Our take on Shing!
The description puts strong emphasis on a combat system that “never gets old,” but its concrete details center on combos, character switching, enemy abilities, and boss fights. That points to a combat-focused beat ’em up rather than evidence of broad variation beyond those systems.
What is Shing!?
Shing!
is a beat ’em up about a group of wisecracking warriors fighting mythical monsters and machines. Play solo or with up to 4 players in local or online co-op. Combat uses the right stick to control weapons and access attacks, or an alternative scheme that uses the stick for aiming and buttons for attacks. The combat system lets players combine moves into combos, switch characters during fights, and use enemy abilities against their opponents. The adventure also includes enemies with varied tactics and boss encounters. The focus is on close-range fighting and experimenting with attacks, either alone or alongside other players.
How Shing! plays
- 01Two control schemes
- One uses the right stick for weapon attacks, while the alternative pairs stick aiming with button-press attacks.
- 02Character switching
- Players can change fighters during combat and combine attacks into different combos.
- 03Local and online co-op
- Co-op supports up to 4 players.
