Deathwish Enforcers - A Bombastic & Racy Arcade Game inspired by 70's Action Movies & Sunset Riders!

[@AlphaBetaGamer]

For this vid I've selected a different playable character for each level to show off their style and weapons. They all have unique special moves too (the James Bond one releases Dr Evil style lasers with sharks on their heads!) Also, Deathwish Enforcers: SE is out now on Steam, but you need to log into Steam to see the Steam page. It's because Steam classes it as an adult game just because it has a few nipples in it (you can't view any adult games on Steam without logging in first to verify your age).

[@wizards-themagicalconcert5048]

Thanks for the video ,really appreciated!

[@MonsterBathGamesInc]

Thanks for playing our game! We hope you enjoyed it!

[@AlphaBetaGamer]

@@MonsterBathGamesInc You're welcome! Love the game. So many great little references and the action is relentless. Awesome work! :)

[@MonsterBathGamesInc]

@@AlphaBetaGamer Thank you!! We’re glad you had fun with it. It’s a shame it had to get tossed behind an age gate on Steam. It’s really not that bad compared to where I was going to go with some of the art 🤣 The sequel is already being designed. Bringing back aged versions of the original characters with a couple of new ones. Set in the 80s - there will undoubtedly be more cocaine use in the game! Again thank you!! 🙏

[@cesarhernandez6861]

I. Must. Buy. This. Game!

[@DrossRotzank]

Masterpiece of a game. Thank you so much to the creators for making this. I hope it's profitable enough for them. I want to see more games like this!

[@MonsterBathGamesInc]

Thank you! Time will tell if it's profitable - it's only been out a few days. I've got a sequel lined up for this (in the 80s) and 3 other games in the works.

​@@MonsterBathGamesInc The game looks excellent like the old-school Arcade KONAMI platformers, but the music and especially boss themes are boring and underwhelming (with an exception to the "Payday" 32:08 which sounds cool and intense). Boss themes need to be intense, fearsome & sinister and convey powerful emotions and feelings and deliver a sense of urgency due to the hectic situation fighting the boss and all, like KONAMI's TMNT In Time and Mega Man Zero's - Crash awesome boss tracks. So keep that in mind for your next 1980s sequel, which could feature a more synth-wave OST very common in the 80s. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jICYhZSCl92nr9U kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4qlgXpol9CBmpI

@@MonsterBathGamesInc Don't listen to the trolls and haters. The soundtrack is great, especially in mission 2. The 70's vibes. It's a matter of opinions.

I wouldn't say the other commenters a hater, just one of those opinion-sharers, but it is a matter of opinion. I thought the OST was great, can we get a release? 😁@@MonsterBathGamesInc

[@mindlessgonzo]

Oh lord, all the references. Bond movies, Dirty Harry, Foxy Brown, the Charles Bronson flicks, Shining, Arnold's movies... this is a great reference-filled shoot-em-up!

[@Pocketrocket-pj1us]

My favorite, is when he beats Jack N. And then you hear him say, 'you gave me an enema.' Now that's a,multi movie references. Obviously we get the shinning alreastbut also a play on his line as The Joker, in Batman (1989) When, around the parade, the joker days, 'this town needs an enema.., Good Job!!

[@alnu8355]

The only thing they're missing is a playable mohawked guy named Rob. A Marine Vet who fought in Vietnam and returned home to New York. To make ends meet, he picked up work as a taxi driver...were upon he just got too sick of the city's filth and corruption... uses a .44 Magnum and .38 special.

I would say this is in the era of the 70s gritty action films. And I recognize most these characters are based off.

[@damageinc.5458]

Nah dude, it's totally the 70's.

[@jooch_exe]

This ticks all the boxes for arcade style. They absolutely nailed the sound design.

That gunshot sound is classic .44 Magnum movie style.

Were those sharks with frickin' lasers on their heads?!? Also, 10:07 She killed our humble narrator!!! Well, we can all guess why lol

[@tattooeddragon]

That 70’s “Made for TV Movie” soundtrack puts the icing on the cake to this masterpiece 😁

[@Blackshroom]

Went from Sunset Riders to Night Slashers lmfao awesome

[@huaxiong1990]

I think stage 3 is more Metal Slug (zombie stages) and Splatterhouse-esque. But yes, you could argue that too with the zombie death animations.

[@vinterskog]

Reminds me of good old Sly Spy on Atari ST, with a dash of Broforce. Funny to see likeness of 70-80's Eastwood, Nicholson, Schwarzie and Grace Jones.

[@TheHonesttruth123]

This game is a masterpiece! Needs to be in every game collection from A to Zimbabwe! 😂

[@Redneck_Hero]

Ah yes. Filthy Larry and 000 Max Pond. My favorite duo

[@anthonyleblanc9723]

The Ron Jeremy bossfight got a good laugh outta me lol

[@Sqwallbg]

Ah lol it's Sunset Riders with a different skin. Even has the girls with dynamite, the stampede (only with bikes instead) etc. Nice - very nice. That was a very nice arcade back in the day.

That was freaking great. Just long enough to feel like an accomplishment, but not so long that it becomes a drag. Great pixel artwork, basic but fun mechanics (rocket-boot jump powers: ACTIVATE!!!), and a trope storyline that has you smirking the entire time. I take it up another letter grade due to the inclusion of jiggy-jump pixel lady pillows.

[@PopMusicKiller]

Love it when games nail the arcade aesthetic.

[@shelbyherring92]

Sunset Riders but with Dirty Harry, Death Wish, Foxxy Brown, and James Bond? Sign me up! Edit: They didn't have to do Grace Jones like that🤣

[@leandronc]

So cool! Sunsetriders and Rolling Thunder are not what we usually see as inspirations in retro games, but they definitely deserve the homage, some of my favorites back in the day.

[@PositiveBrothaHakeem]

New games in the style of classics like Sunset Riders, Contra, Rolling Thunder, & Shinobi are always welcome, and the gritty '70s Action/Blaxploitation aesthetic & references were also a nice touch. Not to mention the 'Are You Covered?' billboards in Mission One are a reference to a similar sign in 'Crime Fighters,' a 1989 Beat 'Em Up by Konami.
