Play OverviewPlay Overview

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game (2010) is an arcade-style fighting game. In the game, you take control of one of seven playable characters from the comic book series and travel through Toronto, Canada facing the seven evil exes of Ramona Flowers.

The game plays in a "beat em' up" style, which means that you fight hordes of enemies using whatever resources at your disposal. Even mundane items like pylons can be used to help you defeat your enemies. While the game starts simple with actions such as punch, kick, block, and jump you slowly will gain experience which will unlock new moves with each level, this provides a gradual learning curve that eases you into an exciting combat system.

You can increase stats such as strength and defence by purchasing items at local businesses. This encourages players to search out these establishments and return to them when they have more currency.

The game was originally a tie-in with the movie release of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, it is assumed that the player knows the story from either the movie or the comic series by Bryan Lee O'Malley. The game provides minimal cutscenes that show slight deviations from the core story depending on which character you play.

In addition to the story mode, the game also provides a variety of ways to play:
  • Boss Rush (Defeat all of the bosses in the game as fast as possible)
  • Survival Horror (Survive as long as possible against a horde of zombies)
  • Battle Royal (Challenge each other to a battle where the last one standing wins)
  • Dodgeball (Challenge each other to a game of Dodgeball)

The PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game were removed in 2014.
