Beat-‘Em-Up Fans Won’t Want to Miss This New PS5, PS4 Compilation

If you’ve already finished all the content in the Capcom Beat-‘Em-Up Bundle, enjoyed multiple versions of Double Dragon, and explored every aspect of Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind, there might be a new gaming experience that catches your eye.

QUByte Classics’ latest Beat-‘Em-Up Collection might not boast the most iconic or top-tier games, but it certainly offers a fresh batch of side-scrolling action titles to test your button-mashing skills on. You can grab it right now for £15.99/$19.99, and as a PS Plus member, you’ll enjoy a 10% discount!

Here’s the full list, alongside some additional information:

First Samurai
Originally developed by Vivid Image and released on the Amiga in 1991.
Second Samurai
A 1993 sequel from Vivid Image again release on the Amiga and published by Psygnosis.
Gourmet Warriors
A 1995 SNES game, previously only available in Japan. You collect ingredients and cook up recipes for stat boosts at the end of each stage.
Iron Commando
A 1995 SNES game, again only released in Japan. The original was planned to be published in Europe by Sony, but it switched its attention to PlayStation and cancelled the contract.
Legend
A 1994 SNES game, similar in style and theme to Golden Axe.
Sword of Sodan
One of the older games in this compilation, originally released on the Amiga in 1988. Again, it has a medieval fantasy flavour.
Water Margin
The Tale of Clouds and Winds: Originally released on the Mega Drive in Taiwan in 1996 without an official license from manufacturer SEGA.

The Tale of Clouds and Winds can be individually bought from the PlayStation Store, but they receive additional Trophies as part of this collection. Previously, Iron Commando and Legend were available in a similar collection called Beat-‘Em-Up Archives on PS4.

Still, there’s an opportunity to win a brand new Platinum trophy here. You can claim it by finishing all the games and accomplishing certain easy-to-achieve gameplay milestones.

This collection stands on modern elements such as save points and the ability to rewind, so you need not fret about encountering challenging retro obstacles that might seem hard to overcome.

It’s important to mention that for games initially launched regionally, they’ve been re-translated into English to enhance your gaming experience. While these translations might not be as polished as those in games like Final Fight, it’s beneficial to keep these games playable on contemporary devices, preserving them for future generations.
