Of the games I've played outside of Streets of Rage 4, this is the best. Competent design that games like Mother Russia Bleeds lack, no "visual spaghetti" like Fight'N Rage. Excellent visual design, great score. Never feels like it's cheating you while still being challenging .Where it lacks compared to Streets of Rage 4 for me is enemy variety (less meaningful) and a lack of special moves for each character with specific inputs, which I would have liked. The depth comes from the free-flow combo system to mix it up, but I still would have preferred specific-input special moves. I actually bought this a while back and am just playing it now—definitely picking up the sequel.
If you miss the golden era of arcade brawlers but want something that looks and feels like it belongs in the modern day, The TakeOver is a total no-brainer. For me, the absolute highlight of this game is the spectacular soundtrack. It is an absolute masterpiece. The graphics are equally beautiful. Instead of going for the overused, low-res pixel art route, the developers crafted gorgeous, highly detailed 3D models with crisp animations and vibrant, stylized backgrounds. It gives the classic side-scrolling action a completely fresh and premium look. The combat is fluid, the combo system is satisfying (especially characters like Jackson and Megan with their range and speed), and the mechanical response is top-tier. The only real downside is that the game is very short. You can blast through the main story mode in just a hour or less. That being said, at its price point—especially when picked up on a sale—it offers incredible value. Highly recommended!
If you're looking for a modern beat 'em up that respects (and even imitates) the classics like Streets of Rage and Final Fight, The Takeover is worthy. Gorgeous 3d graphics with reflections and lens flares (too much lens flares). Big characters that are almost half the screen. The bar looks particularly detailed and great. For controls, not as refined as Streets of Rage 4, the top modern beat 'em up, but still very good. Being able to shoot relatively often with a gun you never lose is nice; it's not just fisticuffs. The music is fitting and motivating. You're not forced to take health right away, it won't vanish. You can also go back left. Two little improvements that I appreciate a lot. Coop in Remote play together works fine. I enjoyed the two arcade mini-games: driving and shooting on the highway and flying in the sky with the jet. I also liked the special level where you can just shoot (no punching or kicking), but I wish there had been more than one type of enemy with more animations. No leaderboards even though a bare-minimum and only local high score list is there. Not getting extra lives for scores was missed and made picking up those vanishing collectibles even more useless. Be aware that the difficulty is reset to normal when you restart the game. A playthrough will last you around 2 hours and a half.
