About Lethal Wedding

​When a drug ring of criminal clowns crashes a bachelor party and kidnaps the groom-to-be, it’s up to the bride and her mother-in-law to mount a rescue. Players will battle their way through psychopathic circus performers, bazooka-toting bearded ladies, and murderous mobsters across over 30 levels of carnage, all while juggling mother-daughter issues, wedding planning, and…literal jugglers.

Team up with a friend for intense couch co-op gameplay, and beware the innovative Vow System, which keeps the stakes high by challenging players to complete randomized objectives before reaching the end of each stage. You know what they say, “till death do us part!”
