unlabelledView post →Huge warning make sure to make your own save before playing with friends. If you join a friends game without starting your own save the character progression wont be saved so when you make your own save all the progress made on your friends game will be reset to your own save. Lost an hour and a half of progress games still pretty fun though.

Rather than try to catch up on the entire Kunio-kun series as is morally mandated by our one true deity Release Order, I will instead immediately be playing hit new River City-inspired game Scott Pilgrim EX

It carries DNA from the SP game I worked on ... 16 years ago, but now fully realized with some crazier ideas & mechanics. I'm proud of the game and our team @tributegames.com. Enjoy! youtu.be/-MnkUw9FL_Y?...
unlabelledView post →Intro animation is killer, gameplay and animations are even smoother than the first game, and once again we have a common Anamanaguchi W with the soundtrack. Definitely have to recommend! Edit: After now having played almost 70 hours of the game, I have a more detailed review of the gameplay itself. Compared to the first game, the gameplay is SMOOTH. Every move fluidly moves between each other in a very satisfying manner. Other than the bugs that the dev team has already mentioned will be…

unlabelledView post →Pros: 1: Gorgeous art. Paul Robertson has only improved with time. The art was great in Vs The World, and it's great now. The backtracking isn't a con because you'll spot new things in the environments you didn't see the first few times. 2: Great music as expected from Anamanaguchi. I'm almost certainly going to listen to it for a lot longer than the 5 hours it took me and my partner to beat this game. 3: Very accessible multiplayer options (I can't imagine this being fun at all without…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hell yeah! Scott Pilgrim EX just got DLC. Kim Pine, Knives Chau and Stephen Stills are now finally playable in the game, and god knows how many people I talked to who were upset about the first 2's absence. Plus Arcade mode as a free update, another thing I really wanted. Cool.

unlabelledView post →I decided to get Scott Pilgrim EX and it’s pretty cool. It’s way more River City than the first game. I thought it would be interesting to compare the two games. I think all the characters look better in the new game but I kind of miss the grit in the BGs in the original.
unlabelledView post →Good, very good even. If you loved the old game, you will like this one. It has nice changes/additions like quests, a "open" world, the ex friends as playable characters and naturally a banger soundtrack thanks to anamanaguchi again. https://anamanaguchi.bandcamp.com/album/scott-pilgrim-ex-original-soundtrack found that the ost is buyable on bandcamp

unlabelledView post →First impression is that it's really fun, I appreciate actually having a basic movelist without having to grind to max level.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →tl;dr - Buy this game only if it's on sale for pretty cheap. Not really that interesting in my honest opinion. Cannot in good faith recommend this for anyone that is a Scott Pilgrim fan and has played more games in the beat 'em up genre since playing the original Scott Pilgrim game 16 years ago. FIRST IMPRESSIONS I should start off by saying that this game is... a fine beat 'em up. If you like basic beat 'em ups then you will find some enjoyment here, especially with friends. However, I find…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For the price and duration of the game, I wouldn't recommend buying this. I would recommend getting it on a sale. The soundtrack is really great, just like the first game. However, the gameplay doesn't match up to the first game. Bouncing against walls trying to jump over a wall, dropping your weapon if you run too far away from your coop buddy and hit the side of the screen, falling off of edges because you accidently started dashing and you can't stop, etc. I would give this a 5/10…

unlabelledView post →Past mission 6 the bosses start getting really bad and even normal enemies start getting super obnoxious, as if they only playtested half the game. I wish I could recommend this, it has a lot of cool ideas they probably had lying around they wanted to do for years... but this game NEEDS something like the Shredder's Revenge moveset to make this work. You are not agile at all. You will die a lot, I could accept it being a difficult game but it is a CHEAP difficult game and commits a lot of the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wait... Wait wait wait... What if *every* ex is playable and that's why the game is called Scott Pilgrim EX
unlabelledView post →While the core gameplay is fun I am disappointed in the amount of content for the price. Playing solo I was able to blast through the game in 5 hours, including some unnecessary secret hunting/backtracking or getting lost. I don't blame the game for the latter and maybe more will be added in the form of free or paid DLC, but as it stands I just wish there was more to sink my teeth into. This is probably best enjoyed with friends on harder difficulties.

unlabelledView post →I was extremely disappointed with this game, soundtrack is not as memorable, art direction and sprite work are way less expressive and feel clunky. I cannot conceive how the story is as mediocre as it is, considering this is serves a sequel to Takes off. To truly drive the final nail in the coffin is the multiplayer. Me and a friend tried repeatedly to play co-op and consistently ran into connection issues. The only positive I can say is game play, in that it works and is serviceable.…

The game is neat, lots of cute stuff, they make it stretch a little long, but the crossplay is super busted. Lots of glitches caused by it.

unlabelledView post →Scott Pilgrim EX is *really* good, goddamn. Gameplay-wise the pacing is so much better than the first game it’s crazy. And that new @anamanaguchi.bsky.social SOUNDTRACK 😍
unlabelledView post →Since I'm working on the next beat-em-up book, I finally sat down and played through Scott Pilgrim EX. Great game, big improvement over its predecessor, but it's a little too briskly paced. Lots of fun ideas that feel like they don't get the time to breathe.
unlabelledView post →this game feels awful to move around in, in comparison to the first game. no side stepping, no dodge rolls, and feels like im constantly walking on sticky slime or something. usually this would be a dealbreaker, but i gave it a chance and it isn’t the worst movement in a game ever. the writing is shallow, with characters playing one-note versions of themselves, even some of the music is annoying. seems they just wanted to cash in on the recent show’s popularity instead of making a good game.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love Paul Robertson's art. I'm glad I played a game with gorgeous visuals. The OST is a banger too. Also, She's 17, Scott.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TBH, can't recommend this game. It feels painfully shallow, unfinished, and definitely not worth the full price. The game plays fine, but there's barely any progression, lots of minor annoyances, and tons and tons of backtracking. The enemy design isn't amazing, and there's not a lot of music that captures my attention when compared to the first game. It's also 4 hours long and is not worth replaying at all. Overall, just a massive disappointment for me.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →it’s a decent game, but it’s super padded to last more than a couple hours. $30 for ts a scam, and they knew it. there’s also basically no progression, so the gameplay gets kinda stale towards the and. wait for a sale
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Scott Pilgrim EX is a cute little game that I’m still kinda baffled exists to be honest
unlabelledView post →Finished Scott Pilgrim EX. Yeah, this wipes the floor with the previous game. It's funny too, the original was definitely riffing on River City Ransom, but this one just straight up feels like a real RCR game, even moreso than the (also awesome) River City Girls games. Can't wait to play again!
unlabelledView post →Having just finished my first playthrough last night with Ramona, I can say I like what they've got goin' on here! It's very much a love-letter to the River City Ransom franchise, and in my opinion is paced a bit better than River City Girls 2 is (which is another great beat-em-up if you like this one, but it can run a bit long in a singular playthrough if you're attempting to do everything in it by beat-em-up standards). If I had any criticisms that come to mind immediately it is that the…

unlabelledView post →Man this is a lot more than I expected. Balances the RPG mechanics and actual fighting so much better than the original and most beat em’ ups with RPG mechanics in general. Visuals are amazing, the Scott Pilgrim energy is here in full force, and awesome music. This a full-ass and complete adventure.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Can not recommend this game in its current state. At full launch, Sprites for Progression-critical NPCs were missing, according to a bunch of discussion-threads losing or overperforming in certain bossfights leads toa softlock, now I ran into a similar issue with an invincible boss down to the last hit it takes. Refund request has been issued. Hope the game gets patched, but maybe it should ahve been released in a properly working condition.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As much as a fan I am of the Scott Pilgrim Series, from the books, movie, first game, and the animated series I've watched/played, Scott Pilgrim EX is a rather mediocre game. It's not downright bad by any means. There's been some love put into it, but unfortunately that can only get so far when it comes to making a good game. == STORY 5/10 == Avoiding spoilers, this game's story is a generic time travel plot. Which is not bad, if done well. I feel like it was a little undermined by…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Scott Pilgrim EX is a great beat 'em up filled with great combat, a nostalgic world, and light RPG systems that all work wonderfully together. It's also flawless on the #SteamDeck. A copy was provided by Tribute Games for review. steamdeckhq.com/game-reviews...
unlabelledView post →For the length of the game, the asking price may not be worth it to many, but I feel that the quality of its assets absolutely make up for it. Compared to Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game, its gameplay is much more polished and satisfying, its art and music are a vast improvement, the online is actually functional (if just a little buggy), and there's no Ubisoft. My biggest complaint would have to be visual clarity. A few assists and certain moves from some characters' movesets basically…

unlabelledView post →Very short game. As simple as a side scrolling bean-em-up is, I expected more. More moves, more items, more areas, just more. This game seems rushed, hurried, incomplete, and less than the first scott pilgrim game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's just the game prequel comic with some extras... but you bet I'm buying a physical version of that. There's not a ton there, but I loved it. ...God I gotta replay Scott Pilgrim EX. Great game. Far better than the first one, IMO. Also a nice little followup to the show, tbh.
unlabelledView post →Game just feels bad and clunky to control, especially after cosmic invasion and shredder's revenge, almost every aspect of the game feels sluggish or lacking on purpose to pad game time or fake difficulty. You can save yourself the time and money and skip this Tribute release. Hope their next game is better.
