Bottom 768 — Week 9 — Poll 21

Post by This Old Neon »

Welcome to the #BGE2020 Elimination Round Lower Bracket!

Each game in the lower bracket is still seeded based on its performance in the two opening rounds of pools! Every game in the lower bracket has already been defeated by another game in a 1-on-1 poll to get to this point. This is their chance to claw their way back into the main event... but the stakes are high. The games that lose in these polls are out of the tournament for good! The games that survive will face the next crop of upper bracket losers in the next round.

Polls are updated weekly, typically on Saturday... or Sunday or Monday. Check back throughout the week to make sure you don't miss a vote!

HOW TO VOTE

This is easy. You only get one vote per poll. The game with the most votes wins. In the event of a tie, the higher seed advances, so don't get complacent!

Damn, once again here we are in the depths of the lower brackets where two of my favourite games have faced off.

A fun beat'em-up with RPG elements that predates Guardian Heroes and Tower of Doom, and has great bops. It also blows its very own developer's other beat'em-up (Double Dragon) out of the water.

But then we have the beautiful Studio Ghibli RPG, which borrows so much from Dragon Quest, and features a story about using fantasy and imagination to cope with loss and trauma, and also has great bops.

Damn.
