Joseph Writes- If Marvel says that Infinity War is the greatest crossover in media of all time, Streets of Red replies with, Hold my beer. The central theme is Video games versus Horror movies and you control a hero who's been given powers by a somewhat familiar looking fairy, to battle the undead and evil plaguing the world.
GameCrate: "While beat ‘em ups don’t sit atop a throne like they once did, the genre has experienced a renaissance the past few years. Maybe you’ve found your love of the brawler rekindled, or perhaps you’re a newer fan who wants to pummel more fools after playing Streets of Rage 4. Whatever the case may be, here are 10 new school beat ‘em ups worth playing."
Surprised Mother Russia Bleeds didn't make their list. Great game in my opinion.
Great art design. Not all that great for gameplay. Baseline experience for a beat em up.
Love streets of rage 4. I’d even love some DLC for the game or even another installment down the road. Maybe sense SEGA seen the success of Streets of Rage 4 that they may make it into a Triple AAA gaming beat em up title. Similar to the beat’em up favorite of mine back on PS2 called Bouncer. That game was amazing.
What makes a brawler better than its simple gameplay? Adding in pop culture icons from other games and horror films, of course.
Streets of Red is a tribute to the awesome beat 'em up era from the 90s found on the 8-bit and 16-bit consoles; plus the local arcades. I can't recommend this brawler enough, due to the challenging, yet rewarding gameplay and immensely fun trip down memory lane it provides on the Nintendo Switch.
Loving the old school look and feel to this one. The permadeath mechanic that deletes your save file once you lose all your lives and ability to continue is brutal!
Ditto on the JS Boss! I had no idea that he was in it, so had to take a double-take at first, lol.
