Resident Evil meets Street Fighter. That medium-built guy looks very much like Leon in the game than in the CG. With all the nice kicks, punches, guns, and him dealing with monsters in Chapter 4, this game could be a fun DLC for any RE remasters. That fireball comes out of his hand w/ good damage looks neat and familiar, and the blast when you get full energy is stunning. I had some fun playing, the hits feel strong and satisfying, with good visuals. However there aren't enough enemy kinds, just longer health bars and the walkthrough feels repeated. In my opinion, if the main campaign is about 1/2 - 2/3 of current length it might be better. Overall it's worth a try, at least on discount for $3.99.

Genuinely good game. More Streets of Rage than Streets of Rage 4. The graphics are a bit rough around the edges, and I would like to have seen more combos. But it feels good. Hopefully a Takeover 2 will be released that improves on this one. This game can actually become a cult classic if the devs take it seriously.

A city at crime mercy, kidnaps, police with low resources and patience to read citizen rights on arrest...welcome to The Takeover. Dispite mixed opinions about the title cinematics I must say the comic style is quite polished and adds up quality to the neon colored stages. If you are familiar to Vendetta and The Punisher Arcade titles you probably will recognize the gameplay here. In short, as hours went by I got more and more satisfied with the decision to buy The Takeover. A side bonus I think is fair to mention is the superb graphic effects of weapons, most likely the best I have seen Pros -» Gameplay: Special abilities are very powerful and the availability of a handgun at all times is a plus -» Soundtrack and sound effects: Cool grooves from some of the best authors -» Graphics: Magnificent in terms of backgrounds, character, ammo and explosions detail -» Bosses: Simple mechanics that get more interesting as you get near the final fight -» Replayability: Good if you want to play all characters and co op -» Difficulty: Moderate Cons -» None worth the bother to allude to SUMMARY: 8/10 gaming scale Disclosure: As I comeback for new sessions or new updates arise by developers, I intend to keep revising this review

The TakeOver looks very strange compared to a lot of the other beat 'em ups out there. It's not a traditional pixel style (Fight 'N Rage), and it's not a cartoon style either (Castle Crashers). Instead it's this weird 2.5D looking game that takes awhile to get used to. However, once you finally get past the werdness it grows on you and is actually one of the better beat 'em ups on Steam. It features local co-op, and the game is much longer than some of the other games in the genre. It runs perfectly on the Steam Deck. Altough, a little rought around the edges, if you are a fan of the genre I would definitely recommend the TakeOver.
