Summoned by the Heartcore of Ventu village, it is your duty to defend your home and fellow Megacs against other forces that wish to seize the power of the Heartcore for their own ends. As a token of good will, the neighboring [[TheEmpire Valk Empire]] offers a gift to the youngest megac in the village, you. However, the Empire's representative quickly goes rogue upon your arrival, and attempts to hold you hostage...

''Megabyte Punch'' is a side scrolling PC beat-em-up by indie company [[http://www.reptile-games.com/ Reptile Games]]. Gameplay combines the part customization and collection of ''VideoGame/CustomRobo'', with the [[PlatformFighter fighting and control style]] of ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'', delivered with bright, chunky aesthetics. You can explore 6 unique areas, demolishing rogue Megacs for their parts, or engage in a variety of 1-1 fights, where the objective is to knock the opponent off the side of the stage and off-screen for a kill. It also features 4-player split-screen co-op and versus mode. It'll receive a UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch version via the Nintendo [=eShop=] on May 8, 2020. The Switch version will include two exclusive bonus stages and Toys/{{amiibo}} support functionality to unlock exclusive colors.

!!Provides Examples Of:

* AceCustom: Megacs have interchangable parts, and have the capacity to produce more. [[spoiler:Grand Khotep Skarb sends his minions into Ventu Village in search of a legendary arm piece, setting off Stage 3.]]
* ArmorPiercingAttack: The "Thrust" attack breaks guard shields and launches enemies. More specifically, it's a pelvic thrust. The Megabyte Punch can also smash through shields. When a shield is broken, the enemy Megac will suffer serious damage and be stunned for a few seconds, more than enough to finish them off.
* BackPackCannon: The "Barrage" piece is a set of shoulder-mounted missile launchers.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: One of the houses in the village is known as the "Did You Know" house, with its resident Kachooks giving various gameplay tips.
* ColorCodedMultiplayer: Co-op players are automatically assigned distinct complimentary color sets.
* CoOpMultiplayer: Allows for 4 player splitscreen co-op or versus gameplay.
* DifficultButAwesome: The titular Megabyte Punch is this. It has a long windup and extremely short range, meaning opponents can either get in close to stop you or can attack at a range to stay away. However, if it connects, it's a devastating blow and sends opponents flying, sometimes counting as a OneHitKO should they hit a wall.
* DoubleJump: Two jumps by default, with various pieces giving more jumps.

* GroundPunch: A variety of pieces grants the ability for a downwards slam, including a boombox chestpiece.
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:The Kheprions side with Ventu when the Valk Empire steals the Heartcore. Leon reveals himself as a DoubleAgent after learning of the Empire' plan to assassinate you. He [[BackToBackBadasses teams up with you]] shortly thereafter to fight off the assassins.]]
* MacrossMissileMassacre: The [[spoiler:Valk Emperor's final phase]] sends homing missiles of various sizes all over the stage.
* MechaExpansionPack: Several parts are souped up versions of standard parts. [[spoiler:General HB-02 returns from "exile" as HB-03, with several wing extensions and an overclocked helmet with a frill.]]
* MegatonPunch: The titular Megabyte Punch and Spinkick abilities will send enemies careening off the stage... if it connects.
* MercyInvincibility: You get a few invincibility frames when you respawn back on stage after being KO'd.
* MeteorMove: Several abilities, as well as basic down tilt type attacks can spike enemies into the bottom screen boundary.
* MoreDakka: Zig-zagged. It's possible to equip your Megac with guns in every slot that can hold one (including the head), but you can only fire one at a time due to the game's mechanics.
* OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler:The [[FinalBoss Valk Emperor]]]] transforms into a larger, dragon-esque form following his first defeat.
* PlatformFighter: In Versus and Tournament mode, players are KO'd if they are knocked off the screen.
