Wako Factory to launch Samurai Riot on Steam in September

With a striking handdrawn look, French indie title, Samurai Riot, separate itself from the competition in a fairly crowded beat 'em up genre these days.

"The main inspiration in the creation of Samurai Riot is really simple - we always loved to play cooperative games, especially arcade style - with each other. We felt that there are not enough local cooperative games to play, so we decided to develop our own Beat'em Up, that focuses on the co-op experience." said Kevin Buchet, game designer at Wako Factory.

"We are also big fans of Japanese history and we have spent a lot of time on the backdrop story of the game, where you have to make the decision on what you would sacrifice in order to preserve your honor as a samurai and feel that our game seamlessly mixes traditional Japanese elements and mythology, in a fresh and modern take on the classic genre."

The game will launch on Steam this September and below is a trailer showcasing the co-op of Samurai Riot.
