games like lf2?

[fittlelighter]

im looking for games that resemble lf2:

• 2d arena fighter
  
• anime/cartoonish sprites
  
• simple controls
  
• preferably pc supported
  

i was hoping people here could point me towards some good alternatives. so far im aware of:

river city ransom: underground (still in development)


wishmere (released on steam)


touhou dai undousai (status unknown)

FYI the mechanics of Little Fighter 1 was similar to Hot-Blooded High School game series, which includes two-head body proportions, a low-gravity jumping physics, throwing weapons horizontally and throwing men lying on floor.

If you find more of games which are similar to the "Hot-Blooded" series there is high chance they would resemble LF1.

LF2 uses a slightly more realistic physics model. But the HUD and background design are little different from LF1.

P.S. The 2.5D fighting genre is not limited to "Hot-Blooded" series, a bunch of arcade games like "Knights of Valour" and even some GBA games share this genre.

Go play River City Ransom on any console.

The whole Double Dragon series. I remember playing it on a Gameboy back in the 90s. A bit more story-oriented than LF2 but also features side-scrolling and weapons. I mean, who doesn't like baseball-wielding goons?

Just download an arcade simulator like MAME and Kawaks and find some old-school beat-em-up games. Those are games that LF2 LIKES.
