Violent Storm
While it may not get the same acclaim other Konami brawlers like The Simpsons and TMNT received, that doesn’t mean Violent Storm isn’t still an amazing game. This 1993 beat ’em up allows you to choose between three fighters: Wade, Boris, and Kyle.
Depending on which character you chose, players get to experience a lot of different styles in which to play the game. Where one character specializes in damage, another is much faster, meaning different ones thrived in different situations.
While this may not sound too revolutionary these days, the variety of moves, combinations, and weapons that were at your fingertips in Violent Storm was really refreshing when the game was released.
Even with only seven stages, the gameplay never gets old. A modern installment of the series would surely thrive, as its combat variation-styled gameplay is now the norm with most games in the genre.
