I've tried to find in my quest today's beat-em up versions of the streets of rage series and this is the closest of them all. It's literally streets of rage 4. well, sort of. However, it does have its quirks and issues. For one thing I can't understand for the life of me why developers think it's necessary to to stuff the screen with loads of AI enemies that, chock full of them don't give you breathing space or the time to pull off neat combo tricks. It can get really cluttered on screen. it becomes infuriating being knocked down every second. I can't remember streets of rage being cluttered or getting my head kicked in every second.Also the the characters animations is like figgety like their missing a frame or two. the game needs more ironing out.Nevertheless, saying all this. I was literally hooked to the game. It certainly made me feel like going back it time. I would definitely recommend this game to streets of rage \/ final fight fans of the genre. It's definitely one of the best so far.Finally, I can confirm this works out of the box in wine Linux with 3.xx staging on Ubuntu 16.04. No extra DLLs required to install.. wow. what a good game to play with a friend or solo remind me of the first final fight game from capcom there is a lot of inspiration from this game try it if you love 2d fighting game it is a blast.. I grew up playing lots of side scrolling beat em ups in my local arcade. Final Fight was probably my overall favourite. This game encapsulates the feeling and so much more. The graphics and art style is fantastic and its really well presented.It will take quite some practice to build strategies on how to take down multiple foes but its a lot of fun doing it. There are challenges for each level and a ton of achievemenmts which is always nice. If you like side scrolling beat em ups this defintely for you. Oh and its offline co op as well, which is always great fun.. Still deciding on whether I enjoy this game. The sound effects could be better (where is that bone-crunching punch sound?) and there needs to be an option to enhance resolution. I stopped playing the game after the first stage, because the game absolutely needs CONTROLLER SUPPORT!! I can't play this type of game with a keyboard. I want to use my Madcatz arcade fightstick or at the very least an XBOX or Steam controller.I will review this game in its entirety once they release full CONTROLLER SUPPORT and hopefully the ability to game at 4K resolution. Please make it happen MakinGames! Until then, I won't be recommending this title.Favorite beat'em ups of all time: Double Dragon (Arcade), Streets of Rage 2, and Final Fight (Arcade). I knew what to expect about this game. I was born in the 80's. Street of Rage, Final Fight and the TMNT games are part of my DNA. This game was made practically by 2 people who I would love to have a cup of coffee with, because I feel they understand me. That they know me so well... because the game is amazing. It's everything we, Beat-em-Ups lovers would want from a game like this. This is more than retro, this is a love letter to the genre! I would love to have support for a third player and sometimes the game is really tough but hey. The game is beautiful to look at and the Good Cop \/ Bad Cop system is really cool and original. The gameplay sometimes feels like it could be a little bit smoother but nothing that ruins the experience. It is still, above all, a solid game in terms of gameplay. If you'd like to feel back in the 90\u00b4s again, do yourself a favor and buy this game. Buy it mostly to support the developers, support their passion and ours and let people know that this genre NEEDS to comeback because it\u00b4s fun and one of the best coach co-op experiences. **=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+**If you enjoy my short and sweet reviews, please follow our curator page here! We are the Indies of Curators!. if you are a fan of final fight, this game is definately for you. it has the same features as final fight, but it also has a couple of extra features eg. you can hit people on the ground(just like in Vendetta),grab people (like in double dragon and do commbos on them),arrest people when dazzed and if you arrest certain people "with warrants "you get heaps of points(they will have a red outline and also their name will come upo at the start of the stage.The only cons are; if you try to arrest a person with a warrant while they are dazzed it is really hard to do when all of his buddies are round and also most of the time you kill them accidenttly because you lose track of them when there is a heap of them on screen, have to pick up weapons with the grab button,always have to remember about the grab button to pick up weapons not like in final final where you just walk near them and push punch to pick it up, bad guys throw heaps of stuff like all of the weapons.But in other words great fun to play if a fan of final fight and doesnt cost that much and it is good(copy) remake of an old school side scrolling beat'em up. Nah... Isn't it. Stiff music, stiff algorithms, gameplay isn't refined. Nice effort though it is definitely there. Bright side is I found out about Mother Russia bleeds and River City Ransom Underground so can't get mad. Especially when these games exceed expectations. Had to refund this one.. Raging Justice is a classically inspired side-scrolling beat-em-up both inside and out. What's particularly noteworthy is its arrival comes over two decades after the genre was last considered hot. While the contemporary release date is likely enough to drive most fans interest, the question ultimately becomes whether there's a good game to be had here or not. After having played and (mostly) enjoyed the game for several hours, my answer is yes but with some very clear caveats.If I had to put my finger squarely on what Raging Justice is trying to accomplish, it's pushing to be a reimagining and\/or spiritual successor to entries in the Final Fight and Streets of Rage series overall. From the gritty back allies and junkyard landscapes, to the abandoned fun fair and mansion that players will visit later on, the game attempts to capture the classic "street brawler" atmosphere of late 80's \/ early 90's arcade blockbusters that were chewing up quarters while simultaneously feasting on players frustrations. For the most part it's a successful realization of this formula complete with an array of punks and criminals, pallete swapped accordingly for further enemy diversity.That's to say, Raging Justice looks, feels, and plays like your typical arcade side-scrolling brawler with all the cheap hits, questionable AI, and "hey! that's just not fair" gameplay of its forefathers from decades gone by. You *will* get double, triple, and even quadruple teamed with enemies coming at you from all sides, even on the "Wimp" difficulty. You'll marvel at how the blast radius from a stick of dynamite half a screen over even touched you, let alone knocked you to the ground and robbed so much of your precious health. You'll seethe at being unable to get a hit in as the millisecond you arise from a knockdown, one of the 6 to 8 (or more) on-screen enemies will have already knocked you down... again... for the 5th time in a row.With time, skill and progression, you'll likely get better though. This amounts to learning the quirks of the game and eventually figuring out a strategy to effectively cheat the game worse than the game cheats you. So goes the classic beat-em-up genre, so goes Raging Justice.While not quite commensurate with 2018 industry standards, the visuals in Raging Justice are a decent mix of contemporary graphical techniques and throwback Final Fight-esque presentation. While the game won't win any awards in the eye candy department, what's on offer here is more than serviceable and, again, hearkens back to the time when the genre was at its hottest. This also includes some stilted, stuttery animation throughout. The harshest critics will likely claim that it has to do with unexplainable performance issues the game is incurring, while genre fans\/apologists will offer "true to its roots" as the more likely explanation.The music and sound effects really don't strike me one way or the other. While there's nothing here that I would consider downright bad, there's also nothing that really stands out either. Said differently, the audio samples and *especially* the music from both Final Fight and Streets of Rage remain quite memorable some 20+ years later. Those featured in Raging Justice... not so much.While the developer gets bonus points for trying something new, the Good Cop (arrest) \/ Bad Cop (kill) dynamic ultimately feels tacked on and out of place in such a frenzied, sometimes panic driven game. Raging Justice often downright refuses to cooperate with the mechanic even in the simplest of scenarios with limited enemies and weapons flying at you. By the time you hit the third or fourth stage, you'll probably forget it's even there, save for the end-level stats reminding you that you failed yet another arrest-based challenge.Flaws and all, Raging Justice is certainly worth a go for longtime fans of the beat-em-up genre. Team 17 \/ MakinGames did their homework on what made those older releases equal parts frustrating and fun and did a solid job matching their game up accordingly. For those new to the scene, I'd advise taking in at least a few YouTube videos before deciding to hit the purchase button. The main reason new releases in the genre are so few and far between is because the format hasn't evolved (or, more accurately, has failed in the attempt) over time. Despite some new mechanics and a new-ish coat of paint, Raging Justice likely won't convince newcomers or previous naysayers that beat-em-ups are officially back. For those of us old enough to still remember though, Raging Justice successfully scratches an itch that's been mostly ignored (save for fan-made games) since the last iterations of Final Fight and Streets of Rage were new.
