The Showdown Effect invites you to a deadly dance

With Arrowhead’s “2.5D” homage to both brawlers and 80s-90s action films due to launch on 5 March, perhaps it might be wise to take in some of the finer things in life. Relax, listen to some Strauss, and watch some not-at-all-copyright-infringing heroes attempt to shoot one another for points.

The latest trailer, which provides just such an opportunity, can be seen below. It’s so moving, I may just shed a tear.

We’ve been having a go at this game at IncGamers, so expect a ‘Plays’ of the beta to coincide with next week’s launch. The game will cost you $10.00 USD and, in reality, has far less waltzing and far more Bill & Ted style guitar riffing.
