Lawler-RPG: Great Combatter

Lawler-RPG: Great Combatter is a side-scrolling beat 'em up game developed by CyberConnect2 and published by Casear Corporation, making it as the first game to which The John Studios has no involvement to the development besides contributing some ideas and feedback. It was released in 2020 for Playstation 4, Nintendo Switch and Steam.
==Plot==
Taking place 2 years after the original Lawler-RPG, Venis is already king of Rolungola City with Helen as his queen and barred two children. One day, the grand Egg of Wonders, a mystical egg that balances the equilibrium of the land was suddenly stolen by a mysterious thief, causing the city to almost crumble into pieces. Venis rejoins with his old friends, Chiara and Marton, as well as new faces like Arwan, Carmilla and Yuko Kurimisu to find the responsible and get the egg back. Meanwhile, a new villanous group called Neo Vegus's Army has arosed, founded by a former advisor named Bakkru to continue his former master's plan and eliminate anyone who stood his way.

==Gameplay==
Compared to its RPG cousin, Great Combatter is a typical side-scrolling beat 'em up where up to four players or two of them online beat a wave of enemies with physicals attacks or item pickups like an axe before progressing to the next area. The game takes inspiration from Final Fight 3's mechanics, such as dashing and Super Moves (called Great Strike in this game), dealing mega damage to either one or all enemies. All the characters can learn some Special Attacks after beating a stage with their own command inputs.

==Trivia==
*If the Konami input is used during the title screen, all the punching, kicking and slashing sound effects will be replaced with cartoony, Hanna Barbera-style sfx. Additionaly, if the player does a reverse input, Chiara and Arwan will be naked and thiccfied, though it doesn't affect their gameplay. Their naked forms can be turn on in Chiara's private "love love" room.
