Good new sidescrolling beat'em ups of 2025
(ani.social)
Check out Absolum on Steam. Game of the year for me :)
Thanks, I'll have a look!
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.
I don't know of any that came out this year (exception being cosmic invasion, which I'm sure you're aware of).
The last few that I played were River City Girls, Scott Pilgrim, Streets of rage 4, and mother Russia bleeds.
Oh, and Shredder's revenge, of course ๐
Know and played and loved all of those, but good thing you've listed them here. Never really finished Mother Russia Bleeds, so that might be worth another go. Thanks for reminding me.
Nice! MRB is definitely worth a replay! I actually replayed it recently and beat it this time. Younger me was trying to play it on hard mode like a psychopath... Lol
Ironically Marvel Cosmic Invasion came out December 1st and it's a very solid sidescrolling beat em up
Thanks, as I implied I'm pretty aware of that. Have you played it?
