Evaluation

Skinny & Franko: Fists of Violence launched on April 28, 2023 as a complete beat 'em up game. Since launch, the developer (Blue Sunset Games) has been actively maintaining it with patches addressing bugs, balance adjustments, and quality-of-life improvements. Two notable content updates arrived post-launch: a "Classic Arcade" mode added on August 28, 2023, and a larger version 2.0.0 update on December 19, 2025 that introduced a new Hardcore Arcade mode, new boss fight content, visual enhancements, and various gameplay additions. A hotfix (2.0.1) followed on June 11, 2026 to address bugs introduced by the 2.0.0 update. There are no unreleased DLC listings, no announced future content, and no developer statements pointing to additional planned expansions or updates. The store description presents the game as a self-contained experience with a defined feature set. The game launched as a complete product and the 2.0.0 update, followed closely by a stability hotfix, appears to represent the culmination of post-launch improvements rather than the beginning of an ongoing content cycle. No further content has been announced.

About this game

28 years after the events of 'Franko: The Crazy Revenge', titular anti-hero Franko returns to Poland to get his old friend out of trouble. This time also he will not go easy on his enemies...

Now, with help of his pal Skinny, Franko will wreak havoc in the streets of Szczecin once again.

Skinny & Franko: Fists of Violence is an outstanding and brutal 2D beat'em'up game. Designed by a creator of cult classics like 'Franko: The Crazy Revenge' or 'Doman: Sins of Ardan' that were popular in the 90's on Amiga and PC.

Features:
- play on 8 intense and packed with enemies and boss fights, hand-drawn main stages with a few bonus levels and secret locations
- dive into the story and find out what happened to Skinny and Franko's friend 'Shorty'
- 30k frames of hand-drawn, old-school animations
- use over 50 different weapons and special attacks to beat your enemies
- fight over 80 different bullies and morons (no reskins!)
- hand drawn and animated characters in a unique, own style
- car driving and shooting mini-games
- tons of humor and bad language in game
- play solo or in 2-player coop mode

The unique graphical setting, being a combination of a realistic world and satire, create a specific atmosphere, that you will find only here.
