The genre is riddled with pitfalls, including repetitive gameplay, tedium and dull button-bashing controls. For every gem like Streets of Rage 2 there has been an abundance of mediocre games, such as Rival Turf!, Ninja Combat and Riot Zone. Few companies mastered the art of this troublesome genre in the 1990s — SEGA springs to mind, as well as Konami — but Capcom in particular became a prolific 2D brawler connoisseur, through dogged determination and impressive talent. Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara represents a video game developer at the top of its game and it has sliced its way into being amongst the very best hack-and-slash titles available today.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.pushsquare.com\u002Freviews\u002Fpsn\u002Fdungeons_and_dragons_chronicles_of_mystara_hd","2013-06-27","9",90,{"id":68,"author":69,"outlet":72,"summary":77,"review_url":78,"review_date":64,"original_score":79,"normalized_score":80},74242,{"id":70,"name":71},5627,"Ryan McCaffrey",{"id":73,"logo":74,"name":75,"website_url":76,"score_format":46},69,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FIGN-logo.jpg","IGN","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.ign.com\u002F","Chronicles of Mystara’s long-awaited English-language home debut has been handled with great care, bringing us an experience that’s virtually identical to the arcades and successfully tugging at nostalgic heartstrings.
