Anarchy Reigns
About the Game
Anarchy Reigns is a third-person brawler fighting game where players choose one of the sixteen available fighters to duke it out in large arenas. Each character is defined through different types of weak and strong attacks with a trademark weapon, a specific fighting style, throws, and different moves that can be chained into combos. They also have access to a move that clears the surrounding area and many moves are very violent and over the top. It is possible to lock on to a single character and performing evasive actions.
Story & Setting
It is split up into two parts, one for Jack Cayman, the Gator Tooth double chainsaw-wielding protagonist from MadWorld and one for Leonhardt "Leo" Victorion,—a new character—an agent of the Bureau's Strike One unit who wields positron blades that can be charged. At certain points the campaigns cross over.
Gameplay & Core Systems
There is also a singleplayer campaign that largely shares the assets of the multiplayer environments. In the single-player portion there are many hub areas where a certain amount of enemies need to be defeated in order to progress and enter new missions. After the four stages of each campaign (White and Black), Red is opened up as an additional one.
