Finished
Streets of Rage 4 (on Switch)
I had a lot of hesitation before buying the game ... would it plays like the olders one ? As fun ?
And ... yes, the dev's made a good job replicating the old gameplay.
Basically is the same old SOR formula with better design.
Enjoyed my time, finished with Axel, and reding it with Adam, sometimes the new one and sometimes the SOR 1 character.
The game is not that hard (in normal mode) because how it plays : when you start a level, you have 2 lives to begin with (can gain more with scoring), and when you finished it even with no lives rest, the next level starts again with 2 lives. It's a clever idea !
Of course there is the Arcade mode, with 1 credit.
The only negative side (call me grumpy old school gamer) is the graphic, even super nice, I miss the old pixels ...
And the music, it's not as good as the olders ones, on my second time I'm playing only with the old school music (a great idea : a mix of Game Gear and Megadrive/Gensisi tunes).
It's a solid game very fun, even better on sale !
