Troublemaker follows Budi, a transfer student at an Indonesian high school, as he navigates school life and enters the annual Raise Your Gang fighting tournament. His friends and rivals are part of a story about high school relationships, ambition, and conflict.
Fights are the central activity: Budi punches, kicks, dodges, and counters with a range of moves. Players can mix Light, Heavy, Advanced, and Sick move styles into combos, with more than 30 moves available.
Between fights, players can explore the school, spend time with Budi’s girlfriend and friends, work on homework, and take part in mini-games. Popularity, character upgrades, new moves, and collectibles add other goals beyond the tournament.
Players who enjoy Troublemaker often point to its Indonesian school setting, local humor, and cultural details as giving it a distinct identity, and some praise its characters and heartfelt story. Some also find the combo fighting fun, though reviews frequently describe combat as stiff or repetitive. Criticism also recurs around bugs, uneven voice acting and dialogue, and stuttering cutscenes.
Go to school, make new friends, beat old enemies up, solve world-class problems (like grades and girlfriends), and don’t let your mom down by getting arrested or worse - flunking out!
Troublemaker is an action-adventure-beat-'em-up game about the most important and terrifying part of everyone's life: High school. As Budi, the new transfer to one of Indonesia's finest high schools, literally fight your way to the top of the social food chain through the school's annual student fighting tournament, aptly named Raise Your Gang.
Inspired by beat-'em-up classics, Troublemaker is all about smooth and over-the-top combat in Indonesia's greatest adolescent combat arena. Punch, kick, break, smash, or gently swing Budi’s way up to the top with more than 30 iconic moves.
Square up with your best friends and mortal enemies, there can only be one winner!
Budi won't be fighting across the school alone. Parakacuk, his gang, will be there to help him out.
Rani the class boss will lend her smarts, Zaenal his might, and Boby...well, Boby's just Boby.
Together, they'll face the crushing mortal challenges of high school (or, you know, die trying).
Spend time with Budi’s girlfriend, increase his popularity at school, do homework with his friends, and learn what an over the top life could be like in a 21st century Indonesian high school.
Beating up your peers is all fun and games, but patience is necessary.
