About Coffee Crisis
Coffee Crisis is a neo-rogue brawler that puts you in the shoes of the only baristas on Earth with enough heavy metal in their veins to fend off an alien assault. Play solo or join up with a friend to fight across eight unique locations ranging from your Coffee House HQ to the far reaches of outer space. Go up against an army of wild alien enemies, and the humans they have brainwashed with a variety of weapons, special moves, suplexes, and coffee!
The Smurglian race has come to Earth and they're not leaving until they steal our three most prized commodities: heavy metal, free Wifi, and coffee. Crunch through fistfuls of alien meat as you stop their invasion, and enjoy random modifiers to the enemies and action on each playthrough. It's a totally unique cup of beat 'em up action every time you play!
With over 50 different screen effects, power-ups, and enemy tweaks Coffee Crisis is never the same game twice. Take the action to Twitch and allow your audience to choose your fate, or play solo and leave it up to chance.
- Tear off fistfuls of alien meat in Neo Rogue Brawler action!
- Jam out with a pal in Local Co-Op Play!

✦ AI summary
Players appreciate the game's chaotic beat-em-up style, retro 80s aesthetics, and cooperative gameplay, with some finding it a surprisingly fun experience despite mixed initial impressions. However, critics consistently complain about overwhelming enemy hordes that discourage tactical play, a relatively short campaign, and mechanics that feel more reliant on random loot drops than skill, leading some to find it frustrating and exhausting rather than engaging.
better story than twilight.6 found this helpful
It seems great for the first few seconds, then you realize it's not. The graphics and atmosphere are more than fine (apart from some effects that distort the screen or alter the colors just to annoy the player). The problem is the gameplay: hordes of enemies that cannot be stopped, which force you to jump around without understanding anything, without any tactics. Such a pity.1 found this helpful
I think this game gets a really bad rap. I saw the mixed reviews and was like "no I will pass" until a friend of mine said it was not that bad. I bought and boy am I glad I did. Yes it is not as mechanically profound like other fighers but it is more of a chaotic brawler then a combo focused beat em up. Yes it is a beat em up but the focus is more on lots of enemies picking up weapons and power ups. You will find in the middle of a huge mob of enemies as you windle them down they will drop health, damage multipliers, invincibility, 1ups..... I mean if you lose on a level just replay because sometimes you have bad drops and other times they are dropping all the good stuff. Honestly It has not taken me long to get towards the end of the game. Yes I watched a playthrough. Also everyone said how hard the game was so I put it on easy and no modifiers and just been flying through it. The story is so over the top but I love it! Its what a good classic retro beat em up should be. I understand this game is not going to be everyone's cup of tea but it is by no means a 'Bad" game. The pacing and levels change often enough that they don't overstay their welcome. Lots of Story for a retro style…
if you want to catch a cardiac arrest, then please play and do not deny yourself anything. and yes, drink more coffee, maybe even more. mix coffee, alcohol and energy drink yeah
Coffee Crisis is arguably the best beat-'em-up released for the Mega Drive in years! Jokes aside, the game excels in delivering top-notch gameplay while maintaining a smooth experience. It truly captures those pure '80s vibes. The only minor drawback I’d mention is the game's duration. However, it excels in almost every other aspect for fans of '80s arcades—be it music, plot, gameplay, graphics, or co-op features. Definitely a well-crafted game worth playing.
Awful.
