About This Game
Gameplay: The gameplay is designed around a new combo system that allows you to link together punches and kicks. Quickly put enemies in to the ground, keep them stunned or launch them in to the air and continue to juggle! Maintaining a combo will fill your Super meter faster and allow you to unleash a devastating attack. You can also find and use weapons such as crowbars, swords and machine guns scattered around the levels. Last but not least, each character is equipped with a unique sidearm but ammunition is scarce so use it wisely! The game is easy to get in to but not easy to master.
Music:The soundtrack featured in the game contains music from Little V Mills, Richie Branson, James Ronald and Yuzo Koshiro!
Difficulty: The game offers three difficulty modes, Easy, Normal and Hard. In Hard mode the game always starts from Stage 1, there are no continues and enemies are faster, more aggressive and there are more of them. This setting is aimed at hardcore old-school beat'em up fans looking for a challenge.
Visual style: The art style consists of a mix of pre-rendered high resolution character sprites and detailed real time backgrounds built with 1080p or above resolutions in mind. The story is presented via comic book style cutscenes.

I enjoyed a lot... a great game to play.. everyone should play it those who love retro fighting game.
Good effort at making Streets of Rage 2.5D, but it ultimately falls a bit flat. Graphically it looks good and bad at the same time. Over 50% of the cut scenes didn't work at all for me, but the ones that did were not great. Like that LT is run, but I missed the classic run into jumping double-leg kick move and that wasn't present here (for the main dude at least - only guy I played as so far). The non-fighting stages were a neat side-piece, but weren't explained and were clunky. 2 later bosses were a bit too cheap with spinning attacks, plus the endless extra enemies in the boss fights weren't fun. Overall normal difficulty almost felt too easy, except for the final stage with all of the bosses repeated, which is what the older titles did, but in this case it ramps difficulty a bit too high. Beat on the Deck, which it ran great on, but it likely would be better on PC as the button config screen was clearly designed for larger screens. All in all I don't recommend, but just barely, saw...
a cool looking beat'em up with dumb af AI. They really let you just do w/e to them... Especially bosses. Combo system is lackluster, they tried.
Awesome game!! Brings back memories from gaming on my SNES & Genesis in the 90's
