A fun beat 'em up reminiscent of the River City Ransom series with the stylish art direction of the comics and some very well-animated pixel graphics, along with a great co-op mode and some memorable boss fights. Sadly this game never got a proper PC port but it is possible to emulate the PS3 version on RPCS3 and you don't even need an especially powerful PC to do it.

A fun game, but too basic... unfortunately, it was rushed for release with the movie. The gameplay feels clunky, and there are few combos to experiment with against enemies. Paul Robertson's Pixel Art oozes with style, and the soundtrack from Anamanaguchi is very cute. This game is average, but if they made a sequel more robust, it could be a beat 'em up classic.
This game really rocked my socks! First beat-em-up I've ever really liked, if I'm being honest. The RPG mechanics really helped me to stay engaged and I loved the soundtrack by Anamanaguchi. There are a lot of cheap hits and some obnoxious bits of platforming due to the perspective and controls, but they never really impacted my enjoyment of the game. I just wish your characters' movesets were the slightest bit more fleshed out at the start of the game. You're basically slapping the same buttons over and over for the first quarter of the game.
I played through as Kim for my first time, and I'm looking forward to playing it again as another character. Maybe Wallace or Knives next.
