>>712616389Maximo Army of Zin was very unique for it's time because it's a platformer but it was also an action game with a more versatile melee combo system than DMC2 (but no scoring system).
Action/Platformer Hybrids like that aren't too common especially level based ones.
There's Dark Siders and NInja Gaiden but their platforming isn't nearly as good and it doesn't have the cartoony mascot platformer feel.
