But if you fall into that camp, like myself, there's a good chance you've already played this game and will enjoy a brief trip back to the heady days of 2010.

This is a big pixelated love letter to obsessives of the series or a very specific type of beat-em-up from the 16-bit era, and to pretend that others will be able to stomach some of the game's purposefully anchrasotic touches because of how good the Anamanaguchi soundtrack is or the fact that Joseph from the comics can be spotted in the background is probably a bit disingenuous.

And considering this remaster gives you a chance to experience the full game plus every piece of content that was released for it before it got delisted, then this undoubtedly an easy sell for fans.Īll this being said, it's hard to wholeheartedly recommend Scott Pilgrim for the merely curious. It's basically one of those rare instances where you'll be willing to fight through your misgivings just to enjoy soaking up the nerd chic on offer.
Similarly, the game's chiptune soundtrack sounds like it was recorded for an unreleased Nintendo game and popped seamlessly on top of this, making it as wonderful and memorable as any retro tune you've heard. References to Mario's overworld screen raise a chuckle, while watching a special item disappear in front of Scott's face will smuggle some laughs from fans. The 16-bit art style captures the tone of the comics near perfectly, alongside the humour of the comics. You see, despite the frustrations with the game's combat, this might just be one of the most well-realised tie-ins ever.
And by that, I mean, having to unlock a counter feels a bit stingy. While you'd hope for a natural evolution of your powers to take on all-comers, instead the early hours seem like you're fighting with one hand tied behind your back, forcing yourself through levels so you can get abilities that dramatically improve your chances. The main issue stems from what your fighter can and can't do at the start of the game. It's a rudimentary system that wants to add depth to the experience, which it eventually does, but not without introducing a fair amount of grinding to begin with. Whatever character you initially choose - you've got a choice between Scott, Ramona, Stephen Stills, Kim Pine, and included DLC extras in Wallace Wells and Knives Chau - has the same basic moveset and stats, which you level up by beating chumps up and buying stat boosts from stores dotted around the places you wander through.
