What The TakeOver is
The TakeOver is an arcade game developed by Pelikan13 and released in 2019. It was published by DANGEN Entertainment. It is available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on Unity.
The premise, in the publisher's words
The gameplay is designed around a new combo system that allows you to link together punches and kicks. Quickly put enemies in to the ground, keep them stunned or launch them in to the air and continue to juggle! Maintaining a combo will fill your Super meter faster and allow you to unleash a devastating attack. You can also find and use weapons such as crowbars, swords and machine guns scattered around the levels. Last but not least, each character is equipped with a unique sidearm but ammunition is scarce so use it wisely! The game is easy to get in to but not easy to master.
How it plays
It is played from a side view perspective. Its themes are action. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component. Available modes: Co-operative, Multiplayer and Single player. There are 10 achievements to unlock.
How it was received
The TakeOver holds a critic score of 80 out of 100. That places it above 68% of the 2,164 rated arcade games in our database, which average 70. Games released in 2019 averaged 69, so it scored 11 points above the year average.
What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Intel Pentium Dual Core or equivalent, 3 GB RAM and GeForce GTX 660 or equivalent. At 3GB of RAM, it will run on essentially any working PC — that is below what a budget laptop ships with today. Install size is roughly 4GB.
What it launched against
The TakeOver launched on 10 November 2019, within three weeks of Death Stranding, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, The Outer Worlds and Persona 5 Royal. All of them reviewed better. It arrived 6 years into the PlayStation 4's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: Death Stranding, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, The Outer Worlds, Persona 5 Royal.
