The Showdown Effect is a 2.5D multiplayer action game inspired by 80’s and 90’s action movies where champions from different eras of time fight to the death, for fun, for glory and for awesome. Players will battle for the upper hand through cunning use of different weapons, the game's wide range dynamic environments and even the engine's own dramatic audiovisual effects.

From what I've seen so far, The Showdown Effect is finally going to give PCs and Macs a game in the veins of Super Smash Brothers. Characters are cliche 80s/90s action film stars, duking it out for cliche 80s/90s action movie reasons. Developed by Arrowhead Game Studios (creators of Magicka) and Pixeldiet Entertainment, and being published by Paradox Interactive, The Showdown Effect is currently aiming for release in March 2013 on Steam, for $10. More importantly, it's gone into beta today.
