![]() ![]() It isn’t one of the best fighting games on PS4 in terms of esports potential. The series hasn’t been as successful as the Switch fighting game in the genre, Smash Bros. This is their version of Smash Bros, and brings in characters from PlayStation franchises like Sack Boy and Kratos, then pits them against each other in an all-out Battle Royale. Our bottom selection is more of a retro pick, but it needs to be mentioned as Sony’s own attempt at PlayStation fighting games. These are the best PS4 fighting games, in reverse order. There are 2D, 3D, and even platform fighters available. If you’re looking at fighting games on the console, there’s something in every genre. From Street Fighter to more niche indies, fighting games for PS4 are one of the most popular esports formats. With Sony purchasing EVO, a lot of fighting game tournaments are going to be played on their platform. Some of the top PS4 fighting games are the biggest games in the entire genre, and they play great on PlayStation. It’s even the console of choice for a lot of major fighting games esports events, so the best PS4 fighting games might be the definitive version of a lot of these titles. We hope Rogue Legacy 2 ends up on some of your favourites lists as well when it launches on PlayStation June 20.The PS4’s big games often focus on story, but the console has loads of the best fighting games on here too. If you cherish creativity, then there are few genres that offer more variety than this one, and we’re excited to see how Rogue Legacy 2 pushes the boundaries even further. We like to think the original Rogue Legacy played a tiny role in paving this path, one that even its sequel is now traversing. There are so many great roguelikes/lites out there that I could go on forever. I won’t spoil anything, but because of that, there’s no story told quite like Hades. Hades somehow took the seemingly monotonous nature of repeated playthroughs and used it to its advantage. Since progress in these games isn’t always guaranteed, neither is progress in the narrative, which oftentimes makes it feel disjointed and repetitive. One of the major drawbacks to the “play it over and over” game loop of roguelikes/lites is how the story gets told. What We Liked: There’s so much to love about this game that it’s hard to choose only a few things, but what really stuck out to me was the narrative design. Crypt of the Necrodancer understood this and implemented very creative ways to make it as enjoyable as possible. Making a game feel good requires recognizing and accommodating player intent. Sometimes you might press the jump button a frame too late, and to compensate you need an input grace period when falling off a ledge, ubiquitously known as coyote time. But what is ‘correct’ might not always be ‘fun’, because in reality nobody can play a game perfectly. If I press jump, I expect my character to jump. It’s really easy to tell a game what you want it to do. That level of player consideration isn’t seen in enough games these days. If you slowly drift off-beat, the game will subtly change the tempo of the music in order to get you back on track. But one of the coolest things it does is completely invisible to the player. It’s fun, it’s crazy unique, and it’s incredibly catchy. What We Liked: This is just an all-around fantastic rhythm-based roguelite. What it is: A dungeon-crawling roguelite where you move to the beat. And to celebrate, Cellar Door Games is taking a look at some of our favourite roguelikes/lites (that aren’t Rogue Legacy) on PlayStation, and I’m giving some personal insight on what made them so great. With the upcoming aunch of Rogue Legacy 2 we’re excited to see if history will repeat itself. To say we were overwhelmed is an understatement. We were expecting a few hundred thousand players at best, but somehow ended up with more that 3.5 million across all PlayStation platforms. The community’s support for our little indie dream was nothing short of impossible. The original Rogue Legacy was released nearly a decade ago, and it’s incredible to think back on how it helped popularize roguelites on PlayStation. The game also includes the latest free content updates, the Fabled Heroes and the Swan Song, which are packed with additional challenges and exciting new game modes. ![]() What’s more, it will be launching straight into the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog, so Extra and Premium members can download it straightaway and jump in! We’re going all-out by releasing RL2 with full cross-buy support for the PS4 to PS5. Rogue Legacy 2 is landing on both the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 on June 20.
