Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Timeless classic with infinite replay value! Quite therapeutic, indeed.
We have this on our android tablets and our IOS iPad and love it so much and also have it on steam as well so as you can see owning it on everything we have shows how much we love this game! The nylon mode we really play is survival but hey we do also play arcade/story mode just not as much! If we could go higher on stars we would go 10! Thank you for making this for both Android and IOS.
This fourth installment to the franchise is more like a well done remake and return to form of Streets of Rage 2. Also full of fan service.
Looks and plays great, getting 60FPS no issues with ultra settings.
They achieved the impossible – creating a sequel that preserved the spirit of the original while delivering a fresh, logical, and captivating story. The characters are well-developed, the plot keeps you engaged from start to finish, and the atmosphere brought us back to our childhood when we first played this game on the Sega. Huge thanks to the developers for reviving those emotions and making the game even better than before.
Keep them coming , we miss the beat them up mash button games like the turtles arcade , streets of rage types.
Really fun, please add a couple more characters.
Its so much fun and we love action games and its has a best combat in this game.
We didnt mean what we said because we were just mad the problem we have with the game is we dont like when the bosses jump you also we dont like the enemies camping the heals also can you make dr zan playable and can you make easy modes on everything sorry if thats too much too ask.
Finally, the type of games we want has finally made it to the App Store now it feels like our Phone has everything.
Im not even sure its loading on the startup. Never made it to the title screen.
Like this series since we were a Kid.
Streets of rage is one of our beat them up fighting series. This new iteration of the series gives us a new level of quality and story and building on the past. This version pays homage to 1, 2 and 3.
How exciting! This game fills us with joy and enthusiasm. The sounds are a delight when we use our headphones, and we would love for them to add more characters or expand the story and campaign levels. We just want more and more of this wonderful experience that makes us so happy.
Loving it 5 stars! Got it on android and iOS and pc and loving it! Great addition to the series and not regrets on getting the game and dlc on our iOS pc and android! Looking forward to sor 5 still being made.
MANS FINNA FLIDDLE PIDDLE WHEN PIDDLE WIDDLE TRUST BARNY THE PURPLE DRAGON.
Love this game and the nostalgia from the version 1 to 4 they are all amazing and entertaining.
Perfect all around all aspects accept touchscreen does make it hard to do certain moves . Lucky though it works very well with a Xbox control or attachments . The Xbox series x controller feels great much like a Super Nintendo feel and very responsive.
Man we love this game , it plays just as good on the phone as it does on the Sega and as it does on the other later consuls, we could play this for days on end no complaints from us.
Just, we dont even know where to start This game has taken our absolute BREATH away. Between the character design, the gameplay, the attention to detail (backgrounds, easter eggs, etc.) and not to mention the MUSIC???? Absolutely. Freaking. InSANE. We love this game with all our heart. No other game could ever top this and Ive played over 40+ action games. Props to our dad for introducing us to the franchise, because this has become a giNORMOUS puzzle piece in our life now. Ive bought this game across every platform we own (iPad, Xbox, Phone, PS5, Desktop), DLC included. We CANNOT stress to you how much we wanna support this game. This franchise. We wanna shake hands with the developers because this right here?? Truly TRULY, a work of art.
Beautiful game, go buy it! This is a Wonderful port of a modern classic! They fixed all the old bugs and added the missing features, that were missing during launch. This is the gold standard of brawler fighting game genre. OLD REVIEW (3 stars) Removed 2 stars because: 1) There is no online multiplayer -> this is very bad in our eyes, this is a community game 2) Does not support cross-play multiplayer so we can play with other platforms (xbox, switch, pc, sony.. Etc) Diablo Immortal on iOS has cross-play with pc. We AM AWARE multiplayer will be released later at some time. When released, we will test it out and if works just as wonderful as the other platforms (switch, xbox, pc, playstation) we will HAPPILY edit our rating and add those two – – – REMOVED 1 because MAJOR BUG: During Axel & Blaze trials, the game severely lags for no reason! We have graphical settings on mid (which our device can handle ultra) we have iPad Pro (4th Gen – 2020 model) we tried the following troubleshooting techniques, none of it helps: closed out the app and relaunched it reboot iPad apps closed on the background our iPad running latest iOS: 15.5 Not that this matters, but we have 180 gigs of free hdd space we play on xbox one controller (works excellent with all our games) In the meantime, we cannot practice our combos, which is very sad. We love practicing our combos, then playing story mode with our new found combo skills, that we earned in practice.
We got this game on the ps4 and the virtual and hard copy the App Store needs to do more of this.
After a year on purchasing this game, Im still playing it love it.
This game never gets old. Its a modern twist on a blast from the past.
This game has got us feelin like im on the streets.
. TMNT shredder's revenge, hollow knight, katana zero, omg td. Pls playdigious omg td omg td.
Own this game on console and was excited to give it a go on mobilestill perfect, and plays like a dream on/justifies owning a Backbone.
Ive been playing Streetsofrage since we were a kid and beat part 1,2,&3 This is hands down the Best Game Ive ever played in our life! Its the only beat em up game u can do a 1017 hit combo ! & and keep going if u got the skills Thank u All 4 creating this masterpiece.
Streets of Rage. Favorite game series since Sega.
Not just to Streets of Rage but beat em ups in general. This app is an outstanding port of PC/console version. Shout out to Dotemu, Guard Crush and Lizardcube for keeping the dream alive and Playdigious for the excellent port.
Super fun. We cant stop playing.
This is about as good as it can be.
This game is such a huge step up from other beat em up games on mobile and we really enjoy it, we hope that once we beat it, we could get the Mr. X nightmare DLC.
Just an exceptional game. Worth the price and more.
They did a good job bringing this to iOS and android.
They could add more levels blend in the old levels that would make it more interesting.
Supporting the great dev team and company. Pls never stop updating to make this game better and better.
Streets of rage is one of our all time favorite game and the fact its just as smooth and our iPhone as if we are playing on a game console is fantastic! More please.
The npcs got hands lol plus the extra dlc and the online co op or randomly Wish Ryu or Ken or Billy and jimmy could of made it on awl man ill spend extra $ and hrs lol.
We just love keep playing story mode.
One and done purchase. Minimal microtransaction. 0 ads. Solid gameplay, sound, art design and graphics, varied customization, and CONTROLLER SUPPORT. AAA publishers THIS IS HOW YOU DO MOBILE.
Great classic beat them up action game.
The game not compatible with the backbone controller? Tried using it and not able to use it. But, can play it with other retro games like SOR 1 & 2.
Our title says enough playing this game as a teenager this came right on time.
Its one of our favorite game on iPad platform.
Awesome game. Can use DualShock controller and connect to TV for this. Online wish can use arcade extra maps, but works just fine.
The game is absolutely worth every penny! We have this game on PS4 & have platinum the game twice & we finally got it on IOS & we will be completing the game yet again. We love that it has controller support so you can connect your PS or Xbox controller & play as seamlessly as you do on console. We are amazed at this game yet again & we highly recommend it. If you are brand new, go to training to get familiar with the controls & then play the story first before diving into survival.
Game runs like butter on our iPad. This game is our childhood but in the future. Absolutely love it.
Plays exactly how it does on PS4.
