GameCrate: "While beat ‘em ups don’t sit atop a throne like they once did, the genre has experienced a renaissance the past few years. Maybe you’ve found your love of the brawler rekindled, or perhaps you’re a newer fan who wants to pummel more fools after playing Streets of Rage 4. Whatever the case may be, here are 10 new school beat ‘em ups worth playing."
Cultured Vultures: Valve's Steam Deck is a pretty impressive piece of kit, so here's our recommendations of the best Steam Deck games you should play.
Punch and kick your way to rescue your kidnapped boyfriends in River City Girls from WayForward and Arc System Works. Set in the iconic River City brawler franchise, players will mow down waves of enemies and bosses through six colorfully pixelated areas. With inspiration taken from classic arcade games and modern media alike, I was hyped to play this ported gem. While River City Girls came out swinging, my match ended before it ever really began.
"WayForward's River City Girls is an incredible beat 'em up RPG that has spawned a successful franchise and even an artbook. The first game has appeared on every modern platform other than mobile - until now. River City Girls is now available on iOS and Android through Crunchyroll Game Vault. Basically, paying Crunchyroll subscribers get free access to games in the vault, which is a great deal if you're already relying on the service to stream anime," says Co-Optimus.
Surprised Mother Russia Bleeds didn't make their list. Great game in my opinion.
The takeover wins hands down can't wait for PS release.
Will try Ninja savior and Double Dragon Neon
River city girls is excellent!
Love streets of rage 4. I’d even love some DLC for the game or even another installment down the road. Maybe sense SEGA seen the success of Streets of Rage 4 that they may make it into a Triple AAA gaming beat em up title. Similar to the beat’em up favorite of mine back on PS2 called Bouncer. That game was amazing.
