Everything you need to cover Back on Your Feet, the flagship game from ProbablyBenGames. Grab the full media pack below.

Description

A single player boxing action-adventure game that follows a story of redemption. Your path back to the top will not be an easy one, as you must face dangerous foes, master a fast-paced combat system, and make heavy decisions that dictate your story.

You play as Ken, a boxer who was at the top of his game in America but lost it all and moved overseas. Despite moving away, it seems as though Ken cannot outrun his boxing days. Instead of continuing to flee, Ken decides to embrace the past and return to the sport by entering a boxing tournament.

Back on Your Feet is a 2D fighter built on a rich story of redemption. Through the game you will face a multitude of opponents, each more ferocious and cunning than the last. You will have to adapt to each fighting style and avoid getting caught by their punches. Along the way you will meet characters who will assist your journey and become someone you can call a friend. Despite help, your path back to the top will not be an easy one, as you must face dangerous foes, master a combat system built on precision dodging, and make heavy decisions that dictate your story, all begging the question: do you have what it takes to get back on your feet?
