Get you Early Access version, and let the developers know what you think about the game, help it become better, and also help them create planned features to come, that include:

New Heroes! Were they in a film or TV series in the 80’s? Then they’ll get a chance for their true story to be told in Tango Fiesta. You tell us which heroes you want to play as, and we’ll do our best to honour them! We’ll have more heroes than Dillon has cigars!

New worlds! Explore and save an almost endless variety of dystopian, scifi, fantasy, urban, jungle, forest, tropical, desert and derelict environments the only way a true action hero knows how – with violence! It’s enough to make even John Matrix feel ‘dead tired’!

New Weapons! You can’t be a real action hero without enough weaponry to make even the most self-indulgent gearing-up montage quake in fear! Pistols, machineguns, shotguns, beam weapons, thrown objects. We’ve built all the systems, now we just need to know what you want to see first!

XP and upgrade system! Use the XP rewarded for kills to upgrade your hero between worlds, making him or her faster than Frank Dux’s split kick, more powerful than Dutch’s biceps, and tougher than Bennett’s chainmail vest!

Vehicles! It wasn’t just Max who got to go Mad on the highway – with helicopters, jeeps, tanks, gunboats and anything else we can squeeze in, you’ll be far more than just another Road Warrior! Then again, where we’re going, we won’t (necessarily) need roads.

Storyline! Although our main inspirations are better known for their snappy one liners over their well developed character arcs we’re taking the opportunity to set the world to rights. Help John Strong as he unveils the true story behind all of your favourite classic 1980’s action flicks. Go with him if you want to believe!

Bosses! Every Quaid needs his Richter. Every Ripley needs her Alien Queen. Every Matrix needs his Bennett. We’re going to cover you in so many iconic, hilarious, over the top and challenging bosses you’ll wish you’d never promised to rescue the president’s daughter/defeat the communists/save the world.

Founder of Spilt Milk Studios Andrew J Smith, says, “I’m indescribably happy, and absolutely terrified all at the same time. This game means a lot to everyone working on it – more than perhaps you’d normally associate with an over the top arcade action shooter like this – but I mean it when I say it has been and remains a labour of love. I can’t wait to see what people think of the game, to hear what the fans want from us over the coming months, and to make Tango Fiesta the game we all know it can be. It’s a dream come true for the whole team.”
