Good new sidescrolling beat'em ups of 2025 (ani.social)

I love sidescrolling beat'em ups like Streets of Rage and Final Fight. I feel that very often new games in the genre are hard to discover, unless they have a big license like Marvel attached to them. Do you know of any good new games in the genre that came out this year? Indietitles and hidden gems are always appreciated.

Check out Absolum on Steam. Game of the year for me :)

You want Absolum. It's made by the same people who made SoR4, and it is excellent.

Absolum made me beat em up pilled. I crave post game. I'm playing Code of Princess and Streets of Rage 4 now to cope.
