The “beat ’em up” genre of video games is essentially the digital equivalent of a chaotic bar fight, but with more dramatic flair and significantly fewer legal consequences. These games drop players into the streets, alleys, and sometimes intergalactic prisons of fictional worlds, handing them one simple mission: punch, kick, and occasionally suplex everything in sight. Whether you’re a muscled-up vigilante in a sleeveless leather jacket or a mutant turtle with a grudge, the gameplay remains consistent—walk right, beat up identical goons who seem to have come from the same cloning facility, and continue until you reach a boss who’s roughly the size of a minivan. There’s always a street hot dog or inexplicably placed turkey dinner lying around for health, because apparently, consuming questionable floor meat is the key to superhuman endurance.

But what really makes beat ’em ups a treasure trove of ridiculous fun is their complete disregard for realism. You can suplex a shark, throw a motorcycle at a gang leader, or take down an entire army with nothing but your fists and a denim vest. The enemies arrive in predictable waves, politely waiting their turn to get knocked out, and they’re always color-coded so you know exactly how tough they are (because fashion equals strength, obviously). Whether it’s classics like Final Fight and Streets of Rage or more modern takes, the genre never fails to deliver the timeless joy of solving every problem with excessive force. After all, diplomacy is overrated when you can just button-mash your way to justice.
