Designed to introduce new players to fighting games, Resistance 204X is an indie video game currently in development for PC and mobile devices.The objective is simple: defeat your opponent and run forward as fast as you can. If you manage to cross the finish line at the end of the stage, you have won the match!
The characters are controlled only with directions and two attack buttons, making the game very easy to learn. However, the fast pacing pushes the player to train his instant reaction, prediction, and deception, while at the same time, the platforming and the win condition encourage strategic positioning, resulting in deep and interesting gameplay.
LoreResistance 204X takes place in a dystopian future, where society no longer operates in the real world, but in a virtual reality - VR - metaverse called Akkadia, owned by Facecorp, a mega-corporation that has a monopoly on the world market.
On the other hand, we have "The Resistance", a small secret organization that plans to overthrow Sargon7 of his reign by taking away his administrator privileges. To accomplish this goal, they must win the fighting tournament in order to enter the control system. Zer0, the protagonist and first playable character of the game, is a secret agent of The Resistance, who trains day and night to win the tournament and successfully carry out the plan.Motivation"I think fighting games have become unnecessarily complicated by putting obstacles that keep new players away. For me, fighting games are about mental dexterity, strategic positioning, gaining momentum by predicting and deceiving your opponent," says Julio Quiroz, the game's developer. He adds "it shouldn't be necessary to practice for weeks and get bullied over and over again for not knowing how to execute basic moves. Resistance 204X is my attempt to bring the mind-game behind fighting games to the general public and therefore grow the incredible fighting game community".
Future PlansJulio, the Chilean developer of the game, has been in Germany for almost a year working on this project and plans to have an early access demo available for PC in Q4 2022.
