Relive ‘90s action with these arcade classics
Beat 'Em Up Collection (QUByte Classics) is a premium collection of action games that brings together seven classic side-scrolling brawlers. It's built for players who enjoy old-school combat and want to revisit the arcade-style challenges that defined much of the ‘90s gaming era. The compilation is straightforward yet varied, giving you a wide mix of settings and combat approaches.
With Beat 'Em Up Collection (QUByte Classics), you can expect a bundle that celebrates retro gameplay while offering small but useful updates. It is not about reinventing the beat-’em-up genre, but rather preserving its raw form in a more accessible way.
Stories from different worlds
Beat 'Em Up Collection (QUByte Classics) presents a wide variety of storylines. First Samurai and Second Samurai take you through time-traveling battles against demons, while Legend and Sword of Sodan deliver dark medieval settings filled with magic and monsters. Gourmet Warriors goes for a strange post-apocalyptic twist, Iron Commando mixes in military action, and The Tale of Clouds and Winds explores a classic Chinese tale.
The collection is about beat-’em-up action. You progress through levels, fight waves of enemies, and take on larger bosses at the end. Each title offers its own fighting style, from weapon-based combat to hand-to-hand martial arts. Some games add light puzzles or branching paths, which help keep the pace fresh. Both single-player and multiplayer options are supported, so you can enjoy the arcade feel whether alone or with a friend.
What makes the package more approachable are the modern extras. The rewind function gives you a second chance in tricky fights, and cheat options let you adjust the challenge to your preference. Additionally, control remapping and digital manuals add flexibility. The 2D pixel art graphics may bring nostalgia, but for some players, they might also feel too dated. Moreover, certain titles tend to play a bit clunky.
