Pros
Pro With a bit of tweaking, it's also possible to create a platformer
It's possible for a non-programmer who is comfortable with text-based designing to tweak the engine in order to create a platformer. Almost all the parameters needed can be found in the OpenBOR wiki, so it's easy to find anything a new developer needs.
Pro Great genre-specific engine
OpenBOR can quickly help create a good Beat-Em-Up game without programming.
Pro Great, supportive community
OpenBOR community is highly active and very helpful.
Cons
Con Text-based parametric editing
Heavy reliance on text-editing. No visual editor to edit characters and levels (although there are a few community-built ones that do the job).
