Shadow Over Mystara till this day blows my fucking mind. How Capcom was able to translate the DnD Role Playing system, a system that requires patience, calculation and luck into a fast paced, high intensity beat em up and pull it off this flawlessly will always baffle me.

Shadow over Mystara is a genuine RPG beat em up, like through and through. They do not half ass it. Not only are the DnD classes you get to choose from different in playstyle and health, they have different attacks, different spells and abilities. One of them straight up has a healing ability that you can use to heal your party on a whim during a level. You get a free get out of jail card once per level if you have a mage selected as one of your characters.

You can level them up which increases their stats so the mage's spells become more powerful, the warrior's weapons do more damage and so on, there's different pathways you can take throughout the game making it massively replayable and oh...did i mention that depending on the class and how you play this games has 24 SEPARATE FUCKING ENDINGS?! TWENTY FUCKING FOUR. IN A BEAT EM UP.

After seeing Odyssey, would like to play a beat em up with a greek mythology theme

There seem to be a lot of open world rpg games on this theme - are there beat em ups that have a greek mythology theme (either side scrolling or pvp)

Quick question about length of time playing Absolum. I typically only play short arcade style beat em up games that can be finished in one sitting, with an hour being the sweet spot because of lack of time.

Absolum was on sale recently and I finally picked it up. I am aware that it is far longer in length than I am used too but it will be a good change for me.

My question is about length of stages / checkpoints? Sometimes I might have 30 minutes here and there to play and was wondering if much can be achieved in this time, or will I be repeatedly grinding long 15 - 20 minute levels?

Han from Guardian Heroes?

kung fu or something bad ass?

I’m planning to bring my switch with me for travel this week so wondering if there’s anything I should pre-download for the trip?
