You’re the hope of the last bastion of humanity. Jump into your Gundillac, Sheila and grab hold of the wheel – it’s time to take on everything a post-apocalyptic, metal inspired rhythm shooter can throw at you, whilst moshing to the sickest heavy metal soundtrack in a game to date.

“To celebrate the release of the game on Nintendo Switch, we thought we’d ramp the metal up to a whole new level and teach you the power of Double Air Kicking.” David Elahee – Headbang Club. “But be warned, this mode isn’t for the faint of heart – so please double air kick responsibly!”

Double Kick Heroes is available now, priced at €21.99 / £19.79 / $21.99 on Nintendo Switch & $19.99 / €19.99 / £15.49 on Steam.
