Evaluation
99Vidas launched on December 22, 2016 as a 6-stage beat 'em up, and received several feature updates and bug fixes through 2017. On November 5, 2020, the developer announced a forthcoming "Definitive Edition" update via a livestream, teasing features previously exclusive to console versions. On July 28, 2021, the Definitive Edition update went live, delivering new stages, a new Arcade Mode, a new Remix Mode, new enemies, and visual customization options — representing the largest content addition in the game's history. No further content has been announced or released since that update, and the developer's communications have been silent on new content plans. The sole DLC is a soundtrack pack released on January 11, 2017. The store description still references "6 stages (with more to come)" — language that predates the Definitive Edition — but the Definitive Edition update itself delivered the additional stages that promise referred to, fulfilling the original commitment.

About this game
Every gaming generation had its hallmark -- and "99Vidas" recaptures them all!
Final Fight, Double Dragon, Battletoads, Streets of Rage… What do all of these games have in common? They all represent the glory of the "beat 'em up" genre, a staple of gaming in the 80's and 90's. Developer QUByte Interactive took inspiration from all of the the unforgetable notes from that game style to proudly bring you "99Vidas".
"99Vidas" is a brawler set in a contemporary world, but that pays tribute to both the classic and the new in the gaming industry. Brought to you in 16-bit pixelated glory, chock-full of references to not only gaming but also 80's and 90's pop culture. "99Vidas" takes full advantage modern era gameplay mechanics, making it the best of both worlds.
6 stages (with more to come) will take you on a journey to different parts of the world to face hordes of fierce enemies and relentless bosses, but you don’t have to do it alone: you can face this challenge with up to 3 other players in co-op play, both local and online.
