Streets of Rage 4
About
Streets of Rage, known as Bare Knuckle (ベア・ナックル Bea Nakkuru) in Japan, is a trilogy of beat 'em up games developed and published by SEGA in the 1990s.
Famously known for its non stop action and electronic dance influenced music - scored by Yuzo Koshiro and Motohiro Kawashima - the series has gained the status of cult classic throughout the years. It is considered one of the best beat 'em up series of all time. After many years, Axel and Blaze are finally picking up the fight where they left.
Featuring hand-drawn visuals from the team behind 2017’s gorgeous Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap remake, Streets of Rage 4 builds upon the classic trilogy’s gameplay with new mechanics, a fresh story and a gauntlet of dangerous stages with a serious crime problem. Streets of Rage 4 recalls classic gameplay but it stands as an entirely original arcade-style romp thanks to the expertise of Guard Crush Games and Dotemu.
Whether players gang up with a friend or clean up the city solo, Streets of Rage 4 is a skull-bashing, chicken-chomping delight all set to a thumping soundtrack sure to get your blood pumping.

Streets of Rage 4 reviews and comments
Beat the first 4 stages and I’m not liking it much so far. I don’t like the feel of combat. I find it difficult to tell what row people are in.
I don’t like this game. There really isn’t anything I can think of that I like about it. I beat 11/12 stages and tried to beat the final stage for an hour or so before realizing I’m not having fun and I have little desire to keep playing. I’m done. This is an example of a gamepass swing and a miss for me.
Final Score: B-
No amount of beautiful pixel graphics can excuse such basic mechanic flaw.
