The streets of Big Smoke City aren’t for the faint-hearted. Gang lords and their thugs rule, and there’s danger around every corner. The city doesn’t need a hero, it needs someone who is tough and rough enough to take on the scum that festers in the streets. The city needs some RAGING JUSTICE.
It’s just what gritty maverick cops Rage and Justice are ready to take on.
Rick Justice (Height: 6’1”, Age: 41): Rick is a cop who’s been on the force for as long as anyone can remember and he’s damn good at it. That being said, he hasn’t got to where he is by playing by the rules: he tends to punch first and ask questions later.
Nikki Rage (Height: 5’9”, Age: 31): Nikki is a highly skilled, ex-military combatant with a knack for getting herself into sticky situations. However, she gets the job done and has the highest conviction record on the force.
Battle your way through hordes of thugs, unleashing maximum brutality with Rick Justice and Nikki Rage’s savage fighting styles as you choose whether to arrest or annihilate your foes. Whether you play as good cop or bad cop has consequences and will result in a different ending to the game.
Raging Justice is coming to Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch, PC and Mac on May 8, 2018.
Also announced is a third playable character: Ashley King, a street-smart inner-city kid with a backpack full of whoop ass.
The streets of Big Smoke City aren’t safe for anyone, let alone a kid and so it’s a good job that Ashley King isn’t just any kid. Raised under the constant fear of gang violence, Ash had to grow up and grow up fast. Drawing influence from action movie heroes, Ash has developed a fast and lethal fighting style that takes enemies by surprise.
NAME: Ashley King
HEIGHT: 5’5”
AGE: 15
INFO: Ash’s inner-city upbringing was blighted by the fear of gang violence. Fast and lethal, Ash learned to fight on the streets, using movies as inspiration for an arsenal of lethal moves including a signature Crane Kick finisher.“We realized that Raging Justice needed a third playable character and we wanted someone who would fit the style of the game yet give a very different feel when playing.” Said Nic Makin, lead programmer of MakinGames. Jay Howse, lead artist, added “We chose a teenager because I wanted something different to the usual 'veteran cop/ex-military' type. I wanted more of a fish out of water type character, someone who might have ended up in the situation by accident but still manages to hold their own and kick some serious arse!”
