HD resolution is clean and crisp, multiple plot decisions, character progression through leveling, smooth combat animation, multiple special moves
Nine lives isn’t enough on normal difficulty, skill point allocation is not saved, character unlocks restricted, versus mode is too hectic for 12 players, some input lag
It’s like this: Guardian Heroes is basically one of the best beat-em-ups ever developed, the end, and unless you actively and passionately hate the entire genre you have no reason whatsoever to buy and love this game as your own. The plot’s still surp...
Abstract: 2011 seems destined to be the Year of the HD Remake. With major publishers raiding their back catalogs for material to resell, both retail shelves and online marketplaces seem increasingly packed with familiar games from the last console generation (an...

Abstract: The Sega Saturn was host to a lot of games with cool ideas that most people never got to play, because the system just wasn’t a huge market success. Guardian Heroes is one of them, and it operated on the premise of combining Final Fight with Street Fig...
Abstract: I never played the first Guardian Heroes , so I didn't have anything to compare the remake to. That was a good thing because I didn't have to worry about battling feelings of nostalgia while reviewing this game. Based on what I've played in this 2011 re-r...
