trj22487 | 350 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Anybody playing yet? I have Xbox Game Pass already so I just installed it. I've only gotten to the title screen so far haha. The music is just so good! Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/3511-streets-of-rage-4-is-out/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redmond | 152 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Beware the taser cops. I'm liking what I've played so far. Cherry's fun to play as, reminds me of Randy from Guardian Heroes with her aerial head stomp move and her blitz attack is kind of like his "uppercut" move with the twirling staff. I wasn't a fan of the graphic style initially but it's grown on me. Seems like a worthy entry into the series.

fox | 1,834 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Pretty much the Sonic Mania treatment for Streets of Rage fans. Gameplay sticks very close to old school with a couple modern day improvements, some of the moves give it a big of a fighting game feel. I really dig it. Cherry and her pogo aerial attacks and combos is a lot of fun to use. She is pretty much this game's Skate.

Nesmaster | 402 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I have around 15 hours in. My first run I was using Floyd and not loving it. I've been trying others and having a better time. I went back to Floyd after learning the game and it's mechanics (abilities, enemy AI, how to combo better), and had a way better time with him too. I'm not super familiar with the older games, but this is a competent beat-em-up at the core, and it's doing a good job at keeping my attention. Co-op is better, of course.

zeppelin03 | 314 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I will probably get it on switch although the PC version has a nice low latency mode. May switch to the 3 button layout and use a Genesis style controller too.

trj22487 | 350 Posted May 1, 2020 Author Share Posted May 1, 2020 (edited) This game uses five buttons. There is a three button layout though? Kind of strange for picking up items to have its own button. Am I really the only one that chose Axel for the first play? I think this game is great! Much better with the controller in your hands, I got over the graphical style right away, it's pretty damn good. Although the combat gives me more of a Comix Zone feel, which I also love Edited May 1, 2020 by trj22487 1 Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/3511-streets-of-rage-4-is-out/#findComment-73701 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamCuPS | 32 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Ive played, and that's my first impressions: Good: very beautiful game, with several modes, characters, etc. Not so good: gameplay is very fast, its feel is far different from the original SoR games. Not bad, just a bit too "modern" for me. The new ost is nothing special. The game's price is around 16.50 usd here in Brazil, and not very worthy it imo.

Redmond | 152 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 My little dog Pockets. Those guys are pretty annoying. I want to say the charge up move or grabbing them is the best way to deal with em, not really sure. The charge move works well on the knife Galsias and takes priority over them ( at least for Cherry ).

Instead of hands behind the back, it’s now in their pockets. Also, you’re doing special moves with dragon punches and fire coming out of your hands.

DreamCuPS | 32 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 (edited) Btw, that "hands in the pockets" guy is no ordinary enemy. He blocks easily some of your attacks, like flying kicks, etc. He's annoying. Speaking of annoying, the same might be said about those big policemen, who just run at you, get you on the ground and give you a taser hit. Idk, I played on normal level, maybe on easy it's not tough.

I never play on normal level but on the hardest this game might enforce those life draining special moves wich is a game system i dislike. They did that on SoR2 when i played hardest with Blaze the bosses countered everything that wasn't the special move both the wrestler and fat boxer, it was really annoying.

I tend to start on normal, than I move on to the harder ones. But this games' stages seem to be quite short, anyway.

Stages are 5-15 each. Game over means restarting the stage and not the entire game (unless you are in arcade mode.). Retrying a stage also allows assists giving you extra lives and supers in exchange for reduced score. Most enemies have more than one hard counter so you don’t have to spam specials. But I’d encourage not to sleep on the specials just because they drain energy, there is a rally mechanic where using a special makes part of your heath bar green and you can reclaim some of the spent health by landing more attacks. If you get hit all that health is gone though, so it makes specials a more risk/reward option.

BouncekDeLemos | 85 Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Due to my current living conditions, I won't be able to play this game for a while. However, I did buy the physical version, so I'll have that waiting for me. The criticisms I hear are mostly nitpicks, from unbalanced difficulty spikes to not being able to pick up a health item while holding a weapon in the legacy control opinion. However, that doesn't seem to bother me. Blaze looks like a damn SNACK, and I wouldn't want it any other way.

Good that they're retaining the old games features and 12 stages is quite a lot for this type of game. I don't like the health loss because it prevents a perfect no-damage run. It's also a lazy way of fighting because the enemies can't pose a threat during that window of time.
