Man, if you're a fan of beat em up's and haven't played this yet...
Beat YOURSELF up.
This is one of the dopest games ever made in the genre.
Super fluid action, stellar colors, hand animated, catharsis!
It's like a snickers bar for your gaming itch!
Tons of nods to the genre, and easter eggs throughout.
Hopefully it gets a dlc or something eventually! I need more!
10/10 it got my steam account pregnant.

Chaotic button mashing fun featuring blink and you miss cameo/easter eggs.
Clearly made by fans of classic arcade side scrollers.

Jitsu Squad is an awesome and fast-paced beat 'em up game that’s best enjoyed with friends. While it can theoretically be played with up to four players, it truly shines in split-screen mode — especially when one player uses a keyboard and the other a controller. The local co-op setup works great and brings back that old-school arcade feeling.
There are four unique characters, each with their own skills, fighting styles, and special patterns. This variety keeps the gameplay interesting and allows players to find a character that fits their style. Some characters feel a bit overpowered compared to others, but that actually adds to the chaotic fun of it all.
The story isn’t too long, but it’s entertaining enough, with each stage designed like a different planet. It adds a quirky, creative touch that fits the game’s overall vibe. It took me around 13 hours to get all the achievements, which makes it a solid choice if you’re looking for a co-op game to enjoy over a few sessions.
For those planning to play on keyboard, the best layout I can recommend is using the arrow keys for movement and Numpad keys (0, Enter, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) for actions. It feels surprisingly comfortable and responsive once you get used to it.
If you’re into fun, flashy action and love playing with friends, Jitsu Squad is definitely worth checking out!

I get bored with beat'em up games like in 30 minutes but I can't stop playing this game.
Hitting enemies with combo is so satisfying and feels good to parry enemy attacks.
Fun to create your own combos.
Must play!

Very good game! Fun combat! You have a good amount of tools to use to deal with enemies. A game I definitely want to hone in on but can also play to have fun with friends. A beat em up staple for sure!
