A young Cuban programmer, known on TikTok as @ore_dev, has taken his followers by surprise with the release of an unusual fighting video game featuring well-known figures in Cuba. The game, titled Cuban Showdown, is currently in its testing phase, but the creator has made it available for free download. It is already stirring up buzz on social media, particularly due to one of its main characters: Chocolate MC, the King of Reparto.
The Chocolate avatar is equipped with a rather unique superpower: he hurls a "palón" as a special weapon, inspired by his famous track El palón divino. One of the most talked-about scenes features the reggaeton artist facing off against a punching bag emblazoned with the face of Miguel Díaz-Canel, offering a humor-laden political critique.
The developer, who describes himself as a video game enthusiast, has invited TikTok users to try out Cuban Showdown and suggest other Cuban figures who could join the fray. The project has been well-received by netizens, who praise the satire, character design, and clever incorporation of Cuban urban culture into the game.
