RUSHING BEAT X: Return of Brawl Brothers adds PS5 version; PC demo now available

The side-scrolling beat ’em up game titled “RUSHING BEAT X: Return of Brawl Brothers” is set to debut on PlayStation 5, alongside its previously announced version for PC (Steam). City Connection and Clear River Games made this announcement but did not specify a release date. A demo for the game is currently available on PC as part of Steam Next Fest: June 2025 Edition.

Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:

About

In the midst of chaos brought on by organized crime, lethal viruses, and other calamities, Neo-Cisco has consistently emerged victorious due to a valiant group of heroes. Once more, they are called upon to stand tall against an immense evil, unmasking the hidden puppet master behind these catastrophic occurrences.

Once again, Jaleco’s “Rushing Beat” makes its comeback, offering a refreshing blend of beat ’em up gameplay with fresh maneuvers, innovative weaponry, and new companions. The adventure promises an exhilarating, two-player cooperative storyline, doubling the excitement!

Action

For newcomers, it’s simple to revel in thrilling action thanks to intuitive auto-combos. Create your unique combos by blending various moves such as counters, follow-ups, and weapon-based assaults. Many actions can be interrupted with dashes or jumps for seamless transitions. Master the cancel system to launch an endless stream of consecutive attacks!

Techniques for tossing things can be modified using specific cues. Knock out your designated foes, and if you hurl them towards the backdrop, you’ll have an opportunity to obtain previously inaccessible items by destroying otherwise untouchable objects!

With each blow you deal or harm you receive, your anger meter rises. Once it’s fully charged, you enter a rage state. Not only will you have boosted attack and defense capabilities, but you’ll also be capable of performing a powerful finishing move called “Beat Rush.” Overcome wickedness with the might of righteous wrath!

Chapters

Traverse diverse settings such as shopping centers, shantytowns, underground train stations, and scientific laboratories in your quest to reveal the truth and protect the city again! Embark on optional missions during your journey, featuring a mix of tasks and unique stage features to tackle!

Characters

In this action-packed game, both experienced players like Rick Norton and Douglas Bild, as well as newcomers, must learn the distinctive combat techniques of each character to triumph. As you advance, you’ll unlock even more fighters. Additionally, a two-player cooperative mode offers an extra strategic depth and enjoyment: combine characters and discover the ideal team!

Food

In the heat of gameplay at Tuff E Nuff, I often find myself stopping by the kitchen cart that doubles as a checkpoint between stages. Here, I can mix and match different food items I’ve gathered to create combos! Crafting these three-item meals not only boosts my healing capabilities but also grants me some nifty special effects to help me along the way. It’s all about the strategy!
