Any child of the 80’s needs to play this game, or the ghost of ALF will claim your soul for all eternity.

Ivan Drago: Justice Enforcer, plays, looks and even SOUNDS like an authentic 80’s arcade or NES game.

The pixel art doesn’t look super great by today’s standards, but in trying to recreate the classic look of 80’s gaming, frog-leg enthusiast, french canadian seperatist, and part-time artist Poxpower did a fantastic job.

Rog (of I-Mockery), the pickle toting mastermind behind this game’s concept, composed the ultimate soundtrack borrowing a little from classic games like castlevania, and used plenty of other authentic-sounding music and effects.
And the gameplay, coded by the extremely talented BomToons, is true to 80’s-era beat-em-up games in every way.

The generic enemies you fight are pretty stereotypical… you have your generic punching guy, your crotch stabbers, your mob dude with a gun, and of course, an 80’s staple: DINOSAURS!!!!

I also couldn’t help but laugh at the segway guys and Pauly’s robot. God what an atrocity that robot was.

I played the game all the way through as Ivan Drago, and was a bit bummed at how short it was. That was, until I played with the first character I unlocked, and saw that there was some slight changes in the game worth playing to see.

The second character I unlocked just straight up made me laugh the whole time I played.

Then the 3rd character was even better, completely changing the game, and paying homage to a classic Newgrounds game.

I’m not going to TELL you what the unlockable characters are, because they are the sole replay value in this game, and to spoil that would have wasted any hype I had just given this gem of a game.

Even after unlocking everything, the game was still a bit short. Normally I’m a fan of quick web games, since I don’t get to play for all that long, but this left me wanting more. I guess that’s a testimant to the game, but guys… NOBODY LIKES A COCK TEASE!

I’m hoping they make an extended version with Hulk Hogan and Mr. T, but until then…
