Never heard of it but Beat Em Up has been recently poorly received. Latest big named Beat Em Up was that remake of Turtles of Time and everyone hated it.

Everyone hated it because it was hot garbage, that absolutely ruined any of the charm the original had. It might as well have been a top-down twin-stick shooter.

My problem with so many beat em up revivals and rereleases and what not is that they're not actually GAMES. They're just a presentation of the beat em up action, and the game makers say "here you go, have fun". They give you unlimited lives, or settings to put it on whatever you want, and you're told to just mindlessly go through the game. They feel more like historical tours than video games.

I want an actual game, one that is balanced appropriately difficulty wise, that I can fail at, that I feel invested in and feel like theres a reason I'm playing. And I want more modern features in them. Not just 8 levels of mindless button mashing then credits. I want these things to evolve but they're so stuck in the past.

That's why Dragons Crown is currently my favorite beat em up. It feels like an actual game.

It's hilarious you're saying this because I've been hearing the complete opposite. "We want old school retro beat em up games back like Streets of Rage and Final Fight! They were the best and we'd buy and support these games if they just made them again!"

That's a dumb reason to get mad at a game IMO. Games should be fun to play.

I get the point of his message, though. A game should be well balanced and executed regardless of the aesthetic choices presented. A game shouldn't exist purely because it's trying to emulate a style from 20 years ago.

But that's what people want and for a game like this the most focused thing should be the gameplay and mechanics surrounding that.

The only thing disappointing to hear is that online doesn't have 4 players and it's only local. Normally my friends and I wouldn't have a problem going to each others houses/apartments... a but a certain virus isn't too nice about it.

It's on Gamepass so I downloaded it, fully intended on buying it but it's a big plus that I didn't have to pay for it. It's a good time so far, reminds me of Streets of Rage 2 a lot initially, I went right to my go-to Axel and it brought me back to the day I got my Genesis and SoR2 was the free cartridge that came with it.

Played the first two stages and yeah this game rocks. My favorite retro revival since Sonic Mania. Truly is what a modern Streets of Rage should be.

I love the lighting mixed with the artstyle too. Looks great.

The Commissioner boss intro was awesome lol

Just to be clear this works for any 4 player local coop game on Steam. The other players are streaming the game off the host. So it might need a more stable and demanding internet connection.

Luckily my ISP did an amazing thing for my community and upgraded us free to 200mbps, (when I payed over $100's a month for 20mbps), so my internet has been great so far. Been able to stream on multiple platforms easily. The only time we experience lag is when anyone is downloading or using bittorrent.
