If you like Streets of Rage 2 for the Genesis you will equally like this easy. 10/10 beat em up.

Aug. 2024

Clearly inspired by Sega's Streets of Rage series, a solid game with good visuals and fun moment to moment gameplay. Sometimes the controls don't feel as responsive as I'd like, and the music can be a bit generic. Otherwise a good game well worth the purchase if you like side-scrolling brawlers.

Resident Evil meets Street Fighter. That medium-built guy looks very much like Leon in the game than in the CG. With all the nice kicks, punches, guns, and him dealing with monsters in Chapter 4, this game could be a fun DLC for any RE remasters. That fireball comes out of his hand w/ good damage looks neat and familiar, and the blast when you get full energy is stunning. I had some fun playing, the hits feel strong and satisfying, with good visuals. However there aren't enough enemy kinds, just longer health bars and the walkthrough feels repeated. In my opinion, if the main campaign is about 1/2 - 2/3 of current length it might be better. Overall it's worth a try, at least on discount for $3.99.

Genuinely good game. More Streets of Rage than Streets of Rage 4. The graphics are a bit rough around the edges, and I would like to have seen more combos. But it feels good. Hopefully a Takeover 2 will be released that improves on this one. This game can actually become a cult classic if the devs take it seriously.
