List of beat 'em ups

This is adynamic listand may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help byadding missing itemswithreliable sources.

Beat 'em upsare video games which place a fighter or group of fighters in a world of many adversaries, and the goal is to defeat them via punching or kicking or striking with handheld weapons such as clubs.

It is often useful to characterise gameplay as either 2D (largely characterised by the player walking only to the left or right) or 3D (characterised by full movement in the implied horizontal plane, sometimes also with a button for jump). Graphics can likewise be categorised as 2D (withsprites,sometimes with anisometricorparallaxeffect) or 3D (polygons), or hybrid (e.g. sprite characters in front of polygon backgrounds, or vice versa).
