Of course, if you want to relive those Streets of Rage 2 memories, have at it. We already have Floyd, so Max feels out of place. Max Thunder, however, I’m not so sure of. Estel is an interesting character, and I’m still working on her, but she’s not too bad. This makes him dangerous if there are lots of weapons lying around. When you attempt to pick up any weapon, Shiva immediately tosses them in a straight path and at high speed. See, unlike the other characters, Shiva is a living weapon, and as such, he can’t use weapons. If you asked me who the star of the show was, it has to be Shiva. Hey, you all asked, and Guard Crush Games and Lizardcube have delivered. You can pick either of the three and play through the original Streets of Rage 4 game or jump straight into the Streets of Rage 4 Mr. While that never happened, Estel and Max Thunder, and Shiva, other characters who originally non-playable characters, are now playable. In addition to free training, there are also several training room sessions that will teach both new and veteran players a thing or two.Įver since Streets of Rage 4 was released, players have asked and begged for Estel, the NPC police officer, to be playable in the original game. Some moves have the potential to change how characters completely as I’ve learned and spending some time in the training room definitely did me some good figuring things out. While you’re off earning new moves, it’s important to see how those work and how they’ll affect your gameplay. Take my heed, do not ignore the training room. Here, you’re able to change how many enemies can spawn, assign infinite star and special moves, the enemies’ health (helpful for creating new combos), and more. This training room feels like it was ripped out of a fighting game. The survival mode isn’t the only thing added in this DLC, as a robust training room is also included. There’s also a number of older Streets of Rage stages that have made their way into the DLC in addition to the new stages. Personally, I’ve only made it to stage 20 and there are still more stages after that. It’s all in the name of making your playing sessions harder. There’s another stage with several wrecking balls that you can use against your enemies and yourself if you’re not careful. But also not so great as they can do this to you as well. Great, as you can toss enemies around and off the screen easily. For example, one stage has a massive hole in the middle, while the outside has electrified ropes that tend to flicker on and off. There are two different survival mode options A random sim and a weekly sim both of which do the same thing as far as I’m aware.Īs for the levels, yes they are randomized, but some also have gimmicks. You’ll likely experience these runs as well. As you can imagine, this gets frustrating, especially if you’re on an otherwise fantastic run. Sadly, the RNG is a huge pain and I’ve encountered runs where the power-ups were terrible, I didn’t get much food, and of course, the enemies because super cheezy. But again, everything is randomized, so don’t count on a specific power-up being available. Some are great, a few have some sort of compromise, others flat-out suck. Everything! The levels, the enemies, the bosses you’ll encounter, the power-ups, everything! Along the way, you’ll clear out a level, and then you’ll be presented with several randomized power-ups. Oh, before I forget, everything is random. The survival is simple - pick a character, and off you go as you try and attempt to handle the waves of enemies tossed at you. Which I think they’ve succeeded in doing. That out of the way, they set out to not only finally work on this survival mode but to make it the best they could. Why a survival mode, you ask? Apparently, the developers of the game always wanted to include a survival mode for Streets of Rage 4 but wanted to finish the base game first. X Nightmare is the newly added survival mode. The meat and potatoes of Streets of Rage 4 Mr. That said, if you’re all about seeing how far you can get in the newly added Survival Mode, or grinding out new moves and weapons, then you’re in luck. The story of Streets of Rage 4 was concluded, and you won’t get any continuation of that in this DLC. If you’re looking for another campaign, you’re going to be disappointed as there is none. Platform(s): PC (reviewed), PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Switchĭeveloper(s): Guard Crush Games, Lizardcubeīefore we jump into this review, I have to set the record straight as I know there was some confusion about what this DLC is. X Nightmare make you pick that controller back up and take it to the streets again? That’s what we intend to find out. Streets of Rage 4 finally has received some DLC in the form of a survival mode and training room, but is it enough for fans of the series who want more? Can Streets of Rage 4 Mr.
