The stages also have some really lovely backgrounds, and just between the two Lizardcube games, SOR4’s visual quality far exceeds that of the Wonder Boy remake, showing that the dev team has improved their own style since then.Īnother cool visual touch comes from the unlockable additions of the old sprite versions of the playable characters from Streets of Rage 1-3. Seriously, this is one game where looking at screenshots doesn’t do it justice, with the animations reminding me a lot of work from Wayforward, with toony art and lots of frames to make the characters stand out.
But instead of being a 32-bit themed throwback, or a sprite based game in a similar fashion to Double Dragon IV, Streets of Rage 4 uses the 2D art that made the recent Wonder Boy III remake stand art, and it looks insanely good in motion. Right from the onset, Streets of Rage 4 looks significantly different from the previous games, given the gap in years from the last installment along with the obvious improvements in technology since then. In this belt scroller action game, set ten years after the climatic ending to Streets of Rage 3, you take control of Axel and Blaze, along with two newcomers related to their old allies as they set out to stop a mysterious rise in crime in the city! Old friends and enemies come back, and while the story in general is fairly standard for the genre, it does offer some nice surprises for those who’ve played the previous three games, without making any of them mandatory.
