Jitsu Squad

Good beat 'em up. The combat is better with friends or opens up when you unlock the tag system. I also bought this on the Switch 2. It plays the same, but I can tell they didn't take advantage of the power. Looks a little rough on the Switch but not too bad.

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

The gameplay is fun, the character designs are hilarious, and the combos are fun to play. The game system is not too difficult or too easy. This is another interesting family game that is worth the price....🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Best graphic and control

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!

Beat em' all recomendadísimo. Es verdad que tiene algunos puntos débiles pero los puntos fuertes pesan más. Solo tienes 1 espacio de guardado y no puedes cambiar de personaje en ningún momento, si inicias tu partida con 1 personaje , con ese mismo lo debes terminar. Es algo que me incomodó al comienzo pero dada la corta duracion del juego es comprensible. Lo compré en oferta por menos de 1 dolar y lo terminé en unas 3 horas jugando con mi hermano. Las gráficas, la jugabilidad, las animaciones, todo me pareció muy bien hecho, tiene variedad de personajes, todos bien detallados, visualmente es muy agradable. Puedes hacer combos, puedes hacer parry, es muy bueno en verdad. No puedes ponerte exigente por un juego de menos de 1 dolar, sin embargo con lo bonito del juego y con lo mucho que me divertí siento que debí pagar el precio completo (menos de 5 dolares). Tengan en cuenta que es un juego ARCADE, en las máquinas arcade tampoco tenías un menú lleno de opciones ni espacios de guardado así que tenlo en cuenta y lo vas a disfrutar mucho. Es cooperativo local para hasta 4 jugadores todos en la misma pantalla, prepárense para el caos y las risas. Recomendado.

Decently fun but feels it missing something and some ideas are very strange, overall I enjoy the game

BOM JOGO DE BEAT EM UP, COM HUMOR, GRÁFICOS DE DESENHO BEM FEITOS, JOGO CURTO NORMAL PARA O GÊNERO, E ACHO QUE VALE APENA PRA QUEM CURTE O GÊNERO , MAS DEPOIS QUE SAIU UMA PROMO DE 3 REAIS ONDE EU PAGUEI, CINSERAMENTE NÃO VALE PAGAR PELO VALOR CHEIO, AGUARDE UMA PROMOÇÃO! Bom como sempre a minha análise de fato vem depois, beleza dessa vez pretendo não digitar muito, sim bora! GRÁFICOS: 10 Sim o gráfico dou nota 10, pois foi rico em detalhes em desenho, que por sinal muito bem feito, top! SOM: 8 Beat em up nunca tem e creio que não terá um sinfonia no jogo como tem em softn, mas as musiquinhas não são enjoativas e 8 ta de boa. JOGABILIDADE: 8 A jogabilidade é fácil, mas acho que o jogo no aspecto combo é meio exagerado, lembro de ter dado 150 combos, é um salcero dos infernos, acho que se jogar com 2 pessoas, vc não deve nem escutar a música do jogo, só som de porr@da, parece uma metralhadora de socos e espadadas, nesse lado digo que a jogabilidade exagerou mas faz parte do gênero beat up e eu até gosto desse gênero , joguei final fight 1 e cadilac nos fliperamas, mas nunca fui um amante, apenas gosto do gênero , mas pra quem curte fight rage e might final fight vai curtir assim como curti. Dei algumas risadas no jogo, pretendo zerar com outros personagens em breve e pegar por 3 reais, foi um presente da dona Steam. Hã... sobre a dificuldade comparado a outros até que não é tão difícil depois que vc adquiri os golpes especiais, aí irmão vira depois dos especiais, é Holiwood e Radukem um caos total de muita zoeira e porr@da. DIVERSÃO: 8 O jogo é divertido, mas curto, normal eu sei... mas acho que poderia colocar mais humor no jogo, mas dá pra passar o tempo de boa e jogar de 2 fica mais divertido e mais fácil. ENTÃO É ISSO, ESPERA UMA PROMOÇÃO E MANDA VER!

Jitsu Squad is a vibrant love letter to the golden age of arcade brawlers, an exuberant mix of chaotic combat, colorful character design, and infectious energy that captures the spirit of the 1990s while embracing the conveniences of modern gaming. Developed and published by Tanuki Creative Studio, the game throws players into a world of anthropomorphic heroes fighting against an evil sorcerer named Origami, who seeks to harness the power of the legendary Kusanagi Stone. What begins as a simple setup for a beat-’em-up adventure quickly evolves into an over-the-top spectacle filled with wild combos, frenzied action, and dazzling visuals. Every level bursts with personality, embracing the unapologetically cartoonish tone that defines Jitsu Squad’s identity. It is a game that thrives on excess—on-screen explosions of color, layers of enemies, and constant movement that channel the best of arcade nostalgia with a modern polish. The combat is the heart and soul of Jitsu Squad, and it’s designed to keep adrenaline levels high. Players can choose from four main heroes—Hero the raccoon ninja, Baby the agile bunny, Jazz the mystical frog monk, and Aros the powerhouse warthog—each bringing a unique fighting style that encourages experimentation. The controls are fluid and responsive, allowing for smooth chaining of attacks, juggling enemies midair, and unleashing devastating special moves. The game’s combo system rewards aggression and creativity, letting players rack up enormous combo counts through well-timed dashes, swaps, and aerial assaults. Tag-team mechanics add a layer of variety, allowing two characters to switch mid-battle for tactical advantage or to extend combos seamlessly. The result is a battle system that feels intuitive yet satisfying, capturing the arcade essence of instant fun while offering enough mechanical depth to sustain engagement through multiple playthroughs. Visually, Jitsu Squad stands out as one of the most striking indie beat-’em-ups in recent years. The hand-drawn art style is bold and richly detailed, with environments that range from mystical forests and neon-lit cities to ancient temples and high-tech arenas. Every background feels alive, packed with subtle animations and visual humor that enhance the game’s personality. The characters themselves are brimming with charm, their animations exaggerated and expressive in a way that evokes the spirit of classic Saturday morning cartoons. This art direction, paired with a dynamic soundtrack driven by energetic guitar riffs and pulsating rhythms, immerses players in a world that is equal parts nostalgic and electrifying. The music perfectly complements the action on-screen, giving each fight an epic and playful tone that makes the chaos feel celebratory rather than overwhelming. The cooperative element further elevates the experience. Jitsu Squad truly shines when played with friends, as the on-screen mayhem transforms into a festival of teamwork, laughter, and friendly competition. Up to four players can join forces locally, and the balance of character abilities makes coordination both strategic and rewarding. Power-ups, assist characters, and transformation sequences keep the flow unpredictable and entertaining, ensuring that no two sessions ever feel exactly alike. While the solo experience is still enjoyable, the game’s design clearly favors the camaraderie and shared energy of co-op play, which channels the essence of the old-school arcade cabinets that inspired it. Despite its charm and polish, Jitsu Squad does show some rough edges. The campaign, while packed with fun, is relatively short, often taking just a few hours to complete. For a genre rooted in repetition and replay value, this brevity limits the long-term engagement, though the joy of replaying with different characters and difficulty levels helps to offset that. Some players may also encounter performance dips or occasional bugs, particularly in console versions, though these issues are minor and have seen patches and fixes over time. The challenge level is well-balanced overall, offering accessible fun for newcomers but still providing enough resistance for veterans seeking to master its combo system and enemy patterns. However, those expecting an ultra-deep combat system with layers of complexity akin to fighting games might find the mechanics more straightforward than expected. Ultimately, Jitsu Squad succeeds in its mission to revive the classic beat-’em-up spirit with flair and enthusiasm. It doesn’t pretend to be revolutionary; instead, it focuses on being relentlessly entertaining, a pure distillation of fun that pays homage to its influences while carving its own identity through art and energy. Every punch, kick, and combo feels crafted with love for the genre, and every frame radiates the developers’ passion for old-school design. For fans of games like Streets of Rage, Battletoads, or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge, Jitsu Squad fits comfortably alongside them as a worthy modern entry. It’s a short but wildly enjoyable ride—one that celebrates the joy of smashing through waves of enemies with friends, flashing neon chaos, and an unshakable grin from start to finish. Rating: 8/10
