Well-known App Store developers, The Game Bakers, have released four new fighters for their popular iOS game Combo Crew, through their collaboration with Capcom. After Viewtiful Joe, the new characters are Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li and Blanka from Street Fighter. To celebrate the addition of these new fighters, a new version of Combo Crew has been released. The update also features big improvements to the gameplay mechanics — the possibility to counter in the middle of a combo as well as being attacked by multiple enemies at once. Previously the game was available for $1.99, but to celebrate the addition of the new fighters, it is temporarily free on the App Store. If you want to get these new fighters though, they are available via an in-app purchase of $0.99 each.

Here’s a trailer demoing the new update:

“Combo Crew is a tribute to the best fighting games of the 90s” says Emeric Thoa, creative director at The Game Bakers. “So having our favorite Street Fighter characters in the game was like a dream. Also after adding in heroes from Squids, Another World and Viewtiful Joe, we had to finish with a big punch!”

Independent developer The Game Bakers has finally released their much anticipated game, Combo Crew, a high-energy beat ’em up just released for iPhone and iPad. Starting today, the game can be downloaded for $1.99 from the App Store.

A brawler in the spirit of arcade-era fighting games like Street Fighter, Final Fight, and Streets of Rage, Combo Crew was designed especially for today’s mobile gamers. The touch controls are smooth and intuitive, so your fingers do all the fighting with no virtual D-pad to get in the way. Quick arena-style levels and a tower level structure make Combo Crew perfect for gamers on the go, while tons of unlockables and an “endless” mode keep the crew coming back for more.

Trapped in an industrial tower by the maniacal Mr. Boss, the planet’s top heroes must fight their way to freedom one level at a time. In solo mode you face off against swarms of bad guys to master each character’s unique fighting style and special moves, unleash crazy combo streaks and try for a high score to win the gold medal. In the co-op “Combo Crew mode” the fun kicks into high gear when friends team up to rescue and revive each other from KO. Best of all, this asynchronous multiplayer is cross-platform, so iOS and Android users can play together as part of the same crew.

Features:

• Fight with your fingers: slash enemies to trigger crazy combos, tap to guard. A modern beat ’em up with no virtual D-pad!
• The first mobile brawler with asynchronous multiplayer across devices. Rescue your friends, or be rescued by them!
• A true arcade experience with a great combo system and super moves.
• Several heroes with unique combat styles and more than 80 moves to master.
• Hundreds of missions – complete them solo or compete for high scores against online friends.
• An endless scoring mode, unlockables, and collectibles – a ton of replay value.
• Log in to sync automatically between your devices.
• Languages: English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese.

Coming in May to an iOS device near you is Combo Crew — a blast-from-the-past fighting game that brings the arcade action of the 80s and 90s into the new millennium. Combo Crew is the latest game from The Game Bakers, the developers that made the popular RPG, SQUIDS.

Key features:

• No virtual D-pad. Pure fight! How come mobile beat ’em ups are never as much fun as the old days at the arcade? It’s because virtual D-pads suck. But Combo Crew’s responsive controls are fully designed for touch: one-finger swipe to punch and kick, tap to counter attack, and two-finger swipe for special combo moves. In Combo Crew, your fingers do the fighting — because real brawlers don’t need buttons.
• Asynchronous co-op on any device. Combo Crew also has a solo mode, but the game’s at its best when played with friends. Compete for high scores, rescue each other from K.O., and reach the top of the tower with the help of your crew — no matter what device you’re using. For the first time ever, iOS and Android gamers can brawl together in harmony.
• Old school fighting for today’s mobile crowd. Inspired by classics like Streets of Rage, Final Fight, and Street Fighter, Combo Crew pulls traditional beat ’em ups into the 21st century with an arena structure ideal for quick play sessions, multiple game modes (including single-player, co-op, and “endless”), and plenty of power-ups and bonus moves to unlock.
