A Streets of Rage clone with a more dynamic and intuitive combat
Hitboxes are more generous, there are more cool weapons, and you get to shoot people sometimes.
But it certainly doesn't capture the same magic aesthetically. Plus the whole experience is kinda brought down by the harsh time limit.
Also, this is one of those games where the "easy" mode is actually the "waste my time" mode. Fuck off, I play all the old retro games on easy! I have better things to do than replaying the same levels for 20 times just to get validation from other weirdos. I'm not gonna sit here and take shit from a pixel drawing of some fat dude.
