Streets of Rage met a lady at the bar one night. Her name was Body Snatchers. After a few drinks and a good conversation they made like Will Smith and got jiggy with it, resulting in what would later be named Coffee Crisis!!

The Smurglian race has invaded our planet in order to obtain Earth’s four most precious commodities: music, the best coffee, cat videos and all of the WI-FI! Nick and Ashley, two coffee baristas, must stop them from taking over the best music: metal!!

Coffee Crisis is a 90s influenced, arcade-style brawler. Play solo or couch co-op with a pal and fight your way through hordes of aliens and old people (who are also aliens). Conquer over 8 locations using weapons, special moves, suplexes and a good cup of joe.

Features include:

Classic side-scrolling beat ‘em up action that feels better than you remember

2 playable baristas, each with their own attributes and alien-crushing special moves

Destroy and throw a variety of environmental objects and even enemies

Collect coffee-themed powerups and weapons for an espresso shot of action

Gorgeous hand drawn and hand-animated sprites and backgrounds true to Sega Genesis specifications

Unlockable mini-games to boost high scores

Visit Pittsburgh landmarks like the Duquesne Incline, PNC Park, and Grandview Boulevard

A soundtrack featuring original music by Pittsburgh metal band Greywalker

Already averted the crisis? Come back for more in Death Metal Mode, where the difficulty is cranked to 11!

Encounter random modifiers that could make you an invincible killing machine or summon a swarm of raging possessed cowgirls! You’ll never experience the same cup of cosmic coffee carnage twice!

Twitch/Mixer integration lets you enjoy the game while keeping both hands on your coffee cup!

Coffee Crisis is available on Steam and Sega Genesis. You read that right. Sega Genesis. How’s that for 90s?!
