It's good to see this on GOG though those who haven't played it should be aware that it didn't really pass the test of time. Combat and movement mechanics are clunky and the level design is pretty bland and generic. Asking 10$ is pretty steep for a game that you might quit after a few minutes. Hopefully this will lead to the release of Diablo 2 which is far superior.

Those 5 star reviews are obviously from people who dont truely have experience with old school beat em ups or got a hard on from the loli art style. As someone who's been playing beat em ups on SNES since I was 5 years old, this game does not impress me at all. The available moves are extremely limited compared to games that came out 20 years ago (TMNT, Super Double Dragon). You have jump, attack, dash, atk+dash, grapple/throw and a special move that drains your HP regardless of if it connects which is very bad design. You can chain normal attacks with the special move for combos (for no HP loss) but it strongly discourage experimenting because you risk losing HP with a wrong input. The game does not have a story. The backgrounds are very bland and generic. The low quality and quantity of content does not justify the price tag even 50% off. The devs chose to throw in a cheap retro style filter to give the game an old school feel because it's design alone fails to achieve that. If you want a modern beat em up with an old school feel that is actually good check out Mother Russia Bleeds or Bud Spencer & Terence Hill: Slaps and Beans.
