Games belonging to such franchises as Final Fight, Double Dragon or Streets of Rage, as well as those alike, symbolize an important period in the history of gaming. Such games were also a source of inspiration for the creators of 99Vidas, an independent studio QUByte Interactive. The game is a conventional beat'em up and it came out for many systems.

Plot

The titular 99Vidas is an incredibly powerful artifact, which was stolen by the Evil Boss. In the hands of a wrongdoer, the item can bring chaos into this world – it is not surprising then, that the main characters that have been trained their entire lives to be the guardians of the artifact, had to embark on a dangerous journey. The goal they are facing is to defeat the adversary along with the six allies of his. Obviously, they must also retrieve the artifact before it is too late.

Nindie Spotlight: 6.5 / 10 by Nindie Spotlight

While 99Vidas puts some effort into the proceedings it’s also trapped in being a bit too ordinary among multiple titles that manage to be more ambitious and deliver more of a value-added experience. With some friends it would make a great game for everyone to enjoy for a playthrough or two but in particular as a solo experience it’s impossible to ignore that it doesn’t do much to break away from the same games it has so much reverence for. Throwbacks can be fun but 99Vidas just seems to be an amalgam of elements from well-known games that fails to put the pieces together to make something more. It’s not a bad romp, but its staying power is questionable.

Cubed3: 5 / 10 by Gabriel Jones

What it all comes down to is that 99Vidas simply isn't as fun as it could be. A good beat 'em up is more than just hitting bad guys until they fall over. There has to be enough nuance and depth for skilful players to develop their own style, while using very little, if any, resources, such as health restoring food or lives. There also have to be enough leniencies to make the game appealing to someone who just wants a "mindless" yet still entertaining button masher. This game deserves top marks for its aesthetics and charm, but its mechanics and overall design leave something to be desired. If the difficulty was better balanced and the heroes had more viable attack options, this would be a title deserving of a spot in any brawler fan's library.

Video Chums: 6.6 / 10 by A.J. Maciejewski

99Vidas is a fairly solid throwback to classic beat 'em ups.
