ROBO OH

I don't think you can find elegance of design in fighting games quite like in ROBO OH. This game manages to have everything a good fighting game should (varied roster, varied and well-considered universal metered options, a combo game that properly scales in damage and length by starter and resource use, and plenty of ways to create mixups) while limiting itself to two buttons, all while having a novel and very authentic NES/Famicom aesthetic. The Story & Training modes have everything you would want from them as well. The input buffer can be a little awkward at times (at least for how I input things on D-pad), and the lack of native online play is a bummer, but for the price this is the kind of game anybody who plays fighting games locally or enjoys labbing combos and setups should own.
