Numskull Games showcases the game&#8217;s unique block button, the ability to attack someone behind you, and \u2014 to make enemies feel really humiliated \u2014 kick them when they&#8217;re face-first on the floor. Dying mid-brawl will drop you back into battle quickly and will also clear the screen \u2014 the thud of your impact really is that powerful!<\/p>\n<p>The characters also get their time to shine too. Duke Sancho, the bare-fisted knuckle fighter is nimble and agile, with fast jabs and a powerful bicycle kick, and he fights with style and flash. Essex-born Claire Sparks is a martial arts specialist, with palm thrusts, airborne kicks, and two different throw variations. The two Brits are joined by Canadian ex pro-wrestler Miller T. Williams, who can break spines, dropkicks, and suplex enemies down.<\/p>\n<p>Arcade Mode features six different locations across London, with secrets like hidden lives and dangerous weapons to be uncovered. There&#8217;s also a Boss Rush Mode where you can take on each of the unique and eclectic bosses one after the other, or a Survival Mode where you keep on fighting hordes of enemies until you run out of steam. Of course, with these kinds of games, you should always grab a friend and play through the whole thing together \u2014 or show them who the true ruler of the streets of London is.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the full preview at the top for a more in-depth rundown of the characters and gaeplay modes.
