Streets of Rage 4

A fantastic beat ’em up and a great tribute to the classic series! I absolutely loved Street of Rage 4. The music, graphics, atmosphere and classic beat ’em up gameplay all come together perfectly. It really captures that old-school arcade feeling while still feeling fresh and modern. The achievements are also very well balanced. They are proportional to the game and add an extra dimension without feeling forced or frustrating. I’ve unlocked them all, and they fit very naturally into the gameplay. Besides the main stages, there’s also the Survival Mode, which is a great addition. The upgrade system gives you different possibilities and makes the gameplay feel completely different from the regular stages. It adds a lot of replayability and keeps the game interesting even after completing the main campaign. The atmosphere is excellent throughout, and honestly, I can think of very little that isn’t done well in this game. It’s pure arcade chaos in the best possible way! It’s also a fantastic game to play in co-op, where the action becomes even more fun and chaotic. All achievements work well, and I’m happy to have them all unlocked. If I had one wish, it would be to see Streets of Rage 2 and Streets of Rage 3 come to Steam as well. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys classic arcade beat ’em ups!

A true modern arcade classic that continues to give back the more of you put in. It would be easy to play for an hour or two and then move on, but there is a surprising amount of depth and mastery to explore in just 12 stages of uncompromising action.

Can not recommend this game enough, they really did it right. Keeps the old school feel but brings it into the new age super well. If you like side scrollers and beat em' ups, there is zero chance you will not love this game.
