Developer Monochromesoft has released their 2D fighting game, Heatwave, on Steam today. The game features multiple fighting styles, characters and assists and is also a visual novel about characters in a distant, post apocalyptic future.


In the game, humanity has been split between Earth, the Moon and the Underworld after apocalyptic heatwaves have made most of Earth uninhabitable. You play as 15+ fighters, learning more about them through a 42 chapter visual novel story mode. 


Players can also check out Arcade, Survival, Local Vs, Combo Trial and more. Additionally there are three unique fighting styles: 

  • Speed Mode: A fast, movement and combo based fighting mode, geared towards beginners

  • Power Mode: Limited movement and cancels, but a stronger parry, higher damage and special overdrive state to compensate

  • Team Mode: Instead of an assist, pick a second character to fight alongside, and gain access to powerful setups and pressure by switching places with them.


Heatwave is available now on Steam for $10 with a 10% discount until November 19th.
