also you should all play Sakuna of Rice and Ruin once xseed is finished translating it. It's a beat 'em up/rice farming game designed by a literal rice farmer part of the same team that made astebreed and fairy bloom freesia. If you look at those scarf grab environment chain-damage throws and juggle launching enemies into groups of other enemies and think that isn't the best looking shit ever you have awful taste.

It looks absolutely amazing and if you follow the lead, Nal, he posts all his experiments with things like how loading is handled, how hit stopping is handled and it just reeks of someone who knows the absolute ins-and-outs of the genre and is making the best game they possibly can.
Seriously, it looks amazing.

Is Kami no Ken a beat 'em up or a cuhrazy? There's no combo meter (not complaining) but the game rewards agressive but skillful play (though it more rewards being a total shithead) and gives you the tools to build your own stylish fighting style.

I have played dragon's crown, if you played the capcom's dungeons of dragon, it's essentially like that. I find using the right stick to click on things like treasure, doors and runes fucking retarded, but other than that it's a decent game with a selection of bosses or 'bosses', nice visuals, okay combat and varied amount of characters to choose from.

>Mistaking juggling for stunlock
>Implying variation in moves alone is what makes a combo
A combo is a series of attacks that are guaranteed to chain into each other after the first hit. Even fighting games have combos that are the "same move over and over". It doesn't need to be flashy to be considered one.
Regardless, my request for more of that type stands.

I feel like the evolution was more like:
> Double Dragon
Now let's add health bars
> Final Fight
More movements and better gameplay
> The Punisher
Now let's add some RPG elements
> Tower of Doom and Shadow over Mystara
Now let's get rid of that crappy interface and make a proper videogame
> Dragon's Crown
I wish they made more games like these, now I can't play anything else. Maybe I'll play again "King of Dragons" for the old times.
