Looking for recommended OpenBOR Beat ‘Em Up games to play? Well, you are on the right place. On this part 3 of the article, I have summarized OpenBOR games – they are not just a game, but good, great and even amazing ones! – I could find and tested them on my own (so you don’t have to waste your time going through all the bad/basic ones).

Just in case you ended up on this page but not knowing what is OpenBOR, it’s basically an open source game engine, mainly for Beat ‘Em Up games, thus the name “OpenBOR” – short for “Open Beats Of Rage” where Beats Of Rage is the first game to use this open source game engine, a 2D side-scroller beat ’em up game inspired by Street Of Rage.

Bring it all together

Well, that’s it – part 3 of the Recommended FREE OpenBOR games you should definetely try. I hope you enjoy the game list I provided above. I have Controller Recommendation below, because playing beat ’em up games are not nice if using keyboard or touchscreen. Best is to play them using a real controller, so do check out the recommendation below. In case you encountered any difficulties and/or have queries, don’t hesitate to put your queries or thoughts on the comment section down below. I’ll be happy to assist.

Controller Recommendation

Playing Beat ‘Em Up games is always better with controller!

While you can always use the keyboard / touchscreen to play the games, but for greater fun and enjoyment, I would recommend you to play the games with the Controller using physical buttons – so the experience is (almost) the same as the original. Just in case you need recommendation, here they are. I am personally using Nimbus and DualShock 4 to play the games.
