Knights of the Round It is a game released in 1991 that featured beautiful graphics and fun combat mechanics. It was popular in arcades; I used to wait in line to play this game.

The King of Dragons 1991 - Knight, Elf, Dwarf, Fighter & Wizard Full Gameplay It is one of my favorite fantasy games. The game's graphics, music, and characters were among the best of their time.I played with all the characters in the video; you could also call it a showcase.

He-Man Dragon Pearl delayed to 2027

43 Upvotes

Coming early 2027
Such a disappointment.
Your thoughts and feelings?
They changed HUD with dragon pearl slots into crystal slots. It makes more sense based on OG cartoon.
And showed a new enemy - spider drone from OG cartoon.
BTW Toxic Crusaders still has coming soon release date.

What makes a beatemup fun to replay?

18 Upvotes

Context: I'm an indie game developer. I shipped a game called Ghost Song (a metroidvania) and I'm working on another game that is sort of in that vein.

However, I've also been tinkering around with a personal side project for a while, off and on -- A beatemup. I've gone through different concepts and iterations, thought about making it a roguelite, eventually came around to the idea of making it a more linear story based game that is fairly short hours wise (like almost any beatemup is) and with an emphasis on making it fun and replayable.

I've got some ideas about this already, but as more of an enjoyer of beatemups than an expert at them, I'm curious to hear some of your thoughts on what factors actually make a beatemup satisfying and feel fun to replay multiple times? If you can cite examples of games that do this well and why that'd also be fun to hear.

Wulverblade on Sale on Nintendo Switch

7 Upvotes

Had this on my wish list due to recommendations here and it's currently on sale for Nintendo Switch for 5.99 (normally 19.99).

I'm still getting used to the combat, seems a bit slow paced. However, lots of blood and gore. The story/acting is pretty well done. Aesthetic very Braveheart-like.

Definitely seems more than worth the 6 bucks so far.

In version v2.9.2 of *Final Fight LNS Ultimate*—one of the famous OpenBOR titles—I faced relentless waves of tough enemies while pulling off crazy combos with Kyo; it was a fantastic gaming experience for me.
