August 10, 200619 yr Are there any good beat-em-up type games for the PC? I'm not talking fighting games, mind you. Things more akin to Ninja Gaiden, God of War, etc. "Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger." - Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials "I have also been slowly coming to the realisation that knowledge and happiness are not necessarily coincident, and quite often mutually exclusive" - meta
August 10, 200619 yr Dynasty warriors is a good pure hack and slash. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
August 10, 200619 yr Severance: Blade of Darkness is kinda like a beat-em-up. The combat is just great although the graphics might be a little dated now, I haven't played it in years. We now bring you live footage from the World Championship Staring Final.
August 10, 200619 yr were the lord of the rings games ever ported to PC? I remember the Return of the King being pretty fun.
August 10, 200619 yr Go try out the Dark Messiah demo. Very fun melee combat. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
August 10, 200619 yr If you mean beat'em up as in Street Fighter and the like, you are playing on the wrong platform. But if it's just good melee combat you are looking for, Dark Messiah, Rune, Severance:Blade of Darkness, Drakan and Dynasty Warriors(number whatever) are good choices. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds

August 10, 200619 yr If you don't mind having some puzzles from time to time, Legacy of Kain: Defiance is a pretty sweet game. Story-wise it's also the sequel of Soul Reaver 2, so if you want to know how it ends...
August 10, 200619 yr Return of the King kicks ass, especially in co-op (don't try to play it with keyboard though) Edited August 10, 200619 yr by Xard How can it be a no ob build. It has PROVEN effective. I dare you to show your builds and I will tear you apart in an arugment about how these builds will won them. - OverPowered Godzilla (OPG)
August 10, 200619 yr Yeah, Defiance is good. Really fun combat and the story isn' all bad. You'd need to play the previus games in the series to get anything out of it though.

August 10, 200619 yr Go play Condemned: Criminal Origins. You can beat scum with Sledge Hammers, shovels, fire axes, gas pipes, pretty much everything you can grab around you. Very satisfying, but very violent too. Rain makes everything better.
August 10, 200619 yr Author Hmm...perhaps I should have clarified: I've played X-men Legends 2 and Blade of Darkness and Oni (I'd really like to have more games like this), and Streetfighter is a fighting game, not a beat-em-up. But so far we have: Dynasty Warriors (was this ported to PC?) Return of the King (ditto) Rune (what's that like?) Drakan (ditto) Legacy of Kain: Defiance thanks for the suggestions.

August 10, 200619 yr I suppose to a certain extent the Diablo games could be considered Beat-em ups? http://entertainmentandbeyond.blogspot.com/
August 10, 200619 yr No. "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian tourist I am Dan Quayle of the Romans. I want to tattoo a map of the Netherlands on my nether lands. Heja Sverige!! Everyone should cuffawkle more. The wrench is your friend.
August 10, 200619 yr Why not? It certainly has Beat-em up elements. Or is that click-em ups? :D http://entertainmentandbeyond.blogspot.com/
August 10, 200619 yr You don't do combos and special moves and blocks and stuff. "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian tourist I am Dan Quayle of the Romans.

August 10, 200619 yr Dynasty Warriors (was this ported to PC?) Yep. And Devil May Cry too. Rune (what's that like?) I've heard it's quite... mediocre. Unless I'm mistaking with something else. It's quite old isn't it?

REET GOOD!" - Me
August 11, 200619 yr Dynasty Warriors 4 was ported to PC. Its pretty entertaining at first, especially if you're familiar with the characters, but it gets boring after a while. I
August 12, 200619 yr Chaos Legion, Heavy Metal FAKK2, Nightmare Creatures, Urban Chaos.. all of which are not really good. For something truly worthwhile, especially if you like River City Ransom, check out Zombie Smashers X. Many of the Totally Screwed games are a blast to play. WHAT A HORRIBLE NIGHT TO HAVE A CURSE.
