The TakeOver took a little while to make its way over to the Nintendo Switch, but the wait was so worth it. It's an incredible beat 'em up that not only nails the iconic '90s era of brawlers found on the 16-bit consoles, but also blends in modern visuals, stunning effects and a sensational OST.
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.
Ron from NoobFeed writes - It doesn’t matter if it’s for nostalgia’s sake or just because you want a game to wind up and relax, The Takeover is worth your while.
From PSU: "A gorgeously framed love letter to the Streets of Rage series, The Takeover is a surprisingly robust and attractive side-scrolling brawler that finds itself let down by poor AI, repetitive enemy types and completely unneeded non-fighting stages. Sadly, the upshot of such devoted love for Sega's series is that the developers behind The Takeover seemingly were concerned more with making the next Streets of Rage, rather than focusing on making the first Takeover."
The original SOR composer did music for this game.
Not my genre, but looks fun!
