▶ PLAY GAME

Lisbon, 2145. Tom Barden sells a synthetic called Azul to half the city and has been sampling it himself for twenty years. Ten fights stand between you and the top of his tower.

Pick a brother. Benjamin Wallace boxes out of a gym under the Alcantara flyover: slow, armoured, and his HAYMAKER goes through whatever you put in front of it. Joseph Wallace is not a fighter in any recognised sense, but he is quick, and his FIRE FART is a full-screen projectile that nobody ever blocks the first time.

The ladder runs through the city: Tuk-Tuk Rui at Praca do Comercio, the Alfama Ghost on the steps, the Fishmonger on the docks at Cais do Sodre, Fado Duarte in Bairro Alto, Tram 28 at the Bica funicular, a bought policeman at Rossio, the Chemist in the Beato lab district, O Touro under the 25 de Abril bridge, and Jeffrey Thompson - the Thompson family’s underboss, and the man who does Barden’s thinking - at Belem. Then the tower.

Everyone has a special. Hold back to block, and remember that a sweep beats a standing guard while an overhead beats a crouching one.
