PR - Rev those engines, Double Kick Heroes is firing on all cylinders on Switch today

Thursday 13th of August, 2020, Angoulême, France. It's with great pleasure to announce that Headbang Club’s Double Kick Heroes is now available on Nintendo Switch and Steam. The game will then release on Game Pass for PC and Xbox One and the Xbox and Microsoft Store on the 28th.

You're the hope of the last bastion of humanity. Jump into your Gundillac, Sheila and grab hold of the wheel - it's time to take on everything a post-apocalyptic, metal inspired rhythm shooter can throw at you, whilst moshing to the sickest heavy metal soundtrack in a game to date.

“To celebrate the release of the game on Nintendo Switch, we thought we’d ramp the metal up to a whole new level and teach you the power of Double Air Kicking.” David Elahee - Headbang Club. “But be warned, this mode isn’t for the faint of heart - so please double air kick responsibly!”

Double Kick Heroes is available now, priced at  €21.99 / £19.79 / $21.99 on Nintendo Switch & $19.99 / €19.99 / £15.49 on Steam.
