If you’re interested in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Mega Battle then you should know that you basically need additional players.

- Genre: Action » Beat-‘Em-Up » 3D
All in all, it’s not a bad TMNT game.
There’s a decent amount to unlock here, and while it may be a bit of a button masher, the counter and parry abilities give it a bit of tactical feel.
It’s not exceptional, but for a TMNT fan, this beat ‘em up is still a decent time when played with friends.
#8. OK K.O.! Let’s Play Heroes
- Release Data: Capy Games/Cartoon Network, 2018

If you’re not, look elsewhere, because this is a strictly fans-only game.
#7. Dynasty Warriors 8 Empires
- Release Data: Koei Tecmo Games, 2015
- Genre: Action » Beat-‘Em-Up » 3D
If you love the musou adventures of war, then Dynasty Warriors 8 Empires is a game for you.

#6. Earth’s Dawn
- Release Data: One or Eight/Rising Star Games, 2016
- Genre: Action » Beat-‘Em-Up » 2D
The depth of customization from the skills and weapon crafting will keep the RPG fans happy, while those looking for a slice of arcade-style hack and slash will find exactly that.

The gameplay is the same as it ever was but it’s definitely not a bad thing.
#4. Transformers: Devastation
- Release Data: PlatinumGames/Activision, 2015
- Genre: Action » Beat-‘Em-Up » 3D
Overall, Transformers: Devastation is a welcome surprise.
A fast, satisfying combat system, variety of playable characters, and collection and progression mechanics come together to form a fun experience fans can enjoy.
The game is unfortunately dragged down by disjointed story and scarce environmental variety, but fans will be entertained by the original voice cast and attention to detail from the cartoon.
#3. Attack on Titan
