I have to do my part and pay homage to River City Ransom: Underground, one of the most fun beat-em-ups I've ever played, and I see people talk so little about it. It's got a great pixel art-style, an amazing retro soundtrack and a fun and deep combat system to master, where you pick and level up different fighters in an open-world story driven beat-em-up. Shout outs to anyone who's experienced this great game.

Phantom Breaker looks awesome, especially comb-system and pic-n-mix 10 different characters. Shame it's only 2 lanes/planes of movement to hop between though. Up to 4P is a very welcome tough however! The Friends of Ringo Ishekawa also the dev of "Fading Afternoon" is wonderful pixel art beat'em-up/life-sim/slice-of-life. The dev pours their heart into these titles and you can see the "love": It's got that combo of "ultra-violence + melancholy of life" vibe! River City Girls: Some great pixel art animation around! Castle-Crashers is probably one of the best games ever and top picks in this genre. There's so many fun ideas in it. Midnight Fight Express looks so fun and playable - The Warriors the game sorta feel. Fight N Rage looks like it's on some seriously strong stuff! Incredible look.

As soon as I saw The Takeover I thought it looked like they wanted to model it after Streets of Rage, but with a different kind of graphics. I had to get Streets of Rage 4. I just have too many memories of playing Streets of Rage 2 with my brothers back in the day. Of course, I also have Fight N Rage, but I haven't played it enough to get good at it yet.

#14 Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds looks like a fun little game. Like if Isekai Quartet or one of those rom com animes involving magical girls got the Scott Pilgrim treatment. #5 I am intrigued by Full Metal Furies. It's a beat em' up with Greek mythology, noticeable rpg elements (not just leveling up), and the gameplay actually seems different per class/character. Wonder if they'll meet up with the Full Metal Alchemist and get the Sniper some Full Metal Jackets. #2 Fight N' Rage seems a little goofy. The Female's name is Gal? To be fair, Gal is a name. Gal Gadot for example.
