    The HD remixes to controls and visuals are nice additions, but the ability to switch back to the classic look and feel is welcomed.

    A must have for all 2D side scrolling beat 'em up lovers, with a lovely graphic style and a perfect gameplay.

    Those who missed it the first time around or those who're looking for a strange, beautiful, and challenging throwback should certainly take a look at Guardian Heroes. It's prettier, smoother, and just as satisfying as ever

    Its unfortunate that people think this is a button smasher. Although you are able to win or play by smashing buttons at some point, there is a lot of skill involved in the game. From counters to forcebacks, timing, mastering combos, reflects, and of course, your reaction time is important in any fighting game. The game is pretty well balanced if you know how to set the rules up. As a pro gamer, I'll say that this game is awesome, worth spending hours on just to improve your skills, and worth getting.

    Great game. Combine Smash bros and Street fighter with Castle Crashers and you're left with Guardian Heroes . Every character you beat you can play as in the arcade mode. Theres different branching stories and the play through is short but sweet, definitely a game made for multiple play-troughs. Gorgeous sprites, Great Music, and Enemies are never bland or over repeated. The online mode works without lag. You can grab a partner and go through the whole story mode or you can battle with the cast of over 48 characters . You can even play as civilians and tiny creatures like rabbits...but so long as you kill them in the story mode ! Great game great fun whats not to like? -The purchase of this game helps the chance of getting a sequel to this great game.… Expand

    sweet game. it's kind of like golden axe meets street fighter2 with better graphics. the story is a little cheesy but the button mashing is fun. the button combination are easily remembered resulting in some pretty stunning visuals. the only thing that detracts from this game, for me, is the hopping rows gameplay and the pretty awful dailog box art. other than that, it's good.… Expand
