The Golden Age Of The Beat-’Em-Up: Part One
Support me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Bransfield
There was a time before the battle royale, the survival game, the FPS - and it involved smacking people with pipes and eating food off the floor. The beat-’em-up was once queen of all - though only for a short, golden era.
Part one looks at the rise of the genre, along with a few examples of companies who really ran with it. Part two will follow, and will conclude.
