Freshly plucked from the fiery depths of the deepest darkest abyss, Headbang Club has announced that Double Kick Heroes will be released on August 13th on Nintendo Switch and Steam, to follow on Game Pass for PC and Xbox on the 28th.
Double Kick Heroes is an explosive mashup of a shoot’em up with a frenetic rhythm game backed by an awesome METAL tune! It was inspired by the worlds of Q.Tarantino, S. King, and R.Rodriguez. Lead your band on an explosive road trip through the wasteland, blast zombies with your Gundillac, and crush them with the power of METAL. The game packs in 50 songs, 30 original, 20 from established bands, half a dozen chapters of adventures, and a community level editor that will allow any music to be played to the rhythm of exploding zombie skulls.
“Man, it’s been a long journey but we’re pumped to be finally sharing Double Kick Heroes with you all. We hope that you love our game as much as we do and enjoy the kick-ass soundtrack we’ve put together to celebrate all things metal. We can’t wait for people to try out air controls for Nintendo Switch which is a heap load of metallic fun, but please drum responsibly”.
