The all-time classic Streets of Rage, known as Bare Knuckle (ベア・ナックル Bea Nakkuru) in Japan, is a trilogy of beat ‘em up known for this timeless gameplay and electronic dance influenced music. Streets of Rage 4 builds upon the classic trilogy’s gameplay with new mechanics, beautiful hand drawn visuals and a God tier soundtrack.
An iconic series like Streets of Rage got its iconic characters: Axel, Blaze, Adam and other veterans reunited to clean up the streets. With some brand-new moves and kickass tracks to take a listen, our heroes are ready to dish out beatdowns to a fledgling group of ill-advised criminals in full force.
Streets of Rage 4 will be the first entry to the core series in 25 years, standing as Axel, Adam and Blaze’s glorious return to serving up side-scrolling beatdowns. With lush hand-drawn animations, new combat abilities, and fresh tracks from an amazing team of composers, Streets of Rage 4 will be a masterful tribute to and revitalization of the classic action fans adore
The series is known for its electronic dance influenced music around the world. The soundtrack of Streets of Rage 4 is handled by an all-star line-up of musicians like Yuzō Koshiro, Motohiro Kawashima, Yoko Shimomura, Hideki Naganuma, Keiji Yamagishi and many more whom will create new amazing tracks for this new episode of the Streets of Rage series.
● The comeback of the legendary Streets of Rage series.
● Beautiful graphics fully hand-drawn animated by the studio behind Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap.
● Gang up with a pal or clean up the city solo.
● Classic gameplay enhanced with brand-new mechanics.
● Soundtrack by a wide all-star line up of world-class musicians.
● Braised chicken everywhere.
- This game felt so good to play, that after finishing it I wanted to go out and beat up people on the streets.
- Colorful/cartoony artstyle, ripped right out of the pages of a comic book. Reminded me of the artstyle Bastion, Transistor and Hades went for.
- Energetic soundtrack, in tune with the original trilogy.
- My only gripe with SOR4 is that I wish there was more of it. For more content like this make sure to check out the unofficial "Streets of Rage Remake", which is a compilation of the entire trilogy, plus a few new levels, made by dedicated fans. And it's FREE to download!
- Now if only Final Fight could get this amount of care and attention...
Great as SoR2 and so much better than SoR3 (the weaker one, in my opinion). For me, an old player from Mega Drive times, SoR4 was a fantastic and fun gameplay. Just buy and play.
It might not be the most modern beat'em up, but as a sequel to a long dormant franchise, it does a terrific job delivering the classical Streets of Rage experience. It might not take as many steps forward as it should have during that time, but when you're just looking to see ANY continuation of the series, SoR4 meets expectations and surpasses them while still remaining very faithful to the franchise. That in itself is very impressive. For fans. For non-fans, it might feel a little antiquated.
The game does have a few bugs and missing features, and there are some obvious omissions from the roster, but there is a good chance all of this will be added in time. The fighters you can unlock is already an impressive list and includes the entire cast from the previous games, including one boss (not sure why people are saying these characters aren't unlockable). The only real flaw is with the GoG version due to the lack of online.
The gameplay is spoilt by lazy enemy design. I wasted too many hours on SOR2 to not immediately notice how the feel of this game is just off. The controls are way too sluggish and the enemies are too fond of cheap attacks. SHame but not worth full price.
