Niche Games Enjoyer

Average person in their 20s. View Backloggd for my taste in games. I swear it's really good! And to clear up confusion, when I say "PMD", it always refers to "Pokémon Mystery Dungeon", which is another series I love!

Play Klonoa: Door to Phantomile and Freedom Planet 2! And Solatorobo, and PMD: Gates to Infinity; those games have been shaping my preferences considerably!

Well, time to try a long ranty post about nothing a lot of people care about. Still, I feel like I gotta say it. We're not getting enough beat em ups. Seriously, unless Capcom plans to make Devil May Cry 6 now, or Platinum makes something new soon, the only series that seems to like the genre right now is Dynasty Warriors. Sure, they're fun and awesome, but variety is the spice of life.

There was a time when everyone was making a beat em up of some sort, usually because Final Fight and Streets of Rage made the genre popular back then, those types however are not the ones I am looking for though.

I also distinctly remember an era in the mid 2000s, where it seemed that once God of War hit shelves, everyone was trying to do something like that, with the occasional company trying a Devil May Cry style thing. Sure not all of them are remembered now, but I remember they existed. Whatever happened to that, eh? Seems like the big companies are all trying to ape each other's open world games while indies are all still trying to emulate Earthbound.

I mean, come on, it's not like an actiony beat em up is hard to make, if you need a story just remember that all you need is to give the player an enemy and a reason to fight said enemy. Could be as simple as "Ninjas kidnapped the president" and as long as the game is fun, we're good.
