About

Scott Pilgrim is back in a brand-new brawling adventure.

20XX in Toronto. The city is under control of three powerful groups – Vegans, Robots, and Demons. However, the masterminds pulling the strings remain unknown. When Scott Pilgrim’s bandmates mysteriously disappear, an exciting new journey unfolds as he sets out to find them!

As a gaming enthusiast, I’d put it this way: In Scott Pilgrim EX, I step into the shoes of Scott Pilgrim, Ramona Flowers, and other characters as we journey through the fractured Toronto landscape, a city where time and space are twisted. The combat is all about instinct and improvisation – a frenetic dance of fists and flair that rewards strategy, spontaneity, and a healthy dose of brawling chaos. I can string together slick combos, play around with zany weapons, and unleash outrageous special attacks. My characters can be enhanced with badges that boost their stats and offer unique perks. I’ll traverse a city filled with interconnected levels, meeting familiar faces, taking on quests, and unearthing hidden treasures. The best part? Multiplayer cooperative play allows up to four of us to jump in and join the action, whether it’s locally or online, making for a fun, ever-evolving experience.
