Man, The Peace Keepers on SNES is one of those beat 'em ups that just feels good to play—like, the punches land with a satisfying crunch, and the characters actually move differently instead of just being palette swaps. You’ve got this weirdly cool roster, too—some dude fights with a yo-yo, another’s basically a pro wrestler, and my personal favorite is the guy who just… throws knives. Classic '90s logic.
The pixel art still holds up, especially the way enemies go flying when you land a super move. And that soundtrack? Pure arcade energy—you’ll catch yourself humming it after a session. It’s got that perfect balance of being easy to pick up but tough to master, especially if you’re going solo. (Though, let’s be real, everything’s better with a buddy crammed next to you on the couch.)
If you’ve got a soft spot for games where you can just wail on endless goons with ridiculous flair, this one’s a hidden gem. Just don’t blame me when you start trying to yo-yo fight in real life.
