Our take on Scott Pilgrim EX
Rather than limiting the action to a straightforward beat-'em-up route, the game connects city areas with quests, hidden spaces, character upgrades, and time-and-space shifts. Its local and online four-player structure also makes cooperative play part of the core format.
What is Scott Pilgrim EX?
Scott Pilgrim EX is an action-adventure brawler set across a Toronto fractured through time and space.
Players can choose from seven fighters, each with a distinct combat style, then battle three rival gangs, enemies, and bosses through interconnected city levels. Combat combines improvised attacks, combos, unusual weapons, environmental interactions, and special moves. Quests, hidden areas, and encounters with returning and new characters add exploration between fights.

The game supports solo play and local or online co-op for up to four players, with drop-in and drop-out multiplayer.
