\"\"<\/a>A city is overrun with criminals and gangs, so you know what that means!\u00a0 It\u2019s time for four heroes to get out there and beat up all the bad guys on the city streets.\u00a0 Fallen City Brawl is a side scrolling beat \u2018em up that takes heavy inspiration from titles like Final Fight.\u00a0 It\u2019s available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on Switch here.<\/p>\n

You can choose from four characters, my favorite is the buff mechanic lady who carries around a big wrench to fight with.\u00a0 Two can play at the same time, too.\u00a0 You\u2019ll travel through seven stages with a boss at the end of each.\u00a0 One button attacks and one jumps.\u00a0 You can also do special attacks with another button, like throwing the wrench like a boomerang.\u00a0 Use button combos for different attacks, too.\u00a0 Defeated enemies will either drop money for points or gems that act like the magic system from Golden Axe.\u00a0 When you have enough, press the R1 button to do super attacks and sometimes even summon a white wolf to help you fight.<\/p>\n

Graphics are about on par with the NEO GEO, but I wish it wasn\u2019t so zoomed in as it\u2019s pretty blocky and pixelly.\u00a0 Normally that doesn\u2019t bother me so you know it must be bad here. But my main problem with the game is that it\u2019s too darn hard.\u00a0 On normal mode I couldn\u2019t get past the second stage.\u00a0 I got to stage 6 on Easy, but I hate that you have limited continues.\u00a0 I think games like this shouldn\u2019t have that.\u00a0 Otherwise the game sets out what it says to do, but I think the games that it\u2019s trying imitate are better.<\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fallen City Brawl is rated T for Teen with an ESRB descriptor of Violence.\u00a0 You punch and kick thugs who fall over and disappear with a muffled \u2018argh\u2019 when defeated.\u00a0 I grew up playing games like this and I turned out OK, so I\u2019d be all right with kids younger than teens playing this.\u00a0 Reading skill is helpful for the text but not necessary to play, but younger gamers may still find it too difficult.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
