VanillaBeast: Retro Knock-Out!

【Game Introduction】

VanillaBeast: Retro Knock-Out!

A Parody Game

NOTE* As we've done in the trailers, short description, and now here on the main page, we want to inform you (the consumer) that Retro KO! is a CHALLENGING retro game. Most games call themselves "retro" but only appear that way graphically. Everything about them is modern including game design, difficulty level, and they hold your hand through the entire game, that's not retro. We DO NOT coddle you. We grew up going from Atari 2600 in the 80s to the NES in the 90s facing the real Mike Tyson in Punch-Out!, trying to kill Jaws in the NES game, fighting through hordes of evil in Ghosts N' Goblins, and understanding the sewer system in the OG TMNT, all without hand-holding, YouTube to bail us out, or smart phones to give us every answer at the touch of a button. The mission of Retro KO! is to show you, the gamer, that we know retro games and we're not giving into this current microwave generation that wants everything fast and handed to them without having to earn it. We want you to laugh at the jokes, enjoy the game at your own pace, but also to feel a sense of accomplishment when you beat an opponent. We want you to remember what it's like to have to scoot up to the screen, turn your hat backwards, and actually focus to beat a boss. We're not for everyone, we know that, and we want it that way. All that being said, we designed Retro KO! to make you LAUGH. So, sit back, grab a adult beverage of choice and see if you're tough enough to make your way through the Venereousville Boxing ranks and defeat Tike Myson for all the glory!

VB Retro Knock-Out! is the first prequel chapter to VanillaBeast: Ace in the Hole. Follow Vanilla as he works through the boxing ranks facing off against tons of parody boxing opponents on his way to the undisputed champion of the Venereousville Boxing Association.. Tike Myson.

Experience nostalgic game play and visuals as you battle over 30 parody opponents in your quest to become the champ. Retro Knock-Out! is a “pick up and play” arcade boxing game with beautiful pixel art, incredible arenas, mature story, and fast-paced arcade style gameplay.

Not only will you experience awesome retro gameplay, but you'll come along for a titillating story told through the awesome visuals of Oleg Okunev (Perky Little Things, Metropolis: Lux Obscura, Pestilence, etc.). Trust us when we say we're not pulling any punches when it comes to introducing you to Vanilla's hometown, Venereousville USA. From Strips Ahoy! Gentlemen's Club to Glod's Gym to the sacred boxing ring, you're in for a wild ride.

Head back to the late 80s / early 90s with tons of nostalgic pop culture easter eggs and references. Retro Knock-Out! is a project of passion created by children of the 90s who want to bring that special time in history back to you. 8-bit chiptunes, hilarious parody songs, familiar old school gameplay and comedy that hits like Caddyshack (back when comedy was actually good) did. Remember, Retro Knock-Out! is just like Jack Burton always said.. it's all in the reflexes.
