This site needs to define beat em up more narrowly, of the games above this on the charts only God Hand and i suppose Yakuza 0 are actually what I would consider beat em ups. The fact that this isn't a top 5 beat em up is a crime.
Nah, I don't really have a problem calling God Hand a Beat em up, because it feels like an evolution of the old school beat em ups, and while I probably wouldn't call the Yakuza games beat em ups, I can see why it fits the category for some.
But Nier automata is the #1 Beat em up? Who actually considers that game a beat em up?

I suppose they use it as sort of an umbrella that hack n slash falls under but I agree, it's neither right nor convenient.
Played this on Dreamcast via Sega Smash Pack when I was a kid. The music stuck with me forever, but so did the memories playing multiplayer. Couch co-op with this game is so much fun. Overall this game has aged very gracefully.
