About the Game
28 years after the events of ‘Franko: The Crazy Revenge’, titular anti-hero Franko returns to Poland to get his old friend out of trouble. This time also he will not go easy on his enemies…
Now, with help of his pal Skinny, Franko will wreak havoc in the streets of Szczecin once again.
Skinny & Franko: Fists of Violence is an outstanding and brutal 2D beat’em’up game. Designed by a creator of cult classics like ‘Franko: The Crazy Revenge’ or ‘Doman: Sins of Ardan’ that were popular in the 90’s on Amiga and PC.
Features:
– play on 8 intense and packed with enemies and boss fights, hand-drawn main stages with a few bonus levels and secret locations
– dive into the story and find out what happened to Skinny and Franko’s friend ‘Shorty’
– 30k frames of hand-drawn, old-school animations
– use over 50 different weapons and special attacks to beat your enemies
– fight over 80 different bullies and morons (no reskins!)
– hand drawn and animated characters in a unique, own style
– car driving and shooting mini-games
– tons of humor and bad language in game
– play solo or in 2-player coop mode
The unique graphical setting, being a combination of a realistic world and satire, create a specific atmosphere, that you will find only here.

This game's art style looks incredible in motion and is a proper evolution of the original Amiga game's crude graphics. If you love beat-em-ups, this is a must own. The grimy look of the game, the harsh dialogue/audio and hamfisted street fights compliment one another quite well! Lots of weapons and tons of ways to take out legions of street thugs.

Big bruised thumbs up!
+ Counterculture style of Polish 90s.
+ Environment interaction finishers. You can be a real street violence artist.
+ Surprisingly deep mechanics. I only recently discovered face-stab finisher.
+ Meaty combat with good sound design. Combat with regular enemies is top-notch.
- Boss and miniboss design is... not great, it can be really frustrating. Tip: Use counter and grab attacks on bosses. Minibosses vary.
- Can be janky.
Bonus - it can be used as an interactive map of Szczecin, the most Polish city in Poland, known for its beautiful golden beaches and refined cuisine (like Fryburger).

Game is great, I feel like playing first Franko on my Amiga 30 years ago.

Short Version:
Rough around the edges but fun
Long Version:
SUPER rough around the edges but VERY fun...
This game is eurojank to the extreme but if you are willing to figure things out it is SO worth it. The violence really adds a level of satisfaction.

So much fun so far.
Great beat-em-up.
I love the localization and colorful characters.
Recommended if you like Double Dragon type games.
