Now, I don't play a lot of beat-'em-ups as I often find their gameplay to be as repetitive as those fake mobile games ads YouTube probably forced you to watch at the start of this video. But occasionally, ones like Absolum or Big Helmet Heroes will be great enough to tickle my fancy and earn a recommendation, genre misgivings aside. Is Lost Castle 2 such a game?

Scott Pilgrim EX, or EX, like ex-girlfriend (I guess that makes sense), is once again an arcade-style beat 'em up that blends elements of River City Ransom. It has features such as the ability to shop, explore an open city at your own leisure with set goals to follow, and even hosts light role-playing game elements.
