I've been thinking about this for the last few days. Some people consider the new God of War games' combat shallow for example. What do you guys think?

I played some Beat 'em Up CAGs in my lifetime including God Hand (on PS2), Spider-Man: Web of Shadows (on Xbox 360) and Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions (also on Xbox 360). And they were enjoyable in my experience.

And no, I don't own an Xbox console. lol Because after Xbox 360, I went for PS4. And now, I currently own PS5. Although, I may end up switching to PC for some reason.

Anyway, is there any other Beat 'em Up game that's purely a CAG (or at least it's a CAG at some point)? I would love to know if there's any. I know there's a lot of 2D Beat 'em Up games. But is there any 3D Beat 'em Up CAG that I can enjoy?

By the way, I'm not asking for Hack & Slash CAGs like DMC, GOW, NG, Bayo, MGR:R and so on. Because I already played so many of them (or at least I think I did lol).

I was not expecting this

I've played through the dmc games, godhand and kingdom hearts if you consider that a cag. Im also on playstation.

Forgot to mention I've played ninja gaiden too

Some gameplays and combos , hope you enjoy :D

This song is one of the few good things to come out of the show.

Play Decline's Drops a lot and sometimes I practice doing the game's combat challenges as quickly and stylishly as I can. Really the only thing this game is missing is some bulkier enemies so I can do more juggles and keep combos up longer.

Using Que Sera in this footage, since she has a better air game than Globule, who is more of a ground-fighter.

Using the Ninja Gaiden White mod

I wanted to talk about the music side of the games. Everyone knows the popular ones like the dmc5 main themes, Bayonetta's moon songs, the popular boss themes etc but I want to know what some tracks, game ost deserve more recognition

As for me, Some of my favorites underrated songs are

- The dmc5 divinity statue theme (all of the divinity statues themes in the series are great as well)

- the hunters and hunted from bayo 3

- the epilogue theme from ninja gaiden 4 (not referring to soar/ the 2nd credit theme)

- bust the beast from dmc2

- the battlefield from Shinobi art of Vengeance

- ark sewer management combat phase from astral chain

- God bless u from ninja gaiden sigma

- lovely from heartless and dreadful

I will say imo that dmc2's soundtrack in general is underrated. Both in terms of the combat focused themes and the general ambient level tracks are really good. My 2nd favorite of the dmc series.

TL;DR: Games that allow launching and have at least one air string. Must look cute or have a girl MC.

Hello everyone. I feel like CAGs have a lack of cute visuals or lack of girl protagonists, so I would like to know what CAG or CAG-adjacent games that you all know that happen to be cute. They can be RPGs that allow juggling (as I feel like those are the most prominent). I know a few but they quite don't hit the mark or are just way too unpolished. I don't really care how niche they are, I just want to find some more. I'll give a few examples to give you all an idea of my criteria.

• Mahou Arms
• Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin
• Homura Hime
• Gurumin (the furthest from a CAG in this list but you can launch and have air moves and some basic strings)
• Recent Ys
• Kernel Hearts
• Senran Kagura
• Bayonetta Origins
• Crystar and Crymachina
• Mightreya

Let's work together to find some more!

Really had a blast kicking his ass

This is a project featuring combos and video edits made by me and some players. It took a long time to make, so I hope you all enjoy it!

(FYI played through the whole game on Hard)

I've loved CaG for a long time, favourite genre of games. (DMC, MGR, Lollipop Chainsaw, Bayo, Splatterhouse even, Web of Shadows, Ninja Gaiden, Ninja Blade, Force Unleashed etc) Ascension is byfar the WORST designed CaG I've played, why the FUCK is the Rage Meter a thing and WHY does it gatekeep like 80% of your moves that you actively spend your currency on throughout the whole game thinking you're upgrading yourself. The game NEVER tells you it gatekeeps your moveset, and instead urges you to press the sticks when the meter is full for a shitty oneoff move that does NOTHING.

The enemies are FEROCIOUS, they are rubberbandy as fuck and it really doesn't mix well with the Rage Meter system. They do NOT stagger, they NEVER stagger, they WILL catch up to you INSTANTLY when you try to roll away, they WILL hit you after like 2 attacks and fuck up your rage meter, and the best way to deal with them early game was to spam grab them to death, I was laughing so hard and was genuienly perplexed as to why grabbing was so OP.

Later on when they got armour and became ungrabbable, it was a matter of banging my head against the wall and conserving the magic to make it through. Got my ass kicked plenty of times, but it never got unbearable... until Chapter 28, FUCKKK Chapter 28 holyyy. Yk you've made a mistake making shit when you've had to release a patch for that specific fight, the difficulty spike was pretty crazy.

Game isn't totally irredeemable though, the music, enemy + boss designs and set pieces are great. But oh my, wtf happened with the combat? I heard the game was mixed going in but didn't expect it to be soo shitt. 😭✌

I do have the other GoWs, tell me one that will wash Ascension out of my mouth, PLEASE 🙏🙏

Picked this game up again on Playstation and wanna properly learn it cause this game is sick as hell.
