| Developed by BitBeamCannon, the game will be available for Amiga, Neo Geo, and PC. The Amiga version will be released first, followed shortly by the other two versions.
Campaign page: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/metrosiege/metro-siege
In addition to the single player mode, Metro Siege can be played cooperatively with a human partner or a CPU-controlled partner. This brawler will be crafted to run flawlessly on Amiga 500 computers with 512K RAM expansion.
Backing the lowest tier in the campaign provides you with digital downloads for all three platforms - Amiga, Neo Geo, and PC. For those who appreciate physical products, there are several Amiga packages, such as (click each option):
- Amiga DVD Case CD Edition
- Amiga Boxed CD and USB Key Edition
- Amiga Boxed Floppy Disk Edition
The campaign ends on July 4, 2026. This could very well be the best beat-em-up the Amiga has ever seen!

We're just a couple of days into the campaign and it's already over 200% to goal!
A big chunk of that total comes from Neo Geo backers, as they're pledging anywhere from €285 to €365 to get physical cartridge rewards.
There's certainly a demand amongst Amiga fans for a good new beat-em-up game, considering there were so many stinkers back in the day - e.g. Final Fight, Double Dragon I, etc.

As I'm writing this, total pledges are already approaching $43K. Shouldn't take more than another half a day to reach $45K for the 4th stretch goal.
Let's see what BitBeamCannon cooks up for the 5th, 6th, 7th, etc. stretch goals.

In the Comments section of the campaign page, someone asked about an enhanced version for Amigas with more memory.
BitBeamCannon replied with:
"Absolutely, we'd love to make an enhanced Amiga version to put use to more memory, faster processors, and maybe AGA, but we can't promise it at this point. It's a lot of extra work and we can't offer too many different versions in a single crowdfunding campaign." |

| Less than 10 days into the campaign, the game is fully funded and five stretch goals have been smashed:
1 - Extra Trading Cards - UNLOCKED: The addition of two more unique collectible trading cards to every physical edition of Metro Siege.
2 - Extended Soundtrack - UNLOCKED: The addition of two more awesome musical arrangements to further augment the experience.
3 - Boss Rush Mode - UNLOCKED: The addition of a gameplay mode which will let you play through all the boss fights of Metro Siege.
4 - Play as Bosses - UNLOCKED: The addition of a gameplay mode which will let you play as some of the boss characters from the game.
5 - Extra Level - UNLOCKED: The addition of another level to further enrich the world of Metro Siege and expand its gameplay.
The campaign manager has introduced a new stretch goal:
6 - 4th Playable Character: The addition of a fourth playable character to the roster, further increasing replay value and gameplay variety.
