(#6) Released in July, Mr. X Nightmare is an expansion for the 2020 beat-em-up Streets of Rage 4. The DLC adds new playable characters (including returning favorites Max Thunder and Shiva) as well as new weapons and foes, a new "survival" game mode, and the ability to customize your character.
“Anyone who’s been looking for a better reason to go back to Streets of Rage 4 than just crawling up the leaderboards should jump on this DLC release, and the Survival mode’s 2-player online capability provides a great excuse to bring a friend along for the ride.” —Screen Rant
