Troublemaker (v1.2)

High school rivalry becomes a full-contact climb up the social ladder in this Indonesian action-adventure brawler. You play Budi, a transfer student trying to survive classes, friendships, romance, parental expectations, and the school’s notorious Raise Your Gang fighting tournament. The tone balances bruising gang confrontations with broad adolescent comedy, treating bad grades and awkward relationships as problems nearly as serious as a schoolyard beatdown. Troublemaker gives its setting a welcome local identity, swapping the usual streets and crime syndicates of the genre for a lively 21st-century Indonesian school community.

Most of your time goes into hand-to-hand fights against student rivals, using a growing catalogue of more than 30 attacks. Light, heavy, advanced, and “sick” techniques can be chained into personal combos, while environmental interactions let Budi smash, break, or improvise his way through encounters. Combat rewards timing and patience rather than constant button mashing, especially when Budi needs time to recover from damage between scraps. Outside the arena, you roam the campus, complete school-related activities, build popularity, spend time with Budi’s girlfriend and friends, and hunt down collectibles. His crew, Parakacuk, also gives the story its personality: clever class representative Rani, strongman Zaenal, and the unpredictable Boby turn ordinary school problems into group misadventures.

What separates Troublemaker from a standard beat-’em-up is its commitment to the everyday texture of student life. It has the exaggerated punches, flashy combos, and rival showdowns expected of classics such as Bully and River City-style brawlers, but its friendships, homework, and family pressure keep the action grounded in Budi’s personal stakes. The school is designed as more than a sequence of arenas, encouraging downtime and collectible hunting between major fights. Players who want a polished competitive fighter may find the focus more story-driven and scrappy, but anyone who enjoys character-led brawlers, campus comedy, and a setting rarely seen in games should find plenty to like.
