Dark Judgement

A very basic beat'em up that does nothing unique or special. It's a homage to nothing. The controller support is terrible, the game only uses the analog stick is used for movement and can't be changed.

Graphics is fine, combat is quite ok but there is no something that could touch your heart. This game is for beat'em up lovers only.

I enjoyed it. The only main issue was that I couldnt reconfigure the buttons. The assign controls menu does not function. I really wanted to use the DPad, and switch the jump and attack buttons around, because here by default the button A, normally assigned to jump in most other beat ´em up games, is for punching/kicking, just awkward. I dont recommend this game for newbies of the genre, but for players like myself, who grew up playing streets of rage etc. on the sega megadrive, and have played most other beat ´em up games to date, it is something worth checking out. I think it is a decent game, nice soundtrack too. Shame though about the button issue. I hope that this is fixed some day.

It won't work on steam deck

Dark Judgement is an interesting game. Apparently, it's a true retro game, being developed and released in 1997 in Korea. Right off the bat, I will say that this game is fun, and if you like beat 'em ups you'll definitely enjoy this. However, I will add the following caveats: - There are way too many items in this game. There are items literally everywhere, and you will be constantly picking up stuff you didn't mean to. Additionally, some weapons are borderline useless, like the grenades. - The enemy balance is a bit off. Enemies will swarm you, and when you get knocked down, immediately shoot you upon wake up, rendering you pretty helpless. You have no i-frames in this game (unless you get the invincibility power up). You can sometimes get out of it, though. - There are some parts in the game where it seems like there's unavoidable damage. Sometimes at the beginning of the stage an enemy will shoot you the second the level begins. That sucks. - The vertical movement speed is a bit too slow. It isn't horrible, but if you play a lot of beat 'em ups, you'll notice it. Overall though, Dark Judgement is a pretty fun game. The hit detection, special moves, and sound effects are…

I bought this game to remember my childhood, I really like it with its retro style. The game reminds me of a taken with its combat system, for which I fell in love with it. Also in the game is very cool music and graphics on top.
