Play Guardian Online
You play as a tanky robot that never stops moving, smashing through alien hordes with punches that get crazier—flaming fists, shockwaves—while the scenery keeps shifting under your feet. Co-op turns it into a hilarious scramble for who gets to wreck stuff next.
Guardian is one of those arcade beat 'em ups that just feels satisfying to play. You're this clunky but surprisingly agile robot, automatically plowing forward through weird alien landscapes while punching anything that moves. At first, you've just got basic punches and jumps, but after smashing through a few levels, you start unlocking wild upgrades—like flaming fists or this ridiculous super punch that sends enemies flying.
The levels switch up fast—one minute you're digging through frozen ruins, the next you're brawling in a desert full of glitchy-looking robots. And yeah, the alternating co-op mode is chaotic in the best way (though good luck convincing your friend to hand over the controls when it's their turn). Boss fights are these screen-filling monstrosities that actually make you think instead of just button-mashing. It's short, but sometimes you just want to wreck stuff for an hour without overcomplicating things.
