I have seen a lot of beat 'em up games on the "Action" section of the website. I have had a very hard time finding these types of games. With that being said, it would be nice if there was a "Beat 'Em Up" section. That way I can find a quick game to play before going to school or soccer practice. Any comments to this post will be useful so the Armor Games team might see this. Me and maybe some other people out there would want this feature, so please spread this around but give credit to me for starting this idea.

"Beat 'Em Up" is not a genre. The sections are general genres for the most common game types.

I agree,you can't just focus on a couple games you like,and call that a genre.

Well, the truth is that "Beat 'Em Up" IS in fact a genre. It is just not a commonly listed one. Though it would be nice if it were. :U

There probably aren't enough "beat 'em up" games to make an entire section on the site for them, so they just put them in the general places, like action.

I kinda think more specific categories would be nice, I mentioned it once before somewhere else, and I don't really see the harm in it. I as well love TD games, and it took me quite a while to eventually find and play all of them, which I most likely haven't yet. Perhaps even sub-categories, like having a TD and RTS in Strategy. I also don't see much difference in the Action and Arcade categories, they seem very similar to me. Just a thought.

Not really a "fan" of that type of game, but that would be kool

I think that a better term for these fighting and (how you call them) "Beat 'em up" games would probably be a section that is called: "BRAWL"

But personally, I think the section "Action" covers these type of games completely! =)

yes maybe sub sections inside the action genre would be nice. That way it would be easier to find games. It would be to crowded up at the top.

That would be a better way of splitting up the genres a little more, but then again... you would miss several games you see when browsing through a certain section and I think that's just the idea behind it! Have users find other games and try them!

Also... there will be a new way to search for games by means of the tags on them in AGv3.0. So finding specific games will become easier in the future! =)

But a drop down menu MAY be an option, so why not suggest this in the ArmorGames v3.0 Forum then?

In AG3, new catagories or sub-catagories will be added. For all the maet on this topic refer to the AG3 froum.

LOL You got the idea Schmiddy! =)

But I was actually more relating to the new game genre topic and the explanation below:

"Froumpy" is a close relative of "frumpy." It is used as a more delicate way to say, "lacking in style, fit, or really any positive physical appearance."


This would relate to a game where a "Froumpy" person would be the one having the urge to start a brawl/fight and make it through the level, hence the genre section names: "BRAWL" or "FROUM"!

Yes, fun huh?! You learn every hour of every day and every minute of every hour and every second of every minute! You just have to be curious enough and be open to learn stuff! =)

Wait... I'm really starting to sound like a dad now... *facepalms*

Oh wel... back on topic: someone suggested that there are going to be sub-sections implemented for all the sections when AG3 launches, but I somehow at some point started to think that this is something not viable...

You see, this would present a lot of unneccessary clicking, when all you would actually need to do is enter a tag in the search bar and enter... and you get what you need in an instant! =D
