    Streets of Rage 4 is a slice of nostalgia heaven. This belated sequel was released 26 years after the previous installment and it's great. The love that went into this project is very apparent.

This belated sequel was released 26 years after the previous installment and it's great. The love that went into this project is very apparent. It respects the legacy while embracing the standards of today. Graphically, SOR 4 is made up of gorgeous cel-shaded art work. It looks terrific by default, but you can use filters to remove details or "demaster" it with 16-bit graphics. There are 12 levels with comic-book story panels that appear in-between stages. The online play is appreciated and so is the unlockable content. As you progress in the campaign, you'll earn retro skins for Axel, Blaze and Adam. After you finish the game, you can play a Boss mode, Battle (Vs.) and Arcade (no story). I also liked the modifiers that change the food power-up appearances and their sizes. Each of the three difficulty levels can be quite challenging. While there are a few things that keep this from being perfect, some fans might find this to be the best in the series. As a piece of nostalgia, I would rate this with a 9.3 out of 10.… Expand

    I was afraid that it's gonna be a cash grab, but SOR4 is a great game. It's new style looks awesome, the game plays fluidly and the devs pay respect to all three games that came before. It's a pure pleasure and nostalgia trip. And yes, the music is as great as ever!

This applies to gameplay mechanics as well. The many different weapons, throwables and obstacles in each stage as well as the surprisngly impressive enemy variety really kept me engaged.

    The combat is also a lot of fun. I'm not great at these games so I mostly used the same simple combos on easy mode but still had a lot of fun.

    The only two complaints I have really are the lack of voice acting during cutscenes and the lack of an ending. Story isn't the reason you play at all but I think voice acting would have added a lot as the art panels between stages were really nice. I wasn't expecting a powerful ending but it would have been nice to see the heroes stride off together or something. Going straight from the final boss to credits felt a little odd.

    Overall a very fun game especially if you love beatemups.    … Expand

Alongside the playable characters, the variety of enemies is also superbly executed, from the general low-level thugs to the big bosses that provide the big challenges to overcome.

    Alongside having a strong story that complements the style and mechanics of the game, the game certainly gives that breath of fresh air that gamers may be desperately searching for! Without a doubt, this game in my personal opinion could very easily be in the fight for my game of the year!    … Expand

    Story: this game's story is really nothing special in my opinion just skip the cutscenes to get to the game. It's really nothing to write home about (then again I haven't played any other streets of rage) some interesting character moments especially with Estel but nothing they commit to, and to be honest, I prefer that so overall 5/10 don't really care about it enough to review the story thoroughly

    Gameplay: overall extremely fun with a bit of repetition, I started off with axel in the first couple of levels and then moved to blaze because I thought i should try something new and just decided to stick with her for the entire game. this game has a really good way of teaching its mechanics it throws you in these situations where you are forced to learn and you either learn or die and this way by the end of the game you become so much better than in the beginning and that sense of progression is very satisfying in the beginning I died a couple of times to the first boss and by the end that first boss was just a type of enemy that I defeated with ease. and your moves don't upgrade you don't get any power boost you as the player just learn how to get better over the game without you even knowing it, the bosses are sometimes forgettable but certain ones where great like the ninja master was badass and the cop chick was pretty cool the final boss and stage are both incredible. the combos and specials are EXTREMELY satisfying to string together and when you start hitting 15 - 20 hit combos you feel like an absolute badass. this game is extremely hard especially for a newcomer but I wouldn't steer away from this game if you're new the game teaches you how to play at a brisk pace throughout the game. played most of the game in normal with 4 lives and when I increased the life count I kinda felt like a pushover but I realized VERY QUICKLY that this game does not play around and is very difficult in the final boss i survived with a TINY sliver of health with no lives left and screamed at my television with excitement. overall amazing combat with some deep and fantastic mechanics. a good difficulty that slowly ramps up with a good pace and multiple difficult choices to make the game not EASY but difficult for YOUR LEVEL OF SKILL I never felt I took the easy route by going on normal instead of hard it just felt it was meant for my skill. sometimes the combat can get a bit repetitive especially if you play the same character throughout the game such as I did but not anything too bad FANTASTIC (9/10)

    Soundtrack: I'm listening to the soundtrack as I write this and I can say that it absolutely slaps so fantastic a bunch of really funky tunes that are just amazing and fit each stage perfectly Masterpiece of a soundtrack ( 10/10)

    Overall 8/10 from someone new to the series but if you're already a fan I would give it a 9/10 IF I was already a fan of the series and know all the combos and such.    … Expand

I would have given it a 10 and it does deserve a 10 for the PS4 and switch systems but unfortunately I can’t give it a 10 for the Xbox one. As of 5/11/20 the Xbox one version is still missing the first patch update that allows for numerous video settings to be enabled. I’ve contacted dotemu and lizardcube and they did say the patch is coming but I think it’s ridiculous that it’s been almost 2 weeks and us Xbox owners still haven’t received the update. It’s been disappointing but all we can do is wait at this point.. But again this is a great game and I’m really happy it was released. Just please dotemu release the update already.… 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.

    Whether you’re a fan of the originals or not, Streets of Rage 4 is a blast from start to finish. Satisfying combat, incredible music and visuals and tons to unlock mean this should be sticking around on your hard drive for some time yet. A lack of 4 player online is a disappointment, but otherwise what’s here more than makes up for the long wait.
