    I am an absolute fan of Oldschool Final Fight/ Streets of Rage games. So seeing this on the eshop made me curious. The few, but very good reviews for the PC version convinced me and so I bought it. The game is an absolute dream for me.

So seeing this on the eshop made me curious. The few, but very good reviews for the PC version convinced me and so I bought it. The game is an absolute dream for me.
    The controls are simple as they usually are in these games. But the developers put some thought into the gameplay, so with just three buttons and a stick you have almost perfect control over your character. There is so much depth, especially after unlocking the training mode you realize how much there is to the gameplay.
    Graphics and sound are very nice, it uses 2D sprites but has some very advanced 3D-distortions and parallax scrolling effects. Sound imitates the old sound chip sounds but has some very good tunes.
    The amount of unlockable stuff is absolutely insane. Costumes, modes, characters, etc. Since all three characters play differently and there are different paths there is also a lot of replayability.
    So this sound all very very good, so why only 8/10. I realize I am a massive fan of the genre, so for me this is easily a 9 or a 10. But I think I should be objective enough to see, that even with all the unlocks, the total amount of content is limited, and given the game is a several year old title for 19,99€ in the eshop, this is hard to recommend for everyone. Also for some the gameplay might still be a bit too shallow. So 8/10 seemed right for everyone.    … Expand

    I hadn't had so much fun with a beat'm up since the times of Streets of Rage 2 & 3. This game is a must

    Damn what a hidden gem. Found this game on sale on PS4 and was attracted by the art and the character design. To my surprise it was one of the best Vita muscle played in years. A big fan of the genre I like double dragon neon and the new Streets Of Rage and this game has a little bit more complexity to those games.

    I was extremely turned off by its initial presentation, but I'm glad I gave it a try! The game is extremely fun and challenging and the best brawler I've played to date!

    Und schon wieder gibt es Dresche! Es werden an viele Klassiker breit Erinnerungen wach, insbesondere "Turtels in Time", mein Liebling.

    This is certainly one of the best Streets of Rage style games I have played on a modern console and I am a big fan of the genre. It is lots of fun to play, great sound and graphics etc etc. Just a word of warning though: this game is HARD on normal mode in single player mode. If you don't have a friend to play this with you might really struggle (like me) to unlock any of the goodies whichThis is certainly one of the best Streets of Rage style games I have played on a modern console and I am a big fan of the genre.

If you don't have a friend to play this with you might really struggle (like me) to unlock any of the goodies which require you to beat the game on 'normal' difficulty. And 'easy' mode is not available straight away and needs to be unlocked. Otherwise, this is an excellent game.… Expand

    This game is criminally underrated. After diving into TMNT: Shredders Revenge and Streets of Rage 4, I was anxious to get into another beat em up, but Fight'n Rage just didn't initially appeal to me.

After diving into TMNT: Shredders Revenge and Streets of Rage 4, I was anxious to get into another beat em up, but Fight'n Rage just didn't initially appeal to me. I thought the male fan service was unnecessary (which I still find to be extremely true) and the overall presentation was lacking. Well, I took a chance and realized that it looks way better in action, and holy moly does it have the quality where it counts. For those who enjoy beat em ups, it's all about how it "feels." This game feels incredible to play. The depth is perfect for a game like this.... not as intense as a fighting game, but way more to do than just walk up to an enemy and hit attack as fast as possible. It's one of those games that when you put it down, you just want to pick it back up and keep punching those baddies until they explode into a pile of bones.… Expand

    Its paths and its excellent controls make this game an interesting and very replayable beat 'em up, especially if you share the screen with up to two more friends.

    Fight'N Rage has a name that suggests an old school beat'em-up and that's exactly what it is, a tribute to some of the classic names of this dimension of gaming that was so popular in decades past. But that's not the only thing that Fight'N Rage gets right - its gameplay mechanics amount of content, different endings and top notch audiovisual environment all contribute to make this one classic-style beat'em-up that is worthy to enter the Nintendo Switch of any fan of the style.
