The Showdown Effect packshot image
Created by Arrowhead Game Studios, the same brilliant and eccentric minds behind Magicka, The Showdown Effect is a 2.5D multiplayer action game in which players will be participating in death-matches to gain glory and fame. Formerly known as “Project JFK,” The Showdown Effect operates on the principle of “more is more” and offers an infinite amount of ways to customize your gameplay. Whether its character, stage, game mode, or weapons, customize as much as you want and control how creatively you want to kill your friends! Remember, the gorier it is, the better the showdown you will have!

PC System Analysis For The Showdown Effect Requirements
Your PC will need a graphics card thats as powerful as a GeForce GT 230/Radeon HD 6550D and it should be paired with either a Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4000+/Celeron E1200 Dual-Core 1.6GHz CPU to match the The Showdown Effect recommended system specs. This PC setup will deliver 60 Frames Per Second on High graphics settings on 1080p monitor resolution. 2 GB will also be needed to achieve the The Showdown Effect rec specs and get 60FPS. You should also have 1 GB system memory for min specs. Make sure your GPU can run DirectX 9 or The Showdown Effect won’t run. We suggest a 12 year old PC to play smoothly.

very fun game with lots of humour, i hope they patch it up and nerf the rpgs a little though or everyone will just end up only using rocket launchers all the time.
