2015? Sheesh. That's so long ago, yet so recent. It's sad that US arcades were long dead by then. It was nice that Japan's arcade scene stayed relevant for far longer. These are some lovely sprites.
Japan's arcade scene is STILL relevant. Not as much as the past, obviously, but not dead yet. Also, the system this game is on was effectively a souped up Neo Geo (with some key differences) also made by IGS. The PolyGame System. It doesn't have a lot of releases, but the majority of them are actually pretty good.
Man, I FEEL you. I was born in 1980, and big arcades were MAGICAL. And in the early nineties, I knew where every SF2 style game/cool beat 'em up was, within a 2 mile range of my house: THIS laundromat had Art of Fighting, THAT gas station had Samurai Showdown and Alien vs Preadtor, etc. THEN there were the cool pizza spots and video rental places with dedicated arcade rooms. Mega arcades do survive in one form, at least: the arcade bars in hip cities where you can play everything for free, if you pay the cover charge. At least that.
4:44 "What am I playing?! Goof Troop all of a sudden?!" got me a nice morning giggling. Great video, as always. This game kind of remind me of NeoGeo's "Sengoku 3", both in visuals and in its special attacks. Keep up the good work!
I never heard of a beat ‘em up series getting _ten games._ That’s absolutely bonkers in the best way. I like you mentioned Capcom’s series too. The first game where you’re battling tens of guys while mounted on a horse and a zoomed-out viewpoint looks rather amazing and like no other beat ‘em up.
Having watched an animated summary of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, I have somewhat of a grasp of it. I can verify that polar bears are 100% not a part of the narrative (but dudes taunting people so hard that their blood vessels erupt and kill them is).
This series is also known as both Sangokushi Senki and Sanguo Zhanji and I remember playing this one, but I like the Atomiswave one more. This game apparently runs on the IGS PolyGameMaster hardware, which also runs this game's sequel and several Cave games. This game was also released on the Switch as part of a PGM compilation as well.
There was an IGS collection just put out on Switch. It has 3 Knights of Valor games, plus a handful of others. A bit pricey (29.99 USD) but when there's a good sale I am picking it up. IGS made a bunch of games based on classic Chinese novels - all very stylized and fun.
I'd wait for an update. If you're one to care about emulation options it's worth noting that there are no filter options and the screen is forced at 16:9 ratio.
Yeah, that series gets crazier with every installment. KOV3 has more RPG elements like quests. And leveling your characters gives them more advanced moves. It's a HUGE game for a beat'em up
KOV3 is just a grindfest though, it goes against everything that makes a good arcade game. You can't do a 1 Credit Clear of it, you have to buy memory cards (each with a limited number of uses) from the arcade operator just to save your character progress each time. Put in another coin, grind the same levels over. Repeat. It's near enough a scam of a game as far as arcades go, and a massive drop down from the original title and earlier sequels (and not even that good artistically, enemies die with a puff of smoke?) I put in a lot of work to get KOV3 emulated in the first place (along with those I was working with to get the task done) as it was by far the toughest of the PGM2 games to get working due to the extra layers of encryption, but it absolutely was not worth it if all you care about is the game. Even before it was emulated, I was often asked about it because people wanted to hack it into a more regular, fun, game instead (although strangely, since it was emulated, I don't think anybody has)
@@mamehaze Well, i totally agree with you. Game is too massive for a simple beat'em up. It looks like a game made for consoles... and exploitation (of modern monetization schemes). But they had ambition in their games. They wanted to do something big... Too bad they make games for chinese market, when there are no consoles and PC (for that time)... Well, except famicom bootlegs of course)))
Great review! I've never heard of this game, but I'm a sucker for side-scrolling beat-em-ups! This one looks incredible! I'll definitely be checking this one out as well as some of the other ones!
@@XANAX-Pilled Thanks, man! I have played Cadillacs and Dinosaurs. I do love that one! I actually have never played Hook, but I'll check that one out! The '90s was a wonderful time for beat-em-ups, but it seems like there are a ton of them from the arcade scene that flew under my radar.
You've done it again! You've found a game that I've never heard of. It never feels that you're padding for time just to bulk out your run time either and everything that you say is relevant and to the point. The reviews are exactly what you want to hear with no BS. Some TH-camrs just love the sound of their own voice but not you Sir.👍
Thank you for another awesome arcade review. I like weapon beat'em ups more than others and this game looks fun as hell. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms tie-in in fun too lol.
When it comes to Chinese inspired games I was partial to Destiny of an Emperor on NES, I know it wasn't a strategy game but a fine Capcom RPG. This game did appear in an arcade in New Jersey though I had no idea who IGS were but I found out this was a huge series years later.
I went from Destiny, to the Romance series, then to various movies, the live action TV series (1995 and 2010) and the novel. Love Romance of the Three Kingdoms!
Dude, HOW could you compare this to Koei games, but not mention the Musou/Warriors games?? They are even the evolution of side scrolling beat-em-ups and would be even more of a comparison to Knights of Valor. Also, a Mr Bungle reference? Niceeee.
Sitting here watching your video in my Faith No More Tee shirt and hear you make a Mr. Bungle reference...you've earned a subscribe from me. Nicely done, sir.
I played this game with my friends at the arcade. We got so good and knew all the meta so we’d be playing for hours using only one coin. There are combos and magic swords. Very fun and fond memories.
It funny how Koei went from making the deepest grand strategy games for 8 and 16-bit consoles to spamming Dynasty Warriors and its countless spin-offs, and the exact turning point was a Soul Calibur clone of all things.
I played the hell out of this for a long time on the PS. There's a free to play version there. I am a HUGE KOEI fan and I loved all the ROT3K games, and still do to this day.
If you know Romance of the 3 kingdoms, its really weird Wang Ping is the drunk guy as he was suppose to be one of Shus most level headed reliable Generals. Pang Tong would have been a better choice as he gets wasted passing time on a boring assignment.
Love this game! Love this channel! Capcom beat ups are the best! However, the strategy games were never my favorite! Love this channel! Definitely an inspiration of mine! 😊
i'd actually recommend watching pandamonium's review of romance of the three kingdoms iv (i think?) on sega saturn. he talks about the snes version briefly but it's a great informative primer on how most of the systems work if you ever want to give it another shot
Actually, there is an IGS collection of the company's games now available on switch and it has 3 Knights of Valour games including this one. It also has a pretty good fighting game called "Martial Masters".
Hey it's me! Ol rickety crossbow wheelbarrel. Don't mind me, I'm just a regular, every day, friendly wheelbarrel except I have a kill contraption mounted to me just in case. Oh, look out, a little bump in the road, watch your shins! I don't want ya to get hurt on my skids!
@@SNESdrunk Awesome, hope you enjoy the show! They sold out way too quick last time they were in NY, but thankfully was able to snag a ticket for their show in September.
In the late '90s, IGS also released an underrated vs fighting game which can rival SF3: Martial Masters. Very beautiful 2D graphics, intuitive system, and characters based on martial arts films (eg Once upon a Time in China, Operation Scorpio). Damn shame it didn't get much exposure.
There's a channel where the creator plays all US Sega Saturn titles, I mean, he plans on covering all the released titles at some point. When he tried Romance of the Three Kingdoms IV, he has the same first impression, which wasn't good, but as he went he ended up loving the game and discovering a new genre he never tried before.
I remember this game, amazing special attacks... And you're telling me there are more games like this? Time to look for it anyway I can, thanks SDrunk ✌🏼
I’m playing Saiyuki: Journey West for the PS1 which is by Koei, and it’s the exact opposite of confusing or clunky, and it’s really beautiful to look at. Recommended if you want to see what else Koei was capable of!
2:45 - Not to be that guy, just trying to be informative... That is most likely Xiahou Dun, one of the top generals of Cao Cao, who is one of the main warlords of the original Romance of the Three Kingdoms story.
Hey Alex, great video as always. You should check out the video MVG recently did on the IGS arcade games. There’s some cool looking games I never heard of that I want to check out “any way I can”.
I LOVE me some Knights of Valour, along with all the other creative beat 'em ups...you know, playing them "any way I can." I do have a question, though: does the dialouge matter, here? I just found the cabinets for KoV1 AND 2, under my bed, and realized why I'd never finished them: the dialogue is in Kanji, and I'd feared I was missing something.
Third option for this series of stories is Dynasty Warriors back on the PlayStation family. Has beat em up action, with plenty of tactics and strategy. It's It's... LU BU!
One important thing to note is that the combat system borrows heavily from the Capcom D&D beat 'em ups. They are also very popular in China, hundreds of people playing in p2p platforms every day, which is a lot for old arcade beat em ups. If you liked the first game you will love the second one.
I hope one day we'll get a resurgence of arcade games on consoles. Sure, we got some downgraded ports on the 16-bit consoles, but I want full powered arcade ports.
A couple years ago, I went through and played as many arcade beat em ups I could get working. This one and Oriental Legend both stuck out as being WAY too long. Most are like 40 minutes tops. Both these two were like an hour and a half.
International Games System are a cool game studio. They released Martial Masters and Spectral vs Generation, which are two very good looking and polished fighting games (capcom quality), with the latter being Guilty Gear inspired.
And SVG features characters from the Spectral Force and Generation of Chaos strategy games by Idea Factory, which some of them got localized on the PSP.
As wargames go, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms games are a real mixed bag. Mainly because Koei-Tecmo was contracting mainland developers so there wasn't a lot of consistency.
Isn't Warriors of Fate AND the NES title Destiny of an Emperor (both Capcom games) based on the same licensed anime property? Or did they use the same artists for both games and they are BOTH based on Romance of the Three Kingdoms?
wonder if DRUNK ever played any of the SANGO FIGHTERS games on the good old IBM-PC, they were the best 1 on 1 fighters back when games like SF2 and MK1 were not out yet and our pcs didn't have 4mb of ram to run those games.

One of the rare occasions that a series of games comes out of Taiwan and it's _not_ an infamous collection of bootlegs! You love to see it.
Holy shiz Trevor Dunn reference. I'd give two thumbs up if I could for your discerning musical taste.
A Woman's Work is Trevor Dunn
Dun is very likely meant to be Xiaohou Dun, one of Cao Cao’s generals.
Small potato is a mistranslation of “small fry” for a person of little significance. Could be “henchman” or “underling” as well.
Dun is Xiahou Dun, whose backstory is pretty badass! Ate his own eyeball!
Loved the Koei strategy games as a kid. My older brother explained it all to me, and that started in me a love of the genere. Thanks, Tim!
