Cartoon Beat 'em Up 'Underling Uprising' Has Risen Up on Consoles and Steam

Team up and take out the evil scientist who gave you mutant powers.

Sometimes, workers just really resent their bosses. The boss looks down on them, asks them to do too much, and never provides substantial raises. Who wouldn't want to rise up and overthrow the tyrannical boss? Well, that's not what Underling Uprising is about. Oh no, this game is about a group of test subjects who rebel against the mad scientist who empowered them. This fresh, new beat em up (and Kickstarter success story) comes from Dummy Dojo and Abylight Studios, and it features 4-player local co-op.

Features: Up to 4-Player Local Co-Op and Versus Modes! Unique playstyle, moveset and specials for each character. Cartoon inspired designs and animations, with a killer OST. Explore 7 lengthy stages spanning the world (and even further)! Face multiple difficulties and huge bosses, for those seeking more challenge! Beat your high score in Arcade Mode! Pick up temporary weapons and vehicles to spice up combat!

The game has a pleasant and colorful art style, and there seems to be lots of personality too. The lack of online play is a drag but not surprising for a game at this price point. What's more, the Steam version supports Remote Play Together, so two PC players can team up remotely while using only one copy of the game. We'll try to give Underling Uprising a spin and get back to you... If only our whip-cracking bosses will give us some time to breathe for once!

Underling Uprising costs $14.99 on Xbox Series, PlayStation 5, Switch, and Steam.
