Fight N Rage on ps5/4 for first time

13hrs one day totally addicted

Haha this is exactly why I still haven’t cracked open my copy. I know it’s going to consume me and pull me away from everything else.

The Night Slashers remake is kind of fun. Added screen edge juggling which does make it play very differently. Some dislike the visuals. But they seemed to think SOR4 looked OK..
Currently 4.50 on the UK store.

This happened to me too with FnR
For the majority of Beat em Ups I don't really care about, but if one manages to grab my attention, I'll play it non-stop.

I've recently gotten into "The Gladiator" as part of the IGS Classic Arcade Collection on Nintendo Switch.
It's a phenomenal game.
I think if it had been released by a company like Capcom, people might consider it as one of the all-time greats.
The game seems difficult to 1CC, since you don't regain your energy after a stage, food is rare (and disappears after a while) and there are no score extends (as far as I'm aware of).
Besides some small guides youtube playthroughs, there doesn't seem to be a lot of in-depth info about the game online.
Does anyone have more experience with this game?
When I select "The Gladiator" off the IGS C.A.C.'s main menu, the difficulty is set to 2/4 stars. Is this the default Arcade difficulty? I haven't touched the dip switch menu yet.
Also, I'm maining Chin, and I've seen videos of her doing her Attack followed by a small jump backwards to regain position. Does anyone know how to do this little hop?

Rushing Beat X - Return of the Brawl Brothers trailer from TGS.

All the magic of the 16-bit era, updated with the power of the PlayStation 2!

It's honestly looking better than that first very rough sneak peak, and we can clearly see it's a belt scroller now.

I just can't understand why they bothered with any of that. Even if it's good, I still want a decent faithful version of the original.
