Sorta like one last reminder to pay attention and get your shit together.īeyond that, there’s not much to say. Mostly because it bails my ass out whenever I’m too lackadaisical with grabbing a healing item. Again, nothing too exciting, but I dig it. There’s also another power you have access to where your character temporarily becomes stronger and invulnerable whenever they are close to death. For most of the characters, it’s an AOE attack. For one, you have an “extra” special attack, that is limited to several uses per continue (life). Which isn’t to say that there aren’t a few extra things in play, as immaterial as they might be. An entire playthrough will last just under an hour, and moderately skilled players who have any familiarity with the genre should be able to clear it in one attempt. It’s pretty low-effort and unoriginal in that regard. Levels are short and simple, the enemy types are pretty limited in number, and the bosses don’t really throw too many curveballs. Gameplay is, as I said, pretty by-the-book.

Mileage will vary, as it were (I’m gonna say that a lot with the coming games). I like weird stuff, so I generally say, “yes.” But I also like coherent storylines, so… I guess the jury’s still out on this one. Is that sort of bizarre, lost-in-translation cheese a good thing? I dunno. Again though, good luck figuring out what it is. The mind boggles.Īlso, some of the characters from previous titles return, so presumably there is some sort of overarching storyline that is continued here. There’s a guy who talks in ye olde English, and Super Saiyan transformations. The Peacekeepers has one wrinkle in the form of a batshit insane story that makes no sense.

The best way to describe any of the games in this series is “kinda like Final Fight”, or “kinda like Streets of Rage,” or “kinda like any of those other games you probably played once upon a time.' You know the deal: punch dudes, kick dudes, throw dudes, occasionally beat up some token women dudes, pick up occasional turkey legs or medkits that are hiding inside of dirty crates or barrels, and occasionally take on some big gaudily-attired bosses. But they’re both good! Er, in their own ways. Brawl Brothers is better than The Peacekeepers. This is what happens when things drag on and playthroughs get further and further in the rearview mirror. Why did I think I liked The Peace Keepers more than Brawl Brothers? Am I getting the games mixed up? Do I like this one more? Argh, it's been a number of years since I played either one so I don’t know what to believe. I haven’t covered Brawl Brothers yet, have I? Shit, I haven’t… Closing out the Rushing Beat trilogy (which began with Rival Turf and Brawl Brothers) is The Peace Keepers.
