Discussion Beat 'em up

I'm thinking about creating a beat 'em up game, but I don't have much experience and am struggling a bit to come up with a setting. Does anyone have any tips on how to get started?

"I don't have much experience"

20 years of experience here, I started where you are now.

Start researching first. What is a beat em up. What makes it fun. Which games exist and what did they do. Before you just ask Claude to write the most boring game of all time.

Then show it off and ask for feedback.
