The TakeOver is an indie beat 'em up video game developed by Greek developer Pelikan13 (Antonis Pelekanos) and published by Dangen Entertainment. It was released for Windows and MacOS on February 2, 2016 in early access, seeing a full release on November 10, 2019. It was subsequently released for Nintendo Switch on June 4, 2020 and PlayStation 4 on May 20, 2021.[1] The game is a clone of the Streets of Rage series that uses similar gameplay and graphical style, also featuring some music by that series' composer, Yuzo Koshiro. The game received mixed reviews, with some critics bemoaning the writing quality and lack of gameplay polish or online multiplayer, though they agreed it was a worthwhile homage.
The TakeOver is a side-scrolling game with a story told via comic-book-style cutscenes. The game involves pressing X to win. The game also features minigames such as vehicle driving and jet piloting in a manner resembling After Burner: Climax.[2]
