The later FEAR sequels should have focused on different paranormal stories, with different squads and sections of the F.E.A.R team, and not just be focused on the Alma/Paxton/Point Man family drama. FEAR1 or Extraction Point should have been either of the perfect end points. Though it makes EP a much more downer ending, if you pick its ending as the definitive end of the story-line.
Absolutely no mercy invulnerability. If you get caught between two enemies, that's it for you.
Better yet, no extra lives, and if there are continues, it's only from the beginning of each stage. No mid-stage checkpoints or revival on the spot; if you run out of health, it's back to the start of the stage with you.
That's literally Double Dragon 1 and Battletoads on NES.
Battletoads does have extra lives, but the mid-level checkpoints are pretty stingy (including one level that literally doesn't have any), and with how quickly you can run out of lives you'll be seeing the start of the level a lot anyway I guess.
Yes!
Hence why I included Battletoads.
We really need more Dynamite Cop or Spikeout style brawlers again. The closest we ever got to that is still Anarchy Reigns.
