- “Really well ported on mobile but the movement mechanics are very sloppy; having a joystick instead of a d-pad seems better.”
- “Pretty solid game with arcade-style gameplay which I love, but nothing like Streets of Rage 4. The game is just trying so hard to capture the arcade feeling that it feels very cheap and annoying in some parts. Back then, arcade games were unfair and required players to play for many months to even remember every stage, and before that, players mostly had to use lots of coins to reach that level of knowledge. It was a cheap way to lure money out of people, but why does this game also have cheap levels?”
- “Aside from the control scheme making the more hectic gameplay awkward, this is the same primetime brawler as its other releases.”
