    The all-time classic Streets of Rage, known as Bare Knuckle    Amongst the best beat’em up series ever created, jammin’ ‘90s beats and over the top street beating, the iconic series Streets of Rage comes back with a masterful tribute to and revitalization of the classic action fans adore.

    An impeccable execution of all the elements that make up a good beat em ’up with space to evolve the genre significantly.

    Streets of Rage 4 on Switch is still the perfect sequel, and perhaps dedicated servers is just too big of an ask for a game like this one, so really, the Switch is the ideal way to play the game. Fantastic.

    Streets of Rage 4 is the very best the series has ever been. Its hand-drawn graphics breathe new life into Wood Oak City and its inhabitants, the soundtrack is outstanding and the combat feels better than ever. Lizardcube, Guard Crush Games and Dotemu have managed to completely modernise the look and feel of Streets of Rage, expanding on the experience without losing sight of what made the original games so popular to begin with – and the handful of additions made to the action here serve only to enhance the classic core gameplay, resulting in one of the best side-scrolling beat 'em ups we've played in a long time.

    Streets of Rage 4 is unmistakably a sequel to this classic franchise; the developers understood what made the originals so great, and expanded upon them in ways that make sense. The most lovably crafted and well-designed brawler in ages.

    A very good, strong revival of a franchise that's gone for far too long without a new entry. [Issue #47 – July/August 2020, p. 22]

    Streets of Rage 4 is a worthy continuation of the beloved series that has preserved the atmosphere and drive of its predecessors. The developers managed not only to play on the nostalgia of fans, but also to make a modern game that cannot be accused of being too archaic. The project is undoubtedly a must-buy for fans of the genre and all those who appreciate easy-to-learn, but addictive games.

    Streets of Rage 4 delivers the greatest hits of the classic series and is at its best when played with at least one friend. If the primary focus was delivering a traditional Streets of Rage experience with a modern coat of paint, it absolutely succeeds. But while it layers on a few new and interesting mechanics, it’s still a very conservative update to the quarter-century-old format that feels like a slave to the past.

Had a hard time playing online with WiFi and the game would cut out on me when we’d get to a boss, but that all seems to be patched. The music is dope as well. Ended up passing $189 to limited run for the limited collectors edition physical game due to this game slowing up and showing out. Highly recommend buying and keeping for the catalog. If you’re a collector, get this physical version while you can.… Expand

First off it runs well on the Switch. I prefer the Switch for couch co-op games, you can bring it to your friends house and I have a ton of Switch controllers. This is a great couch co-op game, up to four players. If you love classic beat-em-ups (or modern ones like Castle Crashers) then this is not to be missed. The gameplay is tight, classic with some modern touches. The graphics look incredible, with a unique clean style that adheres closely to the classic designs. You can even make the game look retro with the original sprites if that's your thing. It's cheap, it's fun, you can play it with your friends (well maybe later this year). Go get it!… Expand

    The only thing I dislike about this game is that modern concept of limitless continues. Old games was more challenging.
