I'm looking to pick up a new roguelite to get hooked on, does anyone have any opinions on these options?

(also, yes, one of these things is not like the others)

Game 334: Streets of Rage 4

In my eyes, this is what the pinnacle of the traditional beat 'em up looks like. A classic experience modernized and almost perfected, one that manages to evolve each and every aspect of the genre in a very organic way, while looking absolutely stunning in the process.

Game 333: Absolum

And here I am, once again, gushing about one of the best beat 'em ups ever made and my new favorite roguelite of all time. The impeccable art and animations, the fast and varied combat, the plethora of interesting characters, deep world building... I just love this one so much.

If you see this, QTP with an anime you'd give a perfect 10/10!

I only dropped 4 games this year:

- Anno because it bored me.
- BotW because 50 hours was enough for me
- Hollow Knight because I moved houses mid-playthrough and it ruined the flow
- Lords of Shadow because too many good games came out while I was playing it

Pretty good if I do say so myself.

Game 332: River City Girls 2

Bringing even more of the excellent combat, engaging exploration, and irreverent dialogue featured in the first game, this one is the definition of a "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." sequel, but with even more fun scenarios and over-the-top bad guys/gals to beat up.

Game 331: Streets of Red: Devil's Dare Deluxe

A really interesting roguelike beat 'em up, with a relatively simple combat system, but that makes up for that with its referential sense of humor, multiple routes to take on each run, and some really engaging boss fights. Good game!

I first played my all-time favorite game, Castlevania: SotN, when I was 21 years old, purely by chance, out of curiosity. It started as just some random game I gave a chance to.

What I'm trying to say is: keep an open mind to new experiences; you never know when you'll stumble upon a new favorite.

Game 330: Castle Crashers

Castle Crashers is a very funny game, with plenty of visual gags and quips sprinkled throughout. But it's also a really good beat 'em up, with plenty of variety, a really satisfying little combat system and some of the coolest boss fights in the genre.

These are just some games I hope to play next year. Do you have any games you’re planning to play?

Nevermind those jumpscares, what I really love is a good jumplaught! Just an unexpected joke in the middle of the scene to make me laugh out of nowhere, that's the best thing.

Game 329: The TakeOver

The TakeOver is a game that proudly embraces its inspirations, yet still manages to forge its own identity thanks to a unique and striking presentation, and a very satisfying combat system.

There are also explosions. Lots and lots of explosions. So, you know, good stuff.

Marvel Cosmic Invasion will finally be among us next week!

So, to celebrate, I'm going to dedicate this week to some of my favorite modern beat 'em ups, highlighting one per day until the big day. We'll have turtles, knights, angry teenagers, and a whole lot of rage in the streets. Let's do this!

Mortal Kombat XL and two extra games for a great price!
Mortal Kombat: Elder God Bundle is $13.05 on Steam (likely a price error) buff.ly/LDRevwg

includes MK1 + MK11 + MKX and related DLCs

Cheaper than MK1:DE itself

Game 328: Tiny Toon Adventures: ACME All-Stars

This show had a surprisingly solid lineup of games back in the day, courtesy of Konami back when it was at its peak. And among them was a really fun and chaotic compilation of sports games, and one of my favorite multiplayer titles from that era.

It's right around the corner, words cannot describe how excited I am to finally get this one 💚

Man, I love discovering new games out of nowhere so much.

Today I stumbled opon this roguelike beat 'em up called Streets of Red, and turns out it is made by the same studio as Double Dragon Gaiden, one of my favorites of all time.

Needless to say, I spent the whole afternoon playing it 🔥
