Killing enemies rewards with coins that you can spend at the shop to increase health, guts, and even one of four stats Willpower, Strength, Speed, and Defense. Running out of health sends you back to the main menu, whereas guts will revive you if you have enough of it along with allowing you to perform special moves - all pretty stock standard stuff. “Each level just felt boring.”Įach playable character has health and guts points. Despite the fact this is a remaster in 2021, the game still feels dated.

This game is designed to be played with a keyboard or with a d-pad as using an analog stick to complete certain moves is extremely clunky. A lot of the moves you learn actually serve a purpose in taking down your enemies that is when they work, of course. This is the case in Scott Pilgrim, but not for the reason you would think. Like all brawlers, the moves you learn along the way can be hit and miss. However, I would have liked to see them tell a more extensive narrative, and, personally, it seems like a waste of a license. This is slightly altered in the game as you can select various characters and level them up to increase their movesets. Scott Pilgrim falls in love with the American delivery girl, Ramona Flowers, but must defeat her seven evil exes to date her. If you have read the graphic novels by Bryan Lee O’Malley or watched the film adaptation featuring Michael Cera, you’ll know the premise of the story. It’s a satisfying time fighting through the streets, but ultimately, that is all it is.

After an unexpected delisting from digital stores in 2014, Scott Pilgrim returns in the ideal form of a co-op beat ’em up. Having watched the live-action film recently during the pandemic, it seemed fitting to continue with the complete edition of Scott Pilgrim Vs.
