This article highlights 5 classic beat ’em ups that deserve more love! If you’re into the genre, check these out on your retro handheld!
64th Street: A Detective Story (1991): A gritty detective brawler with steampunk elements! Inspired the Rushing Beat* series.
- Arabian Magic (1992): A colorful Arabian Nights adventure with RPG elements, a genie summon, & fun vehicle levels (flying carpet!).
Monster Maulers (1992): A weird* one! More of a boss rush with non-linear progression & references to other Konami games.
B.Rap Boys (1993): An improved sequel to DJ Boy* with fast-paced extreme sports action (BMX, rollerblades) & a killer soundtrack.
- Armored Warriors (1994): Capcom at their best! Play as customizable mechs, collect enemy limbs to upgrade, and enjoy chaotic, limb-flying action.
The author played these on a Retroid Pocket Mini v2 and TrimUI Brick. Definitely worth checking out if you’re a beat ’em up fan! đž
