The world of cinema often overlooks the contributions from outside Hollywood, yet it's undeniable how much the industry owes to international filmmakers like Sergio Leone and John Woo. However, one film universe that often flies under the radar is that of the beloved Italian duo, Bud Spencer and Terence Hill. Their legacy is celebrated in the new retro platforming classic, Slaps and Beans 2, which pays homage to these underrated stars.
If Bud Spencer and Terence Hill ring a bell, it might be from their English-language breakout hit, They Call Me Trinity. Yet, their influence spanned much further, captivating European audiences with a mix of crime capers and westerns throughout the 60s and 70s. Slaps and Beans 2 captures the essence of their globe-trotting adventures, taking players on a journey from modern America to the Wild West.
In this game, you'll embody the dynamic duo in a co-op focused retro beat-'em-up. As you navigate through various settings, you'll use Terence Hill's agility and Bud Spencer's brute strength to fight your way through hordes of enemies. The game encourages teamwork with combined attacks, enhancing the brawling experience.
