The Indie Game Website writes: "I honestly wasn’t expecting much from Super Crush KO, but it turned out to be a delightful surprise. This cutesy and colourful brawler lets you lose yourself in a satisfying flow state of flashy combos as you beat its hordes of alien robots into scrap. And with a fluffy cat at stake (and all of mankind, I guess), it’s all for a good cause."
Half-Glass Gaming: "If you enjoyed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge, here are five more indie beat-'em-up games you should check out."
Surprised to see someone mention DD: Neon. I loved it but it seemed like I was the only one as most people just dunked on it when it was first released on the PS3. Fight N Rage is also a good one. I liked Raging Justice but it doesn't hold a candle to the other games you mentioned.
Guardian Heroes is only £1.69 on the Xbox store, just picked it up yesterday. It's still amazing.
"Super Crush KO” is a very fun, beautiful, charming, but extremely hard platformer that should bring you many hours of joy (or torment, depending on how you see it/your skill level as a player) if you’re into action/brawler/bullet-hell platformers." - Nicholas Kingsley, TGG.
GameCrate: "It happens every year. There are so many game releases that we just can’t keep up with all of them. It’s a shame, because a lot of times, some truly outstanding titles don’t get the hype or recognition they deserve. Other times, they do but are quickly forgotten. Worse still, sometimes these underdog games go almost completely ignored. These games might not have been on many “best of” lists this year, but they’re still worthy of recognition and they’re totally worth playing."
Yeah, time constraints are the reason I missed some really good games this year. I was glad to play these. And I know something like Wasteland 3 is a pretty big time commitment, but it's def recommended if you get the chance. Same with Paper Mario: The Origami King. So good!
Imo paper mario was an awesome game. Enjoyed every second of it. That being said i didn't play the other paper mario games
Serious Sam 4 just continues the decline of the series.
Wasteland 3 should have been on more goty lists, and West of Dead was also great.
It's always going to be a somewhat popular, though still niche series.
The problem is they never figured out how to evolve it.
Serious Sam 3 was really just a Frankenstein monster of a game cobbled together from the assets from a canceled project.
4 did a lot better, but it's still hanging on the drab aesthetics of 3. They really need to examine what made Serious Sam 2 ... well, serious Sam 2.
Yeah, I was a bit surprised that Wasteland 3 wasn't mentioned more in GOTY discussions/videos/articles.
Also, I actually really loved Serious Sam 3 -- it's prob my favorite in the series.
Origami King was bad. Horrible and annoying battle system, no rpg elements. Story was fun but not better or worse than most entries in the series.
Sticker star was even worse, but I’m not going to say that is good because of that.
Serious Sam 4 is not good either.
Battletoads.... not a bad game, i liked it.
There have been a lot of cool beat 'em ups, and I thought Battletoads did a good job of bringing that classic style of action with some nice refinements and a Saturday morning cartoon coat of paint.
that's pretty cool
