Suerte que lo compré, para mi ahora mismo es el mejor beat'em up que hay. Cuando me dió fuerte me hizo dejar de jugar a los clásicos más retro, y de hecho después de este juego los siguientes que han salido del mismo género me han parecido bastante más flojos, como el de las tortugas ninja o el Final Vendetta.

    While I still prefer Streets of Rage 2, this long-awaited fourth entry in the brilliant beat-'em-up series is a great return and a challenging romp for veterans and new fans alike. The music is good, but never quite lives up to the first two SEGA Genesis game soundtracks; similarly, the hand-drawn visual style never really gelled with me.

    This game would be 10 if it weren’t for a major flaw. The enemy AI. Literally every enemy type is programmed like the lamest of lame online players.

The enemies do nothing but run away and finally attack when you’re in end lag. It’s    This game would be 10 if it weren’t for a major flaw. The enemy AI.

    The enemies do nothing but run away and finally attack when you’re in end lag. It’s lame cheap programming. Top all that off with enemies spamming projectiles, or moves with armor. There’s no fun to be had just try hard bs. Also your character’s movement speed is the slowest in any video game ever. May as well be added to the Guinness Book of World Records for slowest character movement in a game.

    Best beat em up of all time. I don't say that without thought or experience.... I've played a ton. Unlike many beat em ups, this has a ton of reasons to come back and play through again. If anyone is on the fence about buying it, I guarantee you won't regret it.

    The only thing I dislike about this game is that modern concept of limitless continues. Old games were more challenging.

    A really polished and stylistically incredible beat 'em up game.
    I really love the diversity in the characters and the surprising depth to the game's mechanics. There's room to just mess around with friends in the forgiving story mode, or go incredibly in depth and really challenge yourself with other modes. The levels are well thought out, with great combinations of enemy waves in    A really polished and stylistically incredible beat 'em up game.

There's room to just mess around with friends in the forgiving story mode, or go incredibly in depth and really challenge yourself with other modes. The levels are well thought out, with great combinations of enemy waves in creative settings, and most if not all level gimmicks are really enjoyable, even on repeat playthroughs. I've played through the game numerous times, and no matter how much time passes I always find myself coming back. I wouldn't be surprised if I came back again in a month or so to finish playing through with all the characters, that is if I don't end up doing it tomorrow. I think fans of the beat 'em up genre have been starved for content of such a high quality, and I'd recommend it wholeheartedly to action game fans.    … Expand

    Just a perfect game. It's an entertaining and challenging game, but even good for beginners. Graphics are very good and it runs well on the Switch. If you like the prequels or Gekido series, this should be an instabuy. Dotemu did a great job!

    The game is of great length and is definitely better the more players you are.
    I played one save as a single player and struuuuuuggled. But I also played with a friend and it was so much easier. So I would imagine that 4 players would just breeze through the game...    … Expand

    This is a stunning game. I have been playing this title for hours and hours and it never feels bored. If you want a classic feel there is arcade mode which makes it feel just like the old games. For a brawler there is really nothing more I would want

    The only reason this game didn't get a 10 from me (even though it's my most played game since it was released) is that the story mode is a bit short. The game has 12 arcade-style levels, and once you beat the game, you are supposed to replay it with the other characters, and with harder difficulty settings. It's still really fun but is best enjoyed in short bursts, or else the playthroughs sort of lose their pinache'. Anyway its a really fun game and I think it's a must own for the Switch.    … Expand

    An amazing return to form for the classic series. Not only a sequel faithful to the tone and feel of the original, but a fantastic game on its own strengths, one I would recommend just as strongly if it were a new IP. Also has one of THE most infectious soundtracks in recent memory.

    Extremely well done beat 'em up. Fluid controls, good combo system, great soundtrack and art style. Quite a lot of replayability, as you can try playing on higher difficulties or just try to get a better rank and the gameplay loop is just super fun.

    For me it's the best brawler there is on the Switch.

    Streets of Rage 4 is a worthy continuation of the beloved series that has preserved the atmosphere and drive of its predecessors. The developers managed not only to play on the nostalgia of fans, but also to make a modern game that cannot be accused of being too archaic. The project is undoubtedly a must-buy for fans of the genre and all those who appreciate easy-to-learn, but addictive games.

    A very good, strong revival of a franchise that's gone for far too long without a new entry. [Issue #47 – July/August 2020, p. 22]
