One of the best side scrolling beat'em up games of all time. It is a crime that Capcom just abandoned the game and never released it with other beat'em ups on the Switch or other consoles.
I would save my allowance as an 11 year old and sneak onto local bars in my small village in Portugal, to play this game, I love it and it is a great game to play with friends. Of course, I never beat the game at the arcade machine because it would quickly ramp up the difficulty and drain all the quarters.
Many years later, I was able to play it again through Mame, and it has been part of my games library ever since, I play it a few times a year. Still think it is as great as Sengoku 3 and Streets of Rage 2.
Today a friend wanted to start some random side scrolling beat'em up cuz it was available for free on different platform than GOG. Took maybe 2minutes after starting it to realize the game had only local co-op.
At that moment I mentioned something I played as a kid in arcades (Cadillacs and Dinosaurs and Sunset Riders), and as soon as I mentioned it memories came to mind.
I bothered my parents for money to go play few times at the arcade every day. In most cases alongside me played my brother , few times whoever was there that joined.
In todays world of hyper real graphics and other weirder stuff I feel more interested and I enjoy those games and graphics of early days.
Thats why GOG is my primary platform to look for a game I would like to have fun with - and if it has (ONLINE) co-op then its even better. So please GOG bring this one back (with Online co-op function).

Drakengard 3Drakengard 3 transports players to a medieval world where six goddess-like sisters known as "Intoners" have brought peace to the earth with their power to manipulate magic through song. Harmony is disrupted, however, when the eldest sister, Zero, attempts to murder her younger sisters with the help of her dragon companion, Mikhail. As the story progresses, players find themselves in a battle to unravel the mystery of Zero and learn her true intentions.
A prequel to the original Drakengard, Drakengard 3 features the series’ signature brand of action, pitting players against hordes of fiends and foes in remorseless hack-and-slash ground combat, and then sending them soaring for pitched aerial battles on the back of the dragon Mikhail.Action Fantasy
DrakengardDrakengard follows the story of a kingdomless prince named Caim who fights for the Union against the Empire. Under the Union's protection are the Hierarchs and the Goddess, currently Caim's sister Furiae, who is a human manifestation of one of the four seals that protect the world from being broken. As the game begins, Cain is fatally wounded in a battle with the Empire. Encountering a captured Red Dragon who is also near death, Caim makes a fateful choice. In exchange for both their lives, the Red Dragon and Caim will enter a pact. This pact will forever chain their lives to one another and link their souls, at the cost of something irreplaceable. Recharged with the fires of a Dragon, Caim's vengeance burns over the enemy...
The player controls Caim on his quest. The game is separated into three distinct modes: Aerial combat, Ground combat and Event Combat. In Aerial Combat, Caim rides dragonback against a variety of airborne foes breathing fireballs (strong single shots and weaker multiple lock-on shots). The Dragon is agile and is able to evade incoming threats, turning around completely in a moment. In Ground combat, the game is shown in 3rd person though usually large, open areas. Controlling Caim, his primary ability is the use of a variety of weapons found on the battlefield. These are leveled up through continued usage, and specifically through the killing of individual enemies. Though magic (determined by weapon choice), timed attacks and evasion, Caim breaks through enemy armies. Characters recruited as allies by Caim can also be summoned during battles, steadily losing health until control is returned to Caim. In ground combat, Caim may also call forth his Dragon to ride and strafe enemies from the air. The Dragon's movements are generally the same as in aerial combat but more limited and less agile. Event combat is similar to Ground combat, but shown isometrically, restricted to a single weapon and without the aid of a dragon. It is used mainly to tell story sequences.
Levels that have been visited before might become "Expedition Missions" which are optional and contain new objectives, enemies and weapons. Additionally, any level previously played in the storyline may be revisited at any time. Depending on Caim's choices (and prerequisites for those choices), there are five different endings to Drakengard.Action Fantasy Horror
