Streets of Rage was my intro as a kid into the world of side-scrollers and beat ’em ups, and this series holds a special place in my heart. One random day down nostalgia lane, I checked Steam on a whim to see if the OG's were there and to my surprise...I discovered Streets of Rage 4. I had no idea it even existed until this year. Honestly... it may be the perfect Streets of Rage game created. You can feel the love in every punch, kick, and combo string. The devs clearly grew up with the OG's too, because they brought back this series with a level of style that somehow manages to hit harder. Bringing back the SOR1–3 characters as playable was the cherry on top...Skate has always been my guy, and being able to hear/see him do the Skating Fist Fury move was awesome. The DLC slaps as well, adding some really fun modes that can keep you entertained for long time. I also like how the Survival mode brought enemies/levels from the original's as well...continuing that nostalgic kick. I couldn’t be happier with Streets of Rage 4. Massive thanks to the Dotemu/Guard Crush/Lizardcube for doing one of my all-time favorite games the justice it deserves.

Streets of Rage 2 is my favorite game of all time, so this has some big shoes to fill in my book. Honestly, it's a delight to play. The playable characters are all excellent, even the new ones. Gameplay feels perfect and faithful to SoR2. I will say some of the stage design is less inspired than in SoR2 (especially later on, the final stages are not as epic as those in the original trilogy), and although I love the updated look, the music doesn't go as hard as the SEGA Mega Drive did (hard to compete with Yuzo Koshiro and the YM2612 chip). But these are small things and this is a huge success. The crunch from your punches and kicks is so satisfying, they nailed it. Beat it with my 5 year old daughter, she loved it!

Streets of Rage 4 is a triumphant revival of one of Sega’s most beloved beat-’em-up franchises, successfully blending nostalgic charm with modern design sensibilities. Developed by Lizardcube, Guard Crush Games, and Dotemu, the game respects its 16-bit roots while boldly pushing the series forward. Released nearly 26 years after Streets of Rage 3, this installment feels like a continuation of a lost era that refuses to age, offering a well-balanced mix of classic side-scrolling action, slick animation, and tight, rewarding gameplay that caters to both long-time fans and newcomers alike. At its core, the game remains true to the genre’s traditions: you walk from left to right, pummeling waves of enemies using a combination of punches, throws, and special moves. What Streets of Rage 4 does so well is evolve that simplicity into something deeper without compromising its arcade roots. The combat system is fluid, responsive, and filled with satisfying impact. Each of the playable characters — both new and returning — has a distinct feel, from Axel’s heavy-hitting brawler style to Blaze’s elegant versatility. Cherry brings in speed and agility, while Floyd offers devastating power with slower movement. The addition of character-specific combos, juggle mechanics, and a risk-reward special move system that can be replenished by follow-up hits introduces a surprising level of tactical depth. Visually, the game is a stunner. The hand-drawn art style is a bold departure from the pixel art of the original trilogy, but it pays off beautifully. Environments are richly detailed and vibrant, with stages that evoke everything from neon-drenched city streets to industrial zones and underground fight clubs. The character animations are smooth and full of personality, and even minor enemies have unique designs and behaviors. There’s a sense of rhythm to the way combat and visuals blend together — a dance of violence that’s both stylish and brutal. Fans of the original games will also appreciate the option to unlock retro character sprites and soundtracks, which serve as both a loving tribute and a clever bit of fan service. The soundtrack deserves special praise, as music has always been a defining feature of the Streets of Rage experience. Series composer Yuzo Koshiro returns, joined by a lineup of guest artists like Motohiro Kawashima, Yoko Shimomura, and Olivier Derivière. The result is an eclectic, pulsing mix of electronic, synthwave, and funky house beats that fuel the action with a relentless energy. The music doesn’t just play in the background — it drives the experience forward, making every punch, kick, and screen-clearing combo feel more powerful. It's a modern take that retains the rhythmic soul of its predecessors while bringing the audio into the 21st century. In terms of content, Streets of Rage 4 offers a robust package. The story mode spans 12 levels, each with its own aesthetic and enemy variety, telling a simple yet effective narrative involving the children of the original villains attempting to reclaim their family’s criminal empire. While the plot won’t win awards for complexity, it provides enough context and momentum to keep the player engaged. What really gives the game longevity, however, are the additional modes: Arcade Mode for purists who want to beat the game in one sitting with limited lives, Boss Rush Mode for challenge-seekers, and a solid multiplayer system that allows for both local and online co-op play. Playing with friends amplifies the fun dramatically and creates opportunities for creative team combos and strategic play. The game also rewards replayability through its grading system, character unlocks, and difficulty scaling. Higher difficulties introduce tougher enemy patterns and AI behaviors, encouraging mastery of mechanics rather than simple button-mashing. As players progress, they unlock classic characters from previous entries, complete with their original move sets and sound effects, which adds a layer of nostalgia-fueled fun and gameplay variety. These retro characters don’t feel tacked on — they’re integrated into the experience thoughtfully, with balancing tweaks that ensure they fit into the game’s faster, tighter modern pacing. If there’s one area where Streets of Rage 4 might fall short for some, it’s in its relatively conservative approach to innovation. While it modernizes the series in terms of visuals and mechanics, it doesn’t fundamentally reinvent the genre. That said, this is clearly a design choice rather than a flaw — the game aims to refine rather than redefine, and it does so with skill and reverence. Some might also find the online matchmaking a bit limited or inconsistent, depending on connection quality, and a more robust lobby or matchmaking system would have improved the experience for those without local co-op partners. Overall, Streets of Rage 4 is not just a return to form — it’s a benchmark for how to revive a dormant franchise with integrity and style. It captures the raw energy and tight gameplay of the originals, then enhances them with refined mechanics, gorgeous visuals, and a killer soundtrack. Whether you’re a veteran of the 16-bit era or someone discovering the series for the first time, this is a game that punches far above its nostalgic weight, standing tall as one of the best beat-’em-ups of the modern era. Rating: 9/10

Best thing to happen to side-scrolling beat em ups in all their history. There is a resurgence of this genre today, in 2025, though mostly due to TMNT Shredder's Revenge success, which tried to create THIS game BUT make it 1 button... TMNT one is simple, SOR4 is COMPLEX. This one is a real deal VIDEO GAME from the 90`s but with modern game design decisions. It has everything you need for a great beat em up - music, style, symbiotic system mechanics and a lot of gameplay depth. What you see is what you get, and I hope to SEE more games with the same mentality in the future.

The bar has been set, and it has been set very high! Combat that feels so good!, whole bunch of sick characters, sublime gameplay loop, tons of content, incredible artstyle, awesome tunes and a whole lot of rage on the streets! It just hits all the right notes! Sure the story isn't anything to write home about and the online can be iffy at times but those are very minor complaints in an otherwise excellent beat'em up. I played this first back on 2021 on my PS4 to 100% completion and replayed it this year on my steam account to 100% completion as well. If I had an Xbox, I'd get it there and 100% it too lol. Whether you're a fan of Streets of Rage or beat'em ups, this is the one you should not miss! Hats off to the madlads at Guard Crush, Lizardcube and Dotemu for making this happen. Thunderously recommended!
