Pu·Li·Ru·La is a surreal arcade beat 'em up created by Taito, first released in 1991. Pu·Li·Ru·La takes place in Radishland, a land where time is kept correctly flowing with a time key. However, "a bad man appeared and stole the time key to stop the time flow. The towns were attacked one by one, the time flow was stopped and they received damage", as the English translation explains. Zac and Mel, the playable characters, are requested by an old man to defend their town. The old man also gives the children a "magic stick" to fight with

Tem uma parte que parece Hong Kong 97

Utterly fantastic world and visuals; disappointing action.

The measly attack range and minimal moveset make it a pretty dull beat-'em-up, but I have to give it points for the acid-storybook presentation and the very silly score system, which involves turning enemies into chickens. Love that cover art, too!

Nonsensical and sparkling, Pu-Li-Ra-La is a beat-em-up revolving around spells that summon giant microwaves, enemies that lunge at the player with tusk-like pelvic appendages, and a really addled evil puppet.

Somewhere between Cho Aniki and Golden Axe, this game will keep you engaged with sudden dadaist visuals, while offering a combat experience that's simple but extremely well balanced, forcing players to be smarter about positioning and magic use timing than most beat-em-ups require.

I absolutely recommend it to beat-em-up devotees, and consider it a must for those obsessed with the kind of sparkly cotton candy visuals displayed in other games of this nature like Harmful Park or Stretch Panic. It's beautiful, trashy art that will entertain for the exact handful of hours it works to earn.

Weirdest coin munching beat em up I've played.
