Streets of Rage 4 is a revival of the classic arcade beat-em-up. The aim of the game is to move from left to right, obliterate objects for points, knock out enemies and pick up health and weapons. The game mainly focuses on the nostalgia of the original game and is fairly unadventurous with not much modernisation from the original game.

The plot is presented well but not that engaging and can come across a little cheesy. It comes across as quite a silly plot but does pull it off well.

There are however a couple of differences in this new spin-off game than the previous ones, the makers have added a risk-reward twist with that any lost health can potentially be earnt back if you string a combo of standard attacks together on top of it. Weapons are no longer restricted to hand-to-hand combat either.

It’s a simple but interesting minigame and you can easily spend hours playing so we do recommend giving it a try.
