Do I wanna know about said drama?
Hahaha, well it's kind very "highschool" even though the people involved are all late 20s to early 30s, so it has a bit (or a lot??) of stupid associated with it.

It's not to do with the game itself that I know of, but just one of the prominent contributing artists has a history of stirring up bad blood with other indie artists.

What are the options for a CPU controlled partner?

I realised a few years ago that I only enjoy beat-em-ups if I'm not playing them solo. An A.I. partner helps a lot, because otherwise the enemy only has one target. The Streets of Rage remake with a CPU partner was the best time I had with that game.

I'm very interested in this game but I must admit that I never got into River City Ransom. Any tips? I never know what I should be doing with the shop items, and this was part of what killed Scott Pilgrim for me too.

I hope this game picks up the series a bit!!

Looks fantastic. Although I'm not sure if it's something I should play with my 3 year old. Lol. This looks really fun in co-op.

No I was completely unaware as to why people played Beat Em Ups since I've definitely never played Guardian Heroes, Streets of Rage 2 and TMNT4.

How salacious and wicked of me to ponder whether my money should immediately leap into the hands of a game that will last me a whole two hours!
Streets of rage 2 average 2 to 3 or so hrs. https://howlongtobeat.com/game.php?id=9258

Main story of Guardian Hero was 1 and a half hrs https://howlongtobeat.com/game.php?id=4146

I hope this game inspires them to do more outside the usual chibi style of the series.

It may or it may not. I can say I've seen a lot of Japanese comments questioning the art style and whether it's a "real" Kunio-kun game, not to say that they don't like it in and of itself.

I think we're only ever going to get more non-standard Kunio games through licensing deals like this one, ASW cranks these games out like they're nothing.

I mean even just a River City Girls 2 would be nice.

60 USD when we were kids 30 or so years ago with all the inflation that has occurred over that time.

I remember leaving school during lunch and interval with mates to pump 20cent pieces into Double dragon and buy meat pies. We had issues getting past the first level for over 2 years. I now learn in my doatage a game that was essentially infinite in length is actully doable on the switch single player in about an hr. These types games have always been "short" inspire of our lack of ability as small children in the 80s/90s.

I would actually prefer a 2 hour beat em up opposed to a 10+ hour beat em up rpg. I don't know if I would spend $40 on it though.

whos making this game?

The OG developers or same western team that made the last river ransom?


Also, game play looks a bit slow... hopefully theres a tubo mode?
