One of these things is not like the other, and this time, it’s The Punisher. Not a fighting game at all, this side-scrolling beat-em-up features Frank “The Punisher” Castle and Nick Fury as they fight criminals of every kind across the streets of the city, trying to take down the Kingpin.

Similar to games like Streets of Rage and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Punisher has punch buttons, jumping attacks, and healing items and weapons picked up from the ground. He can use everything from his fists to bats, guns, and grenades to take down basic enemies and hardier bosses. The pause menu also allows you to skip to whichever stage you want, which is a nice quality-of-life feature.

Coolest Character

Nick Fury. (Come on, you had to see that one coming.)
