Ctrl Alt Critique - Streets of Rage 4

Slightly later than intended post. I was meant to post this last week, however time has not been on my side as of recent. We’ve dropped two podcast episodes since my last post. Here is the first of these uploads. Bailey, Ad and I cover the 2020 beat-em-up smash, Streets of Rage 4.

Me being me, I ended up going off on a massive tangent, spending a heft chunk of the episode talking about the…

Burning with Rage.

Axel Stone is burning with rage to clear crime from the streets of Wood Oak City. Whether it be the lowest of thugs to the highest of society, he’s itching for a fight to take back his city. Enjoy!

Streets of Rage 4 V08 patch is officially available! I think on all consoles and PC. And Jordi, the main sor4 developer said there would be a trailer of some sort. I'm not sure if that was a joke or if it's something legitimate coming soon. And the official v08 patch notes was said to be released soon as well.

Just beat Axel in the museum? Think you've seen it all? Think again! Stage Eight of Streets of Rage 4 throws you into a chaotic art gallery filled with enemies, traps, and a boss fight that's anything but a masterpiece.

My new YouTube video dives deep into this stage, giving you the tips and tricks you need to survive the artistic onslaught. Here's a sneak peek of what you'll learn:

Dodge those deadly lasers! The art gallery is filled with security lasers that can seriously mess up your day. Learn the patterns and master the art of dodging (pun intended).

Beware the exploding statues! These aren't your average museum pieces. Be mindful of glowing statues that can erupt in a fiery explosion.

Take down the cyborg curator! No museum tour is complete without a final boss, and Stage Eight's curator is a cybernetic nightmare. My video will show you how to exploit his weaknesses and send him packing.

Whether you're a seasoned brawler or a newcomer to the Streets of Rage scene, this video will equip you for the artistic annihilation that awaits in Stage Eight. So grab your favorite weapon (or a paintbrush in a pinch) and get ready to rumble!

Streets of Rage 4

Better with Rage

Review: Streets of Rage 4

Today marks the one-year anniversary of the release of Streets of Rage 4, but in many ways, the game feels like it could have come out decades ago. I mean that in the best way possible; Streets of Rage 4 is right at home with the very best beat-'em-ups from years gone by, when the genre was in its heyday and series like Final Fight, Double Dragon, and the vintage Streets of Rage titles were unstoppable on consoles and arcades. The teams at Lizardcube, Guard Crush Games, and Dotemu have recaptured that hard-hitting, visceral magic with precision and impact, and delivered a love letter to beat-'em-up fans that keeps me smiling and replaying even a year after launch.

To me, the joy of a good beat-'em-up comes from two primary sources: satisfying action and plentiful variety. Like its Sega-created predecessors, Streets of Rage 4 nails it in the first department with responsive controls, generous collision detection, and an excellent sense of reaction from enemies as you lay into them (or from your character as they pummel you), with just the right amount of stagger and the ability to smoothly chain moves into one another. Grabs and auto-combos are as intuitive as ever, but unlike the classic Streets of Rage games, the engine accounts for juggles and rebound attacks, opening up even more combo possibilities, while special moves now offer the opportunity to regenerate health, making them a more viable, user-friendly combat option.

And when it comes to variety, the game is likewise second to none. Four playable characters are available from the beginning: series mainstays Axel Stone and Blaze Fielding, who both offer solid all-around capabilities; Cherry Hunter, who brings speed and acrobatic flair; and Floyd Iraia, the slow but sturdy powerhouse. While Floyd is my favorite (I especially love the wild look in his eyes as he grabs two enemies and smashes them together), each character is fun in their own way, and the initial four are joined by a number of unlockables, including Adam Hunter (finally playable again after the first SOR!) and almost (almost!) every playable character from past Streets of Rage games in all their pixel-art glory.

But character variety is only the beginning; moves, enemies, bosses, weapons, obstacles, environments — Streets of Rage 4 delivers across the board. While the game starts in the familiar city streets (complete with the good ol' Pine Pot diner), you'll soon find yourself in a police station, on a boat (an SOR standard!), in a restaurant kitchen, atop a speeding train, in an art gallery, at a concert, and more, with each level packed with both new and returning foes. No level overstays its welcome, ensuring that the game stays constantly fresh, fun, and interesting across the two to three hours it takes to complete the game's story mode. There are even hidden throwbacks to classic SOR series moments.

Speaking of classic Streets of Rage, I especially enjoyed how the game's story ties directly into the original trilogy. Story has never been a particularly important part of beat-'em-ups, but what's here sets the stage spectacularly and shows a great respect for the games that have come before, with numerous fun connections to past series entries.

The presentation is excellent as well. Now in hand-drawn HD, the graphics are every bit as charming as their old-school counterparts, with vibrant colors and impressive yet often subtle lighting effects. And, of course, Streets of Rage wouldn't be Streets of Rage without rockin', adrenaline-pumping music. Though it may not reach the nostalgic heights of SOR 1 or 2, and my favorite tracks are Yuzo Koshiro's retro-flavored tunes, SOR4 delivers a fantastic soundtrack that continues the series trend of offering cutting edge and slightly experimental sounds through a combination of energetic rhythms, pounding beats, and modern dance and techno influences.

It all comes together in what I consider to be very close to beat-'em-up perfection — taking the classic formula I loved from the Sega Genesis era and modernizing it with four-player action, online gameplay, smoother play mechanics, and a gorgeous coat of visual polish, all while honoring the original games that made this one possible. Thanks to its pick-up-and-play nature and a variety of difficulty options, it's a game that I keep coming back to again and again, even a year after launch; it's easily my favorite video game of 2020 (and of course, I had to get the collector’s edition!).

And perhaps the best part is that it's not over yet. With DLC on the way, the fight continues with new environments, new playable characters, new weapons, new music, and the new Mr. X Nightmare mode. And I absolutely cannot wait.
