<p><em><a class="notion-link-token notion-enable-hover" href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/887450/Tunche/" target="_blank">Tunche</a></em>, named after a powerful creature in the game, is a co-op beat&#8217;em up full of charming art and smooth, exciting combat that comes with a graded combat counter reminiscent of <em><a class="notion-link-token notion-enable-hover" href="https://bagogames.com/retro-review-devil-may-cry/" target="_blank">Devil May Cry</a></em>. The <em>Tunche</em> release date is later this month on March 23, 2021, and will be coming to PC and Switch. Looking at the great art and gameplay, it&#8217;s no wonder its <a class="notion-link-token notion-enable-hover" href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/leapgs/tunche" target="_blank">Kickstarter</a> got over 1000 backers and more than $55,000 in pledges.</p>
<p>Playing as one of five tough, yet somehow cute-looking characters, you traverse through the Amazonian rainforest to tussle with diverse enemies in vibrant environments.</p>
<p>The end goal of all the fighting? To find and defeat the mysterious and dangerous Tunche.</p>

<h2>Co-op Gameplay and Combat</h2>
<p>The gameplay is fairly straightforward: you punch, kick, stab, and do some magic to fight your way through the wild mass of jungle that lays before you, stopping on occasion only to rest briefly around a campfire with your group of friends. As you progress through the land of <em>Tunche</em>, you&#8217;re also able to upgrade skills and the world itself — you&#8217;ll need it to face the challenging multi-stage bosses promised in previews.</p>
<p>This game is also perfect for those still stuck in their homes all day due to lockdowns as teaming up for a co-op adventure in <em>Tunche</em> is a good way to get in some fun quality time with friends. Up to five friends can play, roam, and fight through four different procedurally-generated worlds together.</p>

<h2>A Comic Book Narrative</h2>
<p>Despite all the combat, this game isn&#8217;t at all without a story as you get to know the characters in comic book-style cutscenes in between fights. Whenever you select a different character to play, which you can choose to do after completing a chapter for the currently selected character, another story will open up. There is always more to discover about the characters and their adventure with each chapter you play through.</p>
