The Outerhaven writes: Looking for the best 2D beat ’em ups? Here are the top modern and retro-inspired brawlers worth playing today, including indie standouts and big hits.
Step into the dazzling pixel cosmos of MARVEL Cosmic Invasion, where Earth’s mightiest heroes and galactic legends collide in a frenetic fight against the Annihilation Wave. From the neon-lit streets of New York to the shadowy depths of the Negative Zone, every punch, kick, and cosmic swap feels like a love letter to arcade glory days. This is not just another superhero brawler; it’s an interstellar stage where tactical tag-team mechanics and retro artistry fuse into an unforgettable journey across the Marvel Universe.
Guard Crush Games are the premier brawler studio and they allowed Jeremy of Netto's Game Room to pick their brains about their critically acclaimed new game, Absolum.
VGChartz's Nicholas Taylor: "What I will say, though, is that even if you're only looking to play one run through the game's campaign, it's a very fun experience, and if you get creative with combining your attacks you can even do some wild stuff. Perhaps the most notable one for my group was when one of my friends managed to loop Wolverine's grab move on the final boss Annihilus, to the point where he never even got to move during our battle against him. It was a slow burn, but seeing the final boss utterly helpless in the face of our combined juggling did make for a hilarious climax to the game and is a gaming memory I won't forget any time soon."
