Unfortunately the kids in his town shun him for being weird, so his only option is to go on his own adventures and find true friends along the way.
Dynamic Tag Combos, Powered by Rollback Netcode!
Saturday AM: Battle Manga pushes team-based combat further with both Active Tag and Assist Tag mechanics, all backed by seamless rollback netcode. Players can either launch directly into the fight with Active Tag, where a partner rushes in mid-combo to extend pressure, or use Assist Tag, calling in support while switching control on the fly to continue the point character’s offense. This dual-tag system opens up creative team synergies and tactical depth rarely seen in fighting games, giving every battle a fast, adaptive rhythm built for competitive play.
