Never heard of Anomaly Agent until I decided to play it on a whim this week. It's got a lot of Platinum Games' DNA in it, feels like a really fast paced Viewtiful Joe. Very solid, well thought out mechanics, lots of encounter variety, very high skill ceiling. It also doesn't feel like a parody of anything, the setting feels genuine.


It's on sale rn for cheap, I reccomend it.

That's probably the end of the line, I believe they don't have the rights for Skullmageddon or crossover characters like Wayforward does.
Well I dunno what they were thinking with Evil Marian there, unless it was "wow we accidentally made Normal Marian too underpowered, let's make the Evil version way better to compensate".

Fallen City Brawl gets new demo and will release August 12th:
Buccaneers Shipshape release:
King's Blade release:
can't keep up (:_(
 
I've been lazy.
Has anyone tried the G.I. Joe beat em up yet?
Is it even out? 😣

Marian is like the best character in the game her side special clears half the screen with no setup required, she has abobo damage with range but shes squishy to compensate.

It's been out a while. You can try the demo.

That is the joke I was attempting to make. Marian's bazooka is braindead but at least it stops when it hits something, Evil Marian's fireball keeps drilling through everything for free fullscreen 5x crowd controls until it leaves the playfield. I only took a five minute test drive but she seems super silly.
 
This is such an odd genre. It keeps getting new games; both stylized indies and mainstream ninja turtles type slop, but like. Why? I've heard of no one who buy them. It's the kind of shit people cheer for at video game awards but never buy.
 
It's cool but I just don't get excited for these "new" NEO•GEO games.

I buy them, but I'm a sucker for the genre.

Possibly the only kind of video game worth playing if I'm honest; certainly the only one where I bother keeping up with new releases.
