5 Old-School Beat ‘Em Ups That Could Use a Comeback

Powered Gear (Armored Warriors)

Recommended Videos

Sure, beat ’em ups are fun an all, but have you ever mixed giant mechs with your beat ’em ups? That’s just a recipe for success. Powered Gear, or Armored Warriors as it was called in the west, sees four mech pilots from the United Earth Government sent to the Principalities of Raia to investigate a hostile takeover attempt on their capital.

Over the course of seven stages, players can drastically upgrade their mechs with different accessories and weapons to pull off some pretty fun combinations. Powered Gear was also recently re-released as part of the Capcom Beat ‘Em Up collection.
