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 🔥

Game 327: Streets of Rage 2

Easily one of the best beat 'em ups of all time, it wasn't the first game in the genre that I played, but it was definitely the one that ignited my passion for it. The combat feels amazing, it looks really slick, and dude, THAT SOUNDTRACK!! I just love this one.

This is your cue to recommend me an underrated indie game.

It doesn't matter the genre, if you think it's worth playing, then throw it my way!

(The GIF is from The Pathless, and I recommend it to everyone, it's a wonderful game)

Imagine basing your entire personality around disliking popular things.

My favorite characters of 2025? That's easy.

Game 326: Zack and Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure

Capcom took a quick glance at the Wii Remote and went like, "dude, I have like 200 ideas on how to use this controller." And that's how one of the most charming and creative adventure games the company has ever made was born.

After many years of wanting to play it, I finished F.I.S.T. for the first time last week, and had an absolute blast doing so. I fell in love with that world, and was very happy to see it being brought back for another adventure.

Needless to say, this whole thing makes me very disappointed. Oh well.

Game 235: Castlevania - Rondo of Blood

Decided to come with a banger today. Peak Castlevania goodness, starring a fan-favorite Belmont and offering a challenging and highly replayable adventure, thanks to its multiple alternate paths. Also, it has one of the greatest soundtracks in all of gaming.

What are your favorite games from Square|Enix that aren't Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest?

Squaresoft's run on the PS1 has got to be one of the strongest in all of gaming, and I'm not even an RPG guy.

(I know three of these games are technically RPGs, but I digress)
