Beat 'em up fans have been eating extremely well lately. We've had the return of Scott Pilgrim vs the World, the triumphant Streets of Rage 4, the weeaboo charm of River City Girls, and a host of lower profile indie titles such as Fight 'n Rage and The Takeover.
Final Vendetta is the lastest belt action brawler to release into what's increasingly becoming a crowded space. It was already going to be difficult for the game to carve out a place for itself among its peers and competitors, but it's also shared a release week with the Turtles themselves. That's right, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge came out within 24 hours of Final Vendetta, at the same price point, and it launched straight into Game Pass!
With a stacked deck working against it, can this love letter to Streets of Rage and Final Fight claim an underdog victory and become one of the greatest slug fests of all time?
