Gameplay is quite typical for the genre, like in Final Fight, Streets of Rage, or Cadillacs and Dinosaurs - players go right, beat the enemies (player has access to various attacks), collect bonuses and money, and fight against bosses, for example Dr. Saturn and his robots. Players' abilities can be expanded by purchasing special "upgrade discs" after the completion of levels using coins obtained from dead enemies. Less

We saved the best game in the Capcom Beat 'em up bundle for last.

This is easily my favorite, it's the first game in this bundle where I played with any intentions and not just mashing the attack button. I like the character designs, the progression, the 4 player multiplayer, and combos. Choosing upgrades has a tangible benefit unlike the prior games that seemed a bit vague with what effect upgrades had. I love the addition of fighting game inputs, it gave the game variety and gives the player freedom of expression and the ability to make decisions. Overall, this is probably my favorite beat 'em up, although I haven't played many.
