Out of every belt scroller I've played, Shadow over Mystara is the one I've felt has the most complexity without being a long game. Love the combat and how close each character is to their D&D class. I really need to unseal my PS3 copy.

If the game doesnt have "scrolling conveyor belts" that the player can get thrown off of then its just a regular beat-em-up. Otherwise you can cram your meme

>muh complex som

Not really. som is like the easiest beat-them-all ever made. it's one of those games that has a high learning curve (because of the menus and shit) but extremely low skill requirement. that game is more about watching other people play the game at the arcade and learning the weaknesses of the bosses, then just emulating it.

great game, but super duper easy peasy.

Streetfighter 2 is a non scrolling fighter right?

>> No.3783535

No they didnt

>> No.3784680

I like beat em ups.

Though is most of the appeal to play with friends? Because I don't have any friends

Should really have gone all in on this one, OP.

It was ok, if a little bare-bones and on the easy side of difficulty. I liked Double Dragon Neon a lot more.

It looks decent. I just hope they put as much focus on tightening the gameplay as much as they're trying to be funny.

no, diablo is a bladder-filler simulator
