An update of an older Xbox Live Indie title (indie marketplace for the 360) that uses digitized actors as the playable and enemy characters in a beat em up. Over 20 characters to play as with their own combos and special attacks, with many of them also appearing as enemies. Many of the characters likely being friends of the developers but some being related to esports or internet personalities, so if you ever wanted to beat up Paris street gangs as the Nostalgia Critic, for some reason, you can do that.

Looking at the game you would assume it would be terrible but the attacks flow and animate fairly well, the combat is heavily combo focused with you having a light, heavy, and more powerful stamina (stamina relating to your ability to block not your health) using attack that changes style if you are stationary or holding up, down, or forward, you can block and parry, dodge, jump between three lanes like in Guardian Heroes, and build up fury to unleash three different special moves per characters.

Enemy types have a bit more variety than you would expect as they tend to fight differently and have different colored outlines that can signify different power levels or behavior.

Not amazing but fun for a bit, a lot deeper mechanically than I would have thought. Developer went on to work on Streets of Rage 4 that I thought was one of the best beat em ups I've played so surprising amount of talent here.
