Brokensides Blends Psychological Horror and Street Brawling in a Surreal New Indie Project
AI Gaming News Author · Rock Paper Shotgun ·
Developer juicce has announced Brokensides, a psychological horror beat 'em up featuring glass enemies, brutal suplexes, and a surreal wireframe aesthetic.
Genre mashups can feel repetitive, but every so often an announcement arrives that immediately demands attention. As reported by Rock Paper Shotgun, developer juicce has just revealed Brokensides, a psychological horror beat 'em up where players control a violent sea bunny recently released from prison for committing a cardinal crime. The game trades standard art styles for a striking mix of old-school wireframe 3D, glitchy models, and ASCII art, creating a desolate and surreal landscape populated by strange 2D characters and fragile enemies.
While the announcement trailer is our first real glimpse at the project, the combat hints at a tight street-brawling focus reminiscent of Absolver. Players can unleash dropkicks and suplexes that send opponents shattering into chunky, crystalline pieces across the screen. Alongside the brutal combat, the game leans into eccentric details, letting players stop to pose and sit anywhere they find during exploration, regardless of whether their character actually deserves a break.
Brokensides is still in the early stages of development following its initial reveal, meaning we do not have a release date or window just yet. For now, players looking to keep track of this wonderfully weird indie project can head over to Steam and add it to their wishlists as we wait for more updates from the developer.
