When they said Shank had fighting game influence, they meant it

Klei Entertainment’s upcoming downloadable sidescroller, Shank, has some fighting game influence and we’ve seen a few combos that show it. But if you thought those were awesome, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet. That influence actually goes deeper into the gameplay – there are different moves and commands to mix up, and there are certain combinations that will give you better results, just like practicing in a real fighting game.

All excited? The wait won’t be long, Shank will hit the online stores two weeks from now, on August 24th.
