- Slaps and Beans 2 is the retro homage to cult Italian film duo Bud Spencer and Terence Hill
- Leap into comedy and brawling-filled fun set across modern America and the Wild West
- Take detours into a variety of minigames in between puzzle-solving and epic brawls
The world of film is a peculiar one, as while Hollywood owes so much of its development to outsiders like Sergio Leone and John Woo, we rarely think about the cinematic universe outside America. But Slaps And Beans 2 is a new retro platforming classic that forms a love letter to two underrated film stars, Terence Hill and Bud Spencer.
If these two look familiar, you may recognise them from their (arguably) biggest English-language hit, They Call Me Trinity. But the Italian-born duo tore up cinema screens for European audiences throughout the 60s and 70s in crime capers and westerns, with Slaps and Beans 2 a globe-trotting homage to their work.
In Slaps and Beans 2, you’ll step into the shoes of the duo in a co-op focused retro beat-’em-up that takes you everywhere from modern America to the Wild West as you punch and kick your way through hordes of baddies, mixing and matching Hill’s acrobatics with Spencer’s pure strength, and teaming up to deliver combined attacks.
Let’s take a detour
Just like the comedic duo, Slaps and Beans 2 isn’t afraid to take a detour. You’ll need to not only tackle puzzles which require the athletic Hill or burly Spencer to help one another through obstacles, but also jump into a variety of fun minigames in between brawls.
Be it playing high-stakes (but childish) cards against gangsters, smashing airboats into one another or a friendly match of Jai Alai, you’ll have as many fun detours as burly brawls to leap into with this homage to the fun-filled films of the famous Italian duo.
