About When It Hits the Fan

In 199X the world was at peace... until it all hit the fan!

When It Hits the Fan is an action arcade twin-stick shooter for PC and arcade that you can play with a friend that was inspired by many classic arcade and SNES/Sega Genesis era games.

It features four apocalypse scenarios happening all at once:
Zombies spilled out into the city streets...
AI in military grade robots went haywire...
Demons started pouring out of hell...
And finally, aliens started invading the planet!

--When It Hits the Fan Intro

Features:

  • 2 Player local co-op
  • 4 Zones (City, Laboratory, Underground/Hell, and Alien Spaceship)
  • 9 Weapons: Handgun, Double Handgun, Shotgun, Machine gun, Grenade Launcher, Flamethrower, Laser pistol, Laser Cannon, and Chainsaw!
  • Various power-ups (Invincibility cloak, Force shield, protective cross…)
  • Many enemies from all four apocalypses (zombies, irradiated cockroaches, out of control robots, demon imps and devils, alien brutes, and more!)

Free Bonus Content:

  • Over 40 achievements!
  • Unlock Hard Mode and Cheat Mode for maximum re-playability
  • Cheat Mode includes pick your weapon to play the full game with the most powerful weapons of your choice

    Three difficulty settings to allow for your style of play:

  • Easy - less enemies and slower bullets
  • Normal - the way it was meant to be played
  • Hard (Unlockable) - more enemies, more difficult enemy patterns

I played this game when it came out and thoroughly enjoyed it. If you like simple yet fun arcade shooter games, definitely give this a try! It has cool levels, fun weapons, interesting enemy designs, beautiful music and great bosses. And if you've got a buddy over at your house, it's a ton of fun playing together! Also plenty of achievements and challenges to complete.

Got to 2nd area in coop, stopped taking input from controller and keyboard, had to alt+f4. Don't waste your time. Also it's one of these games that doesn't recognize controllers if they're turned on after the game launches, so remote play together doesn't work, if you decide to waste your time on this and want to do so in online coop, you'll have to use Parsec.

Played through the first 2 episodes of the game so far, loving it. If you are fan of the old school games like Contra and SmashTV, this is a fantastic game. Definitely a lot of heart has gone into this game and you can feel it, when you play it. Was looking for a twin stick shooter take on those old games and this was closest so far on steam.
