/vr/ - Retro Games

A new MS was said to be greenlit internally years ago but with nothing since. MS Tactics is supposed to be out this year, and old Nazca/pre-bankruptcy SNK staff are doing a spiritual successor albeit with sprited characters in 3D environments.

Personally I want Sengoku 4 and Shock Troopers 3 (in the style of ST1). Maybe a reboot of 3 Count Bout (I just want an arcadey wrestling-fighting game and I don't think we're going to see Slam Masters 3 out of Capcom).

Any Sengoku bros ITT? I'm not on /vr/ too often but I assume that Sengoku 3 is cool here despite being a 2001 release, what with being a pre-bankruptcy Neo Geo title.

I really love the combat system in this game; very freeform and expressive with the juggling and dash cancels. I imagine that two very good players could create some insane ToDs if they were coordinated enough. The hitboxes (especially on the spike hazards) could've been touched up though, and the bosses are loaded with i-frames (especially the two unlockable characters and the final boss) that are generally only circumvented by constantly going for grabs.

Sengoku 3 is a great example of what you're talking about. As far as beat-em-ups go, that one relies on mastery of its combat system. It rewards the player - literally in the game as well as intangibly - for their mastery.

Princess Crown, Guardian Crusade, The D&D Arcade series, Battle Circuit, and some Vanillaware games function more like RPG's and reward net time spent, or plain survival, to feed the gameplay loop with items, monies and such.

Certain games do either style well, and other do them quite shittily. beat-em-ups can get tricky to dissect because their origin was just to keep the quarters flowing.

Don't mind me
I'm the second best Beat Em Up of all time
