All the classic tropes are here: punches, kicks, combos, weapons to swing and throw. Gameplay is reminiscent of classic side-scrolling beat ‘em ups from the arcade and early Sega/Nintendo eras, like River City Ransom, Renegade, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, etc. Everything about the visual and audio aesthetic blends together into a perfect presentation of what a Scott Pilgrim game should feel like, preserving the whimsical and action-packed tone of the books and film. Scott Pilgrim is a 16-bit styled, side-scrolling beat ‘em up, with art directly inspired by Bryan Lee O’Malley’s books (with artistic liberties delivered in the form of over-animated bouncing boobs and Ramona sans pants for some reason), featuring an original soundtrack by the iconic chiptune band Anamanaguchi.
