Other times youвЂ™ll have enemies jumping from one lane and end hitting you, even if youвЂ™re nowhere close to them. There are way too many instances of this happening, especially later on in the game. I donвЂ™t know about you, but I want to feel as if IвЂ™m powerful when playing games like this, and when an enemy can randomly armor up, nullifying my attacks, it isnвЂ™t fun. Certain enemies get a massive armor boost, including specific boss characters, become immune to hit stun, which turns fights into a nuisance. ItвЂ™s not all sunshine either, as I found several things too cheap for the gameplay. Combo those with your forward/forward and special moves, and you have a recipe for dishing out lots of damage while looking flashy doing so. ItвЂ™s simple to get a 10 вЂ“ 15 hit combo, while 20+ or more will require a bit more skill, while 50+ hit combos will have you planning out your attack before you even make it. WeвЂ™re talking about smacking up people, bouncing them off the walls, or the ground, into other enemies, back in the air, and so forth. At the same time, getting hit results in you losing it completely.Д¬ombos are new to the game, and weвЂ™re not talking about those weak jabs infinite combo, which also happens to be still present. Spamming the move will result in a large green bar of health, but if you manage to keep hitting enemies without them hitting you, youвЂ™ll gain that health back. Instead, it goes green, and now you can beat up some bad guys to regain that lost life. While performing those moves still drains your life meter, the life used up isnвЂ™t completely gone. Special moves also return, with a new risk/reward system. Fans of the previous games will remember the forward/forward moves that do extra damage or the вЂњget the heck off meвЂќ backward attacks. YouвЂ™ll still punch and kick your way to victory, but you also have a few extra moves in reserve. Some things have changed in Streets of Rage 4, which I will talk about somewhat, while others havenвЂ™t. This ainвЂ™t your parentвЂ™s Streets of Rage. It also goes without saying that if you use a faster character, theyвЂ™ll likely be weaker, while the slower characters are stronger, the classic gaming trope. However, switching to a faster character eliminates that. Which also, at times, can feel like the game is clunky. If it werenвЂ™t for the interest, we likely wouldnвЂ™t have seen this follow-up.Дepending on which character you select, the gameplay will vary as each character has a different movement speed. If it werenвЂ™t for that game, Streets of Rage fans would have been lost. I also want to acknowledge Streets of Rage Remake. Thankfully, my fears were unwarranted, and thanks to Dotemu, Guard Crush Games, and LizardCube, the follow-up is just as good as the previous games. Yet when I heard that it was finally happening, I gasped when I also heard that a different studio would handle it. Sure, I was one of the thousands who begged SEGA to bring Streets of Rage back.

More importantly, the music was something that stuck with you long after you stopped playing. The combat was fun, and the characters were unique in that they all brought different playstyles.

Though, when it came to the Streets of Rage series, it always managed to hit home with me. Final Fight, Double Dragons, X-Men, Bad Dudes, and the list goes on.

I grew up on the SEGA Genesis and Arcade machines, playing some of the best 2D brawlers ever to grace this planet.

Platform(s): PC (reviewed), PS4, Xbox One, SwitchДeveloper(s): Dotemu, Guard Crush Games, LizardCube Instead, it took the assistance of Dotemu, Guard Crush Games, and LizardCube not only to bring the dynamic brawler back but with a few new tricks as well. It only took 20ish years later for SEGA to revisit that IP, but not their own doing. For the longest time, fans of SEGAвЂ™s Streets of Rage series, or Bare Knuckle as itвЂ™s called in Japan, had been asking for a follow-up to one of the best beat вЂ™em up titles ever created.
