Bang Bang

Loaded the Dungeon Fighter Online open beta last night....I'm impressed.  I love side scrolling brawlers with an eerie passion, so said love isn't unexpected, but I'm really enjoying mashing the attack button in this game.  It's not River City Ransom--what could be?--and I haven't even done a dungeon in "multiplayer", but the goblin-punching execution works, especially when you get to the first big boss, a screen-tall minotaur that's easily 5 times harder that the first boss minotaur they toss at you.  My favorite part of any beat-'em-up is finding an enemy large enough to last through the crazy carnage you can dish out, and that huge jackass did not disappoint: I juggled him like a beach ball and he still stood up and knocked me across the screen.  The free price point makes it that much more recommendable even though I don't know how the rest of the game is and I've only played as the fistfighter (punch them in the face).  Oh, for the record: you can play as a gunfighter who shoots assholes with a gattling gun. In the face.

She's totally about to give him the German Suplex Bridge.  Hell yes.

The art direction's, well, Japanese (read: spiky hair, gamut of "moe" stereotypes, boobs.  I don't care if it's actually Korean, pay respects to the masters of perv), but the graphics are smooth and appealing to those of us weaned on brawlers like Streets of Rage and King of Dragons.  Plus, you can suplex people.  What's not to love?

I love a good face-punching.
