    Best beat'em up I've played in a long while, specially after the disappointments that were Mother Russia Bleeds and Double Dragon IV. Amazing combat system and pace, beautiful designs, kick-ass soundtrack, and lots of unlockables, different endings and extra modes that add a lot of replayability value to the game. A must buy if you love old school beat'em ups like the Streets of RageBest beat'em up I've played in a long while, specially after the disappointments that were Mother Russia Bleeds and Double Dragon IV.

    Best old school, pure pixel art beat'em up in decades. Captures perfectly the soul of the classics and includes a big amount of content.

    Repetitive garbage. The game is very boring and way too repetitive, same combos, same combat and no variety at all, no save option and **** music, cheap graphics and character design, play Streets of rage remake instead. Not to mention that nobody plays this game.

    I really wanted to like this game, growing up in the 70s and 80s I got to experience every arcade game from Double Dragon, Final Fight and many many others and Fight 'N Rage does a really good job for the retro experience, even down to an authentic CRT screen effect, but don't let the looks, and the positive reviews fool you - this game has a few hidden, and unpleasant surprises..

    I really wanted to like this game, growing up in the 70s and 80s I got to experience every arcade game from Double Dragon, Final Fight and many many others and Fight 'N Rage does a really good job for the retro experience, even down to an authentic CRT screen effect, but don't let the looks, and the positive reviews fool you - this game has a few hidden, and unpleasant surprises..

    I've played almost every single side scrolling beat-em-up style games from the 80s and 90s, whilst this game is quite authentic in its representation, the gameplay is just dreadful and suffers from the worst issues the same games had in the 90s with far too many enemies on screen but unforgivably are the bosses which are just cheap and each time you get defeated you have to essentially restart the stage again, so you essentially just brute forcing your way through the game, the game is really designed for multi-player and playing single player is significantly harder.

    Bosses move faster than you, and have a greater range so becomes more annoying to fight, and sequences like biker gang is just moronic, being hit once can get you chain locked without you being able to easily escape and/or getting caught in a bike explosion which pretty much insta-kills you.

    For the playthrough, I picked Gal because she is supposedly fast, agile and in games like this...that is a huge advantage, well I found her speed to be less than fast and about as agile as a dead hamster, all bosses move faster than her regular walking speed and if you are fighting multiple bosses at once...single player? Forget it, you're in for a frustrating time as you get chained and smacked around like a doll.

    I had issues with my xbox pad, I couldn't charge with thumb sticks at all and had to use the D-pad for charging attacks, not sure what was going on with that and that didn't help much when surrounded by enemies.

    My suggestion for the future is to be careful with balancing 2D beat-em-ups for single player first and foremost, the vast majority of players will always be playing solo and that means if you need to account for that, some levels and bosses feel straight up they was designed for multiplayer and that is a problem, this isn't about getting gud, this is about balance for a genre that has always been about instant gratification and quick/easy gameplay.

    A good beat'em up game. Repetitive over time but a fun game to play. If you are looking for a nice beat'em up game, I would recommend it.

    The fantastic art doesn't make up for the monotony in Fight'N Rage. It's just a dull game, but it's a fresh beat'em up for anyone out there looking for one.

    Hard to not say it again: the best Beat'em Up at Steam right now (better than Mother Russia Bleeds), with amazing movements, moves and graphics. The soundtrack is a piece of art and capture the feeling of the game so amazingly. Side-by-side with Streets of Rage, one of the top of all times!

    Fight’N Rage is an excellent beat'em up with multiple endings and simple yet hard to master combo system. However, like Streets of Rage and Double Dragon before it, the difficultly is a bit steep with the boss fights, but the difficulty can be adjusted. The graphics are top-notch with great sound and character designs. If you love old-school beat'em ups, this is the game for you.

    The best beat'em up I've played in years.
    Very engaging fighting system, fantastic OST and many branching paths and endings.
    It is absolutely on par with the best offerings the big industry has given us.
    A solid 10/10 and a must play for any true hardcore beat'em up fan.

    One of the best modern beat'em ups out there.
    Great OST, combos with a juggling system, fast paced, running, tons of different endings, you can choose a path to go, different game modes. You can beat so hard the enemies that they explode!

    Fight N Rage dispatches another radical blast from the past. If you ever played Final Fight or Streets of Rage you will just love what feels like a new entry on the awesome line of brawlers from Capcom.

    Fight’N Rage easily deserves a spot alongside Streets of Rage, Double Dragon, and Final Fight, offering extremely satisfying action, sharp foes, deep movesets, solid music, and delightful punches.
