Genokids releases on October 2, 2025 for PC (Steam, Early Access). Developed and published by Nukefist. A motley band gets its gig crashed by the Infinite Empire of Zenodia, so you fight back across ruined city blocks, swapping between bandmates on the fly. It is a character‑action brawler with flashy parkour, a style meter that begs you to stay aggressive, and a HYPER mode that pops when you keep momentum. Smooth tags, aerial juggles, and routes that read like skate lines, not corridors.

Review
Genokids feels quick in the hands. Inputs land clean, cancels make sense, and the game nudges you toward expression over rote strings. You can tag between fighters mid‑combo, toss an enemy skyward, then pass the juggle to another character before gravity wins. The best rooms are little arenas with walls to run, rails to bridge gaps, and enough elevation to keep your thought process a beat ahead of your fingers.
The combat loop sells style without losing clarity. Enemies telegraph, armor types force you to vary routes, and the style system rewards risk instead of raw damage. When HYPER triggers, everything lifts, but you still need to read spacing or you will whiff and eat a counter. Bosses lean on phases that escalate cleanly. Learn the opener, bait the greed, punish the reset.
Flow around fights keeps pace. Short platform sprints, collectible‑driven secrets, and side missions that feed upgrades without sending you to a spreadsheet. Presentation is bright and readable, with comic‑book panels framing story beats and a soundtrack that punches alongside your strings.
Caveats: Early Access means Act 1 only for now, with two of four characters fully playable. Balance will shift, and camera angles can crowd in tight corners if you chase wall tech. On PC, specs are modest, but the 60 fps target dips if you stack particles on older GPUs. Even so, when a tag route clicks and the meter sings, it works.
Verdict: a fast, expressive brawler that rewards swagger and clean reads.
