Crime has always been at the center of Steel Haven, a Metropolis on the Eastern Seaboard of the United States.
A massive surge in criminal activity has swept through the back alleys and darker pits of the city.
The mindless and disorganized gangs that once plagued Steel haven for years have seemingly rallied together...
Underneath a single banner, they have begun to usher in an age of terror upon the streets like it has never known before...
The TakeOver is a 2016 Retraux action game developed by Antonios Pelekanos from Dangen Entertainment for the Nintendo Switch, with aesthetics and gameplay inspired by old-school Beat 'em Up arcade games from the past like Streets of Rage and Final Fight.
Set in a futuristic, crapsack version of the United States, in the crime-infested Wretched Hive known as Steel Haven, three ex-soldiers retired from SpecOps - Ethan the protagonist, his girlfriend Megan, and their mutual buddy Connor - are trying to make an honest living in the city, with Ethan and Megan being the adoptive parents of a little girl named Vanessa which they picked up from the streets, believing Vanessa had lost her family to the ruthless gangs plaguing Steel Haven daily. Life is rough for the quartet, but they are happy until the unexpected happens.
One evening, Vanessa was abducted, taken from her bedroom without any ransom notes or demands left behind. Ethan and Megan - and Connor, deciding to assist the two - sets off into the Steel Haven underworld to locate Vanessa, but they eventually discover a nasty reveal regarding the truth behind Vanessa's paternal lineage.
