Description

Avengers is a 2D top-down beat'em up. The main villain, "Geshita", has captured 6 girls, and the player's character must defeat him and his men. The gameplay is very similar to many other beat'em ups, like Double Dragon but the action is presented in a different way - the player eliminates the dozens of enemies with fists and legs (he has 3 types of attack - punch, kick and roundhouse). He also collects the various power-ups - bonuses improve his strength, speed, or give additional weapons.

Spellings

The Good
The feeling of hitting things

The Bad
The bosses are terrible. Huge difficulty spikes.

The Bottom Line
Be prepared to wiggle wiggle.
