    Gekido is an awesome game that's it! but where it heads out on its own is with its adventure-style level designs.
    Instead of just walking to the right until there's no more right to be walked,
    you can go left, right, up, and down, flipping switches, collecting items, and doing a fair amount of backtracking.

    It's definitely refreshing to see Gekido take some chances with the formula of a genre bound by tradition,
    but it now also has an arcade mode similar to its predecessors like Final Fight or Street of Rage , where you just turn off your mind, go ahead and beat them all !
    Co-op mode works really fine everytime
    I loved the new Relic-hunter rougue like mode, simply perfect if you also have a friend to play with.
    I suggest to use crt scanline mode imho. So what are you wating for ? fan or newbies of the serie, go and get it now    … Expand

    How to start ? The combat in Gekido: Kintaro’s Revenge feels fantastic, juggling is easy and satisfying to do, you have a range of special move combos to learn and even a special “keep away” attack to help with crowd control.
    It is responsive, vibrant and really hearkens back to the greats of a genre I love it.

    Relic Hunter sees you exploring randomly generated dungeons in search of Relics, like every other mode this is fully playable in Co-Op and adds so much to the games length.
    It’s worth tackling after you have done the story as it’ll throw late game enemies at you from the get go, overall it’s a tough but fantastic game mode and one I will continue to work through time and time again.
    If you love the genre, Gekido: Kintaro’s Revenge is one of the titles you have to get, the combat is great and the soundtrack is superb.    … Expand

    In its context, Gekido was a decent game for the GBA, but as a port on PS4 its flaws are glaring and deterring. The first level alone sees you wandering back and forth from point A to point C, then back to point B before finally getting the key to point D, and this formula persists for most of the game.

    The combat leaves a lot to be desired, which is worrying for a beat-em up game.    In its context, Gekido was a decent game for the GBA, but as a port on PS4 its flaws are glaring and deterring.

    The combat leaves a lot to be desired, which is worrying for a beat-em up game. Enemies are very homogenous colour palette swaps with varying degrees of health and the occasional additional attack. However the most unforgivable element of the combat are the cheap enemies. Most enemies will attack you with such speed that it's near impossible to avoid, and Tetsuo is so slow that dodging is also near-impossible.

    The atmosphere and graphics are impressive for their time, but again on a PS4 they are clearly from another age.

    Overall, this really is a game to avoid unless you are somehow a big fan of it on GBA.    … Expand

    Absolute **** Horrific gameplay, invisible gaps in the floor. Limited move set. Badly animated. Repetitive music cues. And a tenner too!! Streets of rage 4 is currently £10 on sale - do yourself a favour and get that masterpiece instead!
