games

From the Senran Kagura team and featuring art from King of Fighter's HIROAKI, Uppers is bombastic cheesy fun. ― Uppers is an over-the-top experience, and it knows it. I think perhaps the most important data point I can provide is that the game is directed by Kenichiro Takaki, whose other credits include the Senran Kagura series. If you are familiar with that franchise then you probably have some idea...

In moving the setting ...
