    At first, I wasn't too fond of "Mother Russia Bleeds", but it started to grow on me.
    I love how raw this game feels, that the bosses aren't just "Random Unfair Giant Thug" and need to be taken down in more unconventinal ways.
    Plus... setpieces... in a brawler...
    This game has some fantastic moments to shake up the monotony of the genre.
    And the soundtrack is a blast from start to finish.

    I had not seen your channel before, but this video was in my recommendation feed a few days ago. I didn't know what to expect based on the thumbnail and the video title because sometimes such things don't pan out. But this was genuinely very good. It reminded me that I need to have a look at Zero Team which looks better than I expected. The overall selection of games is interesting. Some of these, like Vengeance Hunters and Final Vendetta, were on my radar. I wasn't aware of some of these. Maiden Cops looks worth at least a further investigation and Jitsu Squad looks very well made. I like that Jitsu Squad has a lot happening on screen, but doesn't appear to shake the screen much, an effect which does not agree with me. I'll definitely be looking into that one. I'm already familiar with Metamorphic Force, which is fantastic, so good to see you feature it. Lastly, I was just thinking about Transformers Devastation. Not only was I not aware that it was delisted until recently, but it was available for sale digitally for a rather short time, which really says a lot about digital distribution the way it is set up right now.

    The art style for Maiden Cops looked really familiar, so I had to check and confirmed that it's made by the studio that produced Wife Quest, a side scroller about an adventurer trying to rescue her husband from a series of horny monster girls (who like to show off their tits) because he's apparently the only man in a 1,000 mile radius.

    Hey there ! Just found out your channel and it seems we kinda enjoy the same things. I do some presentations myself (in french tho).
    Here's a list of beat 'em ups I really liked if you want to check some more :
    - River City Girls (1 or 2)
    - The Takeover
    - Clan N
    - Wulverblade
    - Viking Squad
    - Fight 'N Rage
    - I am the hero (really loved this one)
    - Mayhem Brawler (a sequel is on it's way)
    I won't talk about Streets of rage, Battletoads or TMNT Shredder's revenge as I suspect you already know them like most people :)
    Cheers mate !

      Hello! Merci beaucoup! You mention some great games there, a few of which I've covered at the channel previously. You clearly have great taste.
      Streets of Rage and Shredder's Revenge are great, but everyone knows them, as you say. I like to try and uncover a few lesser-known games.
      Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment, I appreciate it.

      Absolutely, The Takeover is a great game - I covered it in one of my previous videos for five excellent modern beat 'em ups.

    Miaden Cops is a total knock off of Streets of Rage 2. I've played that game enough to know it, the punches, the keys, the jumping, the level design etc.

    • @Video_Games_Forever
      @Video_Games_Forever  3 месяца назад +1

      Streets of Rage 2 has certainly 'inspired' a lot of beat 'em ups since its release all those years ago, it's true.

  • @baalfgames5318
    @baalfgames5318 3 месяца назад +1

    I really wish there were more beat-em-ups where you're JUST an anthro/furry and not a cursed human or a shapeshifting human, since I literally play as anthros/furries in games to NOT have to play as a human, but besides TMNT: Shredder's Revenge, the only one I can think of is Fight N' Rage, which has an indefensable message I refuse to support.

    • @baalfgames5318
      @baalfgames5318 3 месяца назад

      What I really hate about Jitsu Squad is that not only does the cursed human gimmick completely RUIN the characters for me, it's not even relevant to the plot! They just shoehorned narcissism into the characters, either because it's "ree-lay-tuh-bull" or they don't actually care about furries or animals and wanted to PRETEND they were appealing to furries.

    Redeemer on switch is 60 fps, but it doesnt keep. It usually hovers around mid 50s, dropping to 40s when there's heavy fight scenes. Not a bad port through, one of the better ones imo, atleast I prefer this over locked 30 fps.

    • @Video_Games_Forever

    Metamorphic Force is definitely a reskin of Konami's X-Men from 1991. Those are definitely Night Crawlers animations and move sets.

    I literally just beat Redeemer on the switch and man it looks a lot cleaner on other consoles than the switch. On the switch it is a lot brighter than dark and grimy. Should have played this on the ps4. I only had one problem on the switch and it was one of the cut scenes towards the end. As the protagonist was talking the pictures were dragging by a few minutes. I had to exit out and restart the game. It was a fun beat em up game just to past the time. I got it throught a bundle with Shaolin monks and some other game.

    What is with those small goddam sprites. Make the shit larger, well animated. They did it with TMNT, X-MEN, THE SIMPSON,WWF Superstars, WWF Wrestlefest.
    One company do this b.s. they all do it. It's like they eat one anothers shit. That ain't good.
    Bigger, well animated, fun to play n control characters. Don't make it so big they block out, or hinders gameplay.(Gotta tell brilliant monkeys this because they will screw it up )
    I know their going for nostalgia. But screw all that too.
    DOWN WITH THOSE DAMN SMALL SPRITES!!!
    GIVE US THOSE BIG GORGEOUS SPRITES!!!

    • @Video_Games_Forever
      @Video_Games_Forever  3 месяца назад +1

      Haha! So, I'm getting the impression your prefer bigger sprites in your games? That's fair enough. I used to love those WWF (as they were then) arcade games, with giant pixel art Ultimate Warrior and Earthquake, jumping all over the screen. Couple that with the meaty sound effects... excellent.
