    Gekido Kintaro’s Revenge is a very simple beat-em-up which probably didn’t warrant a physical release on Switch. Unfair gameplay, unsatisfying visuals and sloppy proofing work mean this is one to miss.

It's truly playable, it has local multiplayer, it has great retro visuals and cool music... and it's CHEAP. So... what are you waiting for? :)

    EDIT: About gameplay, the game's mechanics aren't boring, thanks to a dose of platforming, exploration, and extra modes... it's a remaster, yes, but a very good one.    … Full Review »

The combat in Gekido: Kintaro’s Revenge feels fantastic, juggling is easy and satisfying to do, you have a range of special move combos to learn and even a special “keep away” attack to help with crowd control.
    It is responsive, vibrant and really hearkens back to the greats of a genre I love it.
    Relic Hunter sees you exploring randomly generated dungeons in search of Relics, like every other mode this is fully playable in Co-Op and adds so much to the games length.
    It’s worth tackling after you have done the story as it’ll throw late game enemies at you from the get go, overall it’s a tough but fantastic game mode and one I will continue to work through time and time again.
    If you love the genre, Gekido: Kintaro’s Revenge is one of the titles you have to get, the combat is great and the soundtrack is superb.    … Full Review »
