Scott Pilgrim EX (v1.0.0.15231 & ALL DLC)

Futuristic Toronto becomes a neon-lit brawling playground as rival Vegan, Robot, and Demon crews tear the city apart. Scott Pilgrim EX turns the series’ comic-book weirdness into an action-adventure built around missing bandmates, warped districts, and a conspiracy that stretches across fractured versions of the city. The mood is loud, colorful, and knowingly ridiculous, with crunchy pixel art and high-energy rock driving every alley fight and boss encounter. Rather than retread Scott’s earlier battles, it frames familiar faces inside a new story created with Bryan Lee O’Malley’s involvement.

Players choose from Scott, Ramona, and five additional fighters, each bringing a distinct approach to close-quarters combat. Encounters revolve around chaining attacks into combos, grabbing improvised weapons, managing crowds, and spending special moves at the right moment to reverse a messy fight. Interconnected areas reward detours with secrets, side activities, and quests, while badge-based upgrades let you shape characters around stronger stats, useful perks, or a preferred fighting style. The full campaign supports solo play as well as four-player local or online co-op, with drop-in and drop-out functionality that makes it easy to bring friends into the chaos.

Its strongest draw is the mix of classic arcade beat-’em-up energy with a more exploratory city structure and build customization. The 8-bit-inspired visuals preserve the personality of the graphic novels without feeling like a simple retro throwback, and the hyper-melodic soundtrack gives even routine street fights a sense of momentum. Fans of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game, River City Girls, or modern co-op brawlers should find plenty to like in its combination of humor, style, and flexible combat. Newcomers can enjoy the accessible button-mashing surface, while experienced genre players have character builds, hidden routes, and cooperative coordination to dig into.
