![]() Shiva also feels wonderful with smooth, fast attacks that encourage you to get in and out. He packs a major punch, though, and his move-set gives you the tools you need. You have to get closer to enemies before attacking, and there are situations when that won’t work well. He’s a bit tougher to play and perhaps not the best starting character for new players. She brings a bit of both styles, though, and felt like a great fit in any scenario I took her into. She’s not as fast as Cherry, nor does she pack a punch like Max or Floyd. Fitting, as when I played the original game, my first thought when seeing how detailed her model and photo were was that she would eventually be playable.Įstel is my favorite of the three, combining power and grace in a wicked combo. ![]() Estel was a new character for Streets of Rage 4, and this is her first time being playable in any form. You could previously unlock Max’s Streets of Rage 2 character and Shiva’s Streets of Rage 3 character, but these are full versions of the characters designed for Streets of Rage 4. Max Thunder, Estel Aguirre, and Shiva are all now fully playable characters. The biggest update here are three new characters for you to rage as. ![]() X Nightmare DLC may not take the same risks the original release did, but fans of the game will find an update worth their time. So when I heard the team at Lizardcube had more in store for me, I was ready to hit the streets. It scored a 4.5/5 from us ( Our Review) and ended up as our second favorite game of 2020. With exquisite, smooth, hard-hitting combat, it made us remember what we loved about this classic series while not being afraid to push the series forward either. Streets of Rage 4 was one of our biggest surprises of 2020. X Nightmare DLC Review: Return To The Streets This game is great, if you like beat’em ups, this is the one.Streets of Rage 4 Mr. Honestly, this is how DLCs are done, it really adds a lot to an already incredible game. Of course, to accompany Survival mode, there are tons of new set pieces that serve as arenas for each stage in the new game mode: they added environmental traps, that we can interact with, to our advantage (or demise), they also added several new weapons, some of them are quite fun to use, and among these new set pieces, we have many easter eggs from the original games, including both locations and enemies / bosses. That’s nice and fun competition, I like it. ![]() Survival is randomly generated, more or less, but it also offers a fixed, weekly, variation, where the buffs we get, enemies and bosses never change during that week. Then we have the Survival game mode, which is where we gain experience to unlock the new skills and stuff. Three new characters (plus a secret one), with complete animation movesets and all, plus complete alternative unlockable special movements for ALL of the characters in the game, both “HD” and retro characters, plus new palette colors for all of the HD characters. It was so cheap that it makes me feel I owe money to the developers, really, 6€ (and even 10% discounted day one!) for such a great amount of new stuff. It was so cheap that it makes me feel I owe money to the developers, really, 6€ (and even 10% discounted day one!) This is DLC done RIGHT. Before the DLC the game probably wasn't at 10/10 level, but after the DLC, I think it's closer to a 10 than it is to a 9. It would have been nice if they'd added native support for online 4 player, but that can still be done with Steam Remote Play or Parsec. Part of it is I'm not really nostalgic for the old school graphics and animations (which I thought were fine back then), I much prefer the smooth hand drawn style of SoR4. Opinion obviously, but I just enjoy SoR4 more than I remember enjoying the old SoR games I played as a kid on my Sega. And then the free update adds in even more stuff: * Excellent training mode, which also has tips and training on how to play the characters that can show people that the combat system is deeper than just mashing the punch button * Palette swaps so multiple of the same character can be used in multiplayer * Mania+ difficulty for people that are into that * Balance changes and other updates/fixes It's a fantastic DLC that just adds to what I already considered the best SoR game. * Three new characters with multiple movesets * New moves for all the old characters to allow them also to be customized * A 4th hidden character to go along with the three new characters * A very fun and highly replayable Survival mode * New songs * New weapons and enemies (enemies from previous games) All for just $8, which is kinda silly considering the amount of work just needed for the additional animations for the old and new characters. * New moves for all the old characters to allow This DLC makes a great game even better. * Three new characters with multiple movesets
