Senran Kagura producer Kenichiro Takaki has been working on ideas for Uppers for a while now, and it’s finally been announced. Gamer shares the latest screenshots of what you’ll be doing in the upcoming PlayStation Vita game.
Uppers is all about the beat ‘em up action, where you’ll fight on an island with no rules. The commands are simple, so you won’t need to worry about any complicated combos. Instead, you can beat enemies to your satisfaction, however you’d like.
When it comes to beating up the bad guys, you won’t be limited to melee attacks, as you can basically do anything else from throwing them through walls, to throwing items at them to deal big damage. Apparently you can also blow them up with helicopters, too.
The girls will be there to provide you with cheers, and the more they cheer you on, the more it’ll pump you up and provide you with benefits in battle. There are also some other extra bonuses you can get from the girls.
Here are two main guys that will show up to fight dudes and pick up chicks in Uppers:
