Inspired by Nero's Buster, Cyber Slam for the 2D hand-animated Hack-n-Slash game I'm working on

18 Upvotes

We're a small indie team of 3 people working on Ghost Yantra, a 2D hand-animated Hack-n-Slash game with fluid Parkour mechanics. Set in a futuristic Indian Cyberpunk setting.

I'm sure many people here already know about Ghost Yantra but for those who are seeing Ghost Yantra for the first time. You can find more about the game on Steam. It would be great if you wishlist the game, it helps us a lot.

Recommendations Any suggestions for some Beat 'em Up CAGs?

7 Upvotes

I played some Beat 'em Up CAGs in my lifetime including God Hand (on PS2), Spider-Man: Web of Shadows (on Xbox 360) and Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions (also on Xbox 360). And they were enjoyable in my experience.

And no, I don't own an Xbox console. lol Because after Xbox 360, I went for PS4. And now, I currently own PS5. Although, I may end up switching to PC for some reason.

Anyway, is there any other Beat 'em Up game that's purely a CAG (or at least it's a CAG at some point)? I would love to know if there's any. I know there's a lot of 2D Beat 'em Up games. But are there any 3D Beat 'em Up CAGs that I can enjoy?

By the way, I'm not asking for Hack & Slash CAGs like DMC, GOW, NG, Bayo, MGR:R and so on. Because I already played so many of them (or at least I think I did lol).

Recommendations Some JRPG recommendations?

2 Upvotes

Hello!

I'm very much looking for recommendations, particularly in the JRPG range.

I'm currently playing through Final Fantasy 16, which I'm loving so far. And I have my eyes on Scarlet Nexus and Tales of Arise. I also played the demo for GranBlue Fantasy Relink.

What are other solid recommendations similar to games I've mentioned?

Many thanks in advance.

Edit: my main console of use is PS5. Recommendations for that system, please!

Question Do you think hack and slash games need to have air combat to be good?

24 Upvotes

I've been thinking about this for the last few days. Some people consider the new God of War games' combat shallow for example. What do you guys think?

Play Decline's Drops a lot and sometimes I practice doing the game's combat challenges as quickly and stylishly as I can. Really the only thing this game is missing is some bulkier enemies so I can do more juggles and keep combos up longer.

Using Que Sera in this footage, since she has a better air game than Globule, who is more of a ground-fighter.

Question In your opinion, What are some underrated songs / OSTs in the cage genre?

10 Upvotes

I wanted to talk about the music side of the games. Everyone knows the popular ones like the dmc5 main themes, Bayonetta's moon songs, the popular boss themes etc but I want to know what some tracks, game ost deserve more recognition

As for me, Some of my favorites underrated songs are

- The dmc5 divinity statue theme (all of the divinity statues themes in the series are great as well)

- the hunters and hunted from bayo 3

- the epilogue theme from ninja gaiden 4 (not referring to soar/ the 2nd credit theme)

- bust the beast from dmc2

- the battlefield from Shinobi art of Vengeance

- ark sewer management combat phase from astral chain

- God bless u from ninja gaiden sigma

- lovely from heartless and dreadful

I will say imo that dmc2's soundtrack in general is underrated. Both in terms of the combat focused themes and the general ambient level tracks are really good. My 2nd favorite of the dmc series.

Recommendations Cute CAG/CAG-adjacent games?

23 Upvotes

TL;DR: Games that allow launching and have at least one air string. Must look cute or have a girl MC.

Hello everyone. I feel like CAGs have a lack of cute visuals or lack of girl protagonists, so I would like to know what CAG or CAG-adjacent games that you all know that happen to be cute. They can be RPGs that allow juggling (as I feel like those are the most prominent). I know a few but they quite don't hit the mark or are just way too unpolished. I don't really care how niche they are, I just want to find some more. I'll give a few examples to give you all an idea of my criteria.

  • Mahou Arms
  • Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin
  • Homura Hime
  • Gurumin (the furthest from a CAG in this list but you can launch and have air moves and some basic strings)
  • Recent Ys
  • Kernel Hearts
  • Senran Kagura
  • Bayonetta Origins
  • Crystar and Crymachina
  • Mightreya

Let's work together to find some more!
