This kinda looks bad man, Imma pass
The demo got removed later the same day for whatever reason. They promise to put it back up later, since they got iron a few kinks. From what I'm hearing, all of the characters control fine, though enemy AI can use some work on the mooks. The bosses themselves are fine. I like the like of the characters, but backgrounds are too plain looking and lack the style. I noticed this game is more for casuals, and I have no issues with this. City Connect can turn this around and I'm still interested. It won't beat Double Dragon Revive, but I will play RBX more than some brawlers that have come out recently.

BTW, here's an update on Toxic Crusaders @ExtraWildGames and @Worgen. This game got announced back in 2022 and had been mia for a long time.

Just got Slave Zero X, I kinda forgot it existed but then I saw it being on sale and realized it was out. Will have me some red cyborg ninja demon slaying action that’s for sure.

Good luck to you. I don't like the odd difficulty curve and got stuck somewhere at the 2/3 mark. I would've preferred a standard normal and hard mode.

If you're looking for robotic ninja action, check out Ninja Saviors.

Demo only available for a limited time? Boo.
I know. Which is why I am getting as soon as it gets to Monday morning. I really wish they would put the demo on consoles too. They ain't losing much money by doing that.

I wasn't big on the first game's combat. Then Hi-Fi Rush came out and it's hard to top that. The combat looks be improved and has a No More Heroes feel to it.

@Worgen, @NerfedFalcon, @ExtraWildGames

I tried the Rushing Beat X demo for the first time. Despite the game not looking so good with the backgrounds, the character models look good. The controls are actually pretty smooth and you attack on command. You can launch enemies in the by pausing combo and then juggling with either a regular combo or auto combo by holding the B or Y Button. Depending on what last attack button you use or directional inputs, the combo ender will be different. There are grapples moves unique to each character. A super meter that builds up, and automatically activates when full. RT is to activate a character's super ender. You can kick enemies while they are down with Y or B,

Weapons come in two flavors: limited use small weapons you can store, and press X bring out, or large weapons that break eventually, take longer to break, but you can's store them. You only get one life, but the game allows you to store food items for later use. You can also make food combinations, if you have the money and proper ingredients.

My only main problems with the game is dashing sometimes doesn't activeate, and characters move too slow. I started with the fastest character, Kaluha, and she still had trouble catching up to a zombie or one specific mini boss. Even when running/dashing properly. There was some minor slowdown too in the middle of one the fights. The enemy AI seems improved for the cannon fodder, but they're still pretty easy. The bosses and mini bosses provide a much better challenge. You can't change the control lay outs at all in the demo. Hopefully, the game allows control customization, because I like having my light attack button be on X/[SQR] and heavy attack be on Y/TRI.

There is a ranking system that's pretty easy to follow. This game is clearly more casual friendly, and that's fine. I do hope they add multiple difficulty modes when released. I do say give the demo a shot.

I might have to move up my timeline for picking up Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth after finding out this is one of the old Sega arcade games recreated in it, along with Virtua Fighter 3. (They're both also in Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii.) Never played it before, but I kinda want to, even more than the actual new LaD games.
