  • graphics
    102 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game features beautiful, polished 2D graphics that blend modern visuals with nostalgic, retro-inspired art styles, offering multiple aesthetic options. Reviewers praise the smooth animations, vibrant colors, and high-quality artwork that enhance the beat 'em up experience across devices, often noting its impressive performance and fidelity comparable to console versions. Despite minor performance issues reported by a few, the graphics are widely considered a standout aspect, significantly contributing to the game's appeal and replayability.

    • “Great throwback to the 16bit era, with polished graphics and updated music (or with retro pixelated graphics and Genesis style music, it's up to you to choose).”
    • “This is a 1:1 port even containing the DLC all with outstanding HD visuals and sound + native controller support Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X, PS4, PS5, Razer Kishi v1 and v2, Backbone, SteelSeries, MOGA by PowerA... the list goes on.”
    • “The game is stunning, 10/10 for graphics - the same as consoles and PC; 10/10 for developer quality - the time and effort that the devs have put in to bring the game to Google Play; 10/10 for controller support - mapping is perfect no issues or lag playing on Galaxy A21s with custom PS4 controller.”
    • “Gets to and through the loading screen, gets to the black screen with two artwork bars on the side and just stays there.”
    • “This is the product outcome of when westerners get their grubby fan-boy hands on a Japanese IP... this game doesn't feel like a Streets of Rage game, the music, art style, and combat is nothing like the original 3 games on the Sega MegaDrive.”
    • “It's bright and colorful and the graphics pull you in until you play it any length of time and see it's just a watered down side scroller that crowds the screen with clones of whack-a-mole characters and stupid bosses, none of which offer any sort of challenge.”
  • gameplay
    62 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is widely praised for its smoothness, responsive controls, and faithful yet refreshed beat 'em up mechanics, often enhanced by excellent graphics and a compelling soundtrack. While controller support is well-received, some users report minor issues like crashes, slow pacing, or lack of certain combat mechanics, and online multiplayer requires improvements. Overall, the game offers addictive, fun, and replayable gameplay that captures nostalgia with modern polish.

    • “Feels like I am playing on a handheld console, smooth gameplay and the buttons are also responsive.”
    • “It's basically an improved version of older Streets of Rage games, with more characters, better gameplay, more modes to play with, great soundtrack, and excellent graphics.”
    • “Excellent gameplay, it feels really smooth and it's a great upgrade to the original.”
    • “There's unnecessary changes done to character combat mechanics such as certain properties getting removed from certain attacks (i.e. OTG getting removed from blitz attacks that are present in the base game).”
    • “Control is bad, movement is so slow making the gameplay slow and the fight unsatisfying while the enemy is zooming across the map, and the characters' reach is short for attacking which is frustrating.”
    • “Looks pretty but no running, roll, or evade makes the gameplay feel slow, sluggish, and boring.”
  • music
    51 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game receives high praise for its nostalgic throwback to the 16-bit era, expertly blending classic retro tunes with modernized, high-quality tracks. Many users appreciate the option to switch between retro and updated soundtracks, enhancing immersion and replay value, though some desire more control over music selection and volume. Overall, the soundtrack is considered a standout feature that perfectly complements the visuals and gameplay, delivering a memorable and engaging audio experience.

    • “Overall, Yuzo Koshiro and Olivier Derivière created a prime example of music, which is why I love Streets of Rage in general.”
    • “The visuals are appealing (especially Blaze), the music is excellent, and the gameplay is as exciting as ever.”
    • “Graphics and art style are superb, the music is incredible, and combat is sooo satisfying.”
    • “The best of the best, but in the mobile version, at level 9 (where Goro and others appear) and at level 11 (where the bandits have a party), the music gets out of place, which is extremely annoying.”
    • “This game is great, the controls are good, the graphics are cool but there is a problem that is quite annoying, namely the sound volume is very low, the music from the game is not heard clearly even though it is set to the maximum.”
    • “The music in levels has an odd habit of starting then restarting at least once before playing normally.”
  • stability
    23 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game’s stability is inconsistent across devices, with some users experiencing frequent crashes, freezes after loading or during gameplay, and progression loss, while others report smooth performance at solid frame rates. Although many bugs have been addressed, occasional game-breaking issues like freezing after respawn remain, making the experience frustrating for some players. Overall, stability varies significantly depending on hardware, with certain models running the game nearly bug-free and others struggling with critical glitches.

    • “Running it on a SD845, runs great at default settings with solid 60fps and smooth performance, supports gamepad as expected.”
    • “Runs great on Level 3; so far had this on PS5 and I would say it's the same which is great, running on an S23 Ultra maxed out.”
    • “100% bug free.”
    • “Survival mode always freezes after completing stage 29 (later I found it is now random). The app crashes and all points and character progression are lost, making new unlocks frustrating to achieve.”
    • “Can't get to the game, it freezes right after showing 100% loaded. I've reinstalled several times with no luck. Update: How can I reach out through in-game chat if the game won't even load?”
    • “It was great when I was able to play, but since the update, it just goes to a black screen and freezes my phone.”
  • story
    22 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is engaging and true to the franchise, offering a satisfying and fun experience with smooth animation and good graphics. While some users note minor issues like cutscene text and a lack of checkpoints after failed missions, the storyline combined with survival mode and DLC content keeps players invested and eager for more expansions or additional storylines.

    • “Engaging story (not too complex; stays true to the franchise), controller support in an instant plug-in, also the DLC is worth getting.”
    • “From the few hours I spent playing the story mode, it was absolutely fun and worth the purchase.”
    • “New attacks, new story... this is a cool game!”
    • “Might take me a few days to get past the story intro mode...damn.”
    • “I wish the game could have a checkpoint to start again after a failed mission. Starting from scratch after a failed mission is annoying.”
    • “Lots of bugs; can't use on-screen hit buttons all of a sudden in survival and story mode. Please check, love the game.”
  • optimization
    17 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game generally runs smoothly with solid performance across various devices, including Snapdragon 845 and 865 processors, and offers good graphical customization for lower-end phones. Some users note minor slowdowns or stiff controls on certain devices, suggesting room for further optimization, particularly for newer models like the Samsung S22. Overall, the optimization is praised for delivering a smooth and visually appealing experience.

    • “No performance issues on high settings, and finally the combos are registered.”
    • “Running it on a SD845, runs great at default settings solid 60fps and smooth performance, supports gamepad as expected.”
    • “Superb graphical quality and performance on Snapdragon 865, smooth touch control, great, great stuff!”
    • “It just feels like sloppy programming that front ends literally everything without any optimization.”
    • “I assume it needs to be optimized for S22.”
    • “Characters' mobility and controller factors are stuttering and stiff.”
  • replayability
    15 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

While some desire more additional content, overall it is widely praised for its lasting fun and replay value across all skill levels.

    • “Great game, good amount of content, high replayability, graphics options are good too. Basically a multiaesthetic game, pays homage to all the titles of this series, a nostalgic hit every once in a while. Controls were also pretty good, multiplayer support is excellent too. Stuff keeps happening keeping things engaging in the game.”
    • “I'm so glad I got this, paid for the extra content too. I love this, it's easy to pick up and play, there's so much replay value, even if you're a beginner or expert. Can't wait to keep replaying this, I have no complaints thus far.”
    • “The game has tons of replayability and unlockable content.”
    • “Very good port. I loved this as a kid, but instead of just porting and adding DLC, you could have given it more replayability by adding more unlockables like pictures or costumes to add something new.”
    • “Characters have different skill sets, giving at least some replayability. However, it becomes rather difficult from chapter 4 onwards, and some stages favor certain characters.”
    • “It's a classic, short, beat-'em-up side scroller with some replayability.”
  • monetization
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
