    I've played Midnight Fight and Fight 'n' Rage before _(Love_ FnR, man. So good), but do tend to ignore a lot of modern releases in favor of discovering older games via emulation. I mean, stuff like Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon, Violent Storm, Guardians (Denjin Makai 2), Sengoku 3, and Metamorphic Force are all *amazing* titles that just seemed to never get attention when they came out, so they're _new to me_ 😄
    Last couple modern beat 'em ups I bought were Shing! (which is just alright) and Mayhem Brawler (which I actually really like! Glad it did good enough to be getting a sequel), but I definitely need to try more. Gonna give the Takeover a look for sure now; that one in particular definitely catches my eye.
    I'm really hoping we see more _3D_ beat 'em ups start coming from indie devs this year though; 2D's had it time to shine long enough. It would be a lot cooler if 2024 finally started to see the rise of indie titles inspired by legendary 3D brawlers like Fighting Force, The Warriors, Buffy: The Vampire Slayer, Dynamite Cop, Beatdown: Fists of Vengeance or Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks imho. I'm only familiar with a few upcoming beat 'em up titles like Genokids, Kings of Hell and Streets of Rage Revolution that are moving into 3D though....

      Hi! I know exactly what you mean. I love going through the Arcade Archives on the PS Store to see what's been re-released with save states, and so on. Finding a lost gem feels great.
      Talking of emulation, I recently got my hands on an Anbernic RG35XX Plus handheld console, which has around 10,000-odd classics included with its SD card(s), I'm totally blown away by how accurate the games are on this thing - brilliant screen and excellent controls. It only costs around £50-£70/$60-$80, depending on the version you go for. I'd never heard of the company until recently, but now I take the little unit everywhere. You can even plug it onto the TV and connect a Bluetooth controller. Superb device I'd recommend to any fan of retro gaming.
      I need to check out Mayhem Brawler, I keep hearing good things about that one. And I would LOVE a remake of Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks. I've still got that on the PS2 and I thought it used the characters and the world really well.
      I'll feature as many new (and old) beat 'em ups as I can going forward, and there are some action platformers I'm looking at now for a video. In the meantime, thanks so much for watching!

    I recently got back into Dragon's Crown a few months back and was instantly reminded why I loved it. It sank its fangs back into deep enough where I beat the first difficulty with every character and then immediately started playing through hard mode and have beaten it 3 times so far with Amazon (best character), Fighter and Wizard. And you can't forget that unfairly delicious looking food in the game. I wanna eat a dragon and the Killer Rabbit. I still can't believe that's a boss fight. I would love a sequel with some new characters, specifically a brawler/martial artist so I can punch the monsters in the face.
    And now I need to try out The Takeover and Fight N Rage.
    As for a 3D beat em up recommendation, while it might be on the older side and pretty hard to get, you can never go wrong with God Hand.

      Ha! I know - I nearly added an extra section to the video, but I thought I was starting to overdo the point a bit!
      But you're right, there can be issues in Dragon's Crown when things get busy, and you don't know who is hitting who. Great game overall, though.

    I've yet to see a beat 'em up with the amount of depth that Streets of Rage brought to the genre. A huge shame Dotemu won't be handling the sequel; I'm really not into the idea of a 3D Streets of Rage. I'm still hoping for Capcom to remaster God Hand for modern consoles and PC.

    • @Video_Games_Forever
      @Video_Games_Forever  2 місяці тому

      I have to admit, I wasn't sure about the game the first time I played it, and I ended up leaving it for a while. When I came back some months later - I assume I was just in a different mood - it really started to click. It's a lot more involved and rewarding than many other beat 'em ups, even if certain things, like the runes, seem needlessly complicated at first.
      But hey - sometimes you just want batter people to death with a few flashy combos in a traditional brawler, and I'm fine with that, too!

      It definitely has some bespoke mechanics that take a minute to adjust to. You could argue that the little bloke who follows you around, gathering up treasure, is a bit superfluous. But like you say, the positives far outweigh the negatives and it gets really addictive.
