Streets of Rage 4 Game Reviews

Almost perfect mobile port of a great game.. First the positive stuff. So I have SoR4 on Switch and this game looks better on my iPhone 14, the graphics are amazing when you crank up all the video options so kudos for that. My main gripes come from this game not having haptic feedback for touchscreen controls this would be a huge upgrade for as I don’t feel touch controls are as responsive as using a controller but haptics would definitely help that. Also needs a way to save your progress during a stage like save states as gaming on mobile is easily interrupted and then you have to start the whole level again…. And maybe a feature of holding down the attack button lets you do the combo without having to tap the same button over and over again. If these features get added then it’s 5 stars for me.

Almost Perfect. I have the PC version which is modeled off of the consoles. One function mechanic that I wish would work is when you choose the air master perk in survival. In this version It does not allow you to jump after your combos or moves rendering the perk absolutely useless. That’s the biggest bug that I’ve noticed so far

A very faithful adaptation, with modern improvements. I love the modern art and music attached to the classic game. The modern characters have more moves than I can really process, but they are great. I do really wish Roo were a playable character, I loved him most.

Don’t know how to run. I’ve used touch and now I’m using the backbone one controller but I can’t figure out how to run. Is that not a feature or is it character based?

Too Cheap. I have platinum the game on PS4 & Xbox Series X. I have played over 1000 hours & become just done with the game. It’s too cheap in version 8 & survival is very limited right now with how once you even get to level 35 then it’s just gold weapons & stars, no more perks. I dislike what they did to Skate 3’s ground roll, the nerfed the heck out of it. They need to make blood thirst pop up in more runs because sometimes it just does not pop up, actually most runs now in V8. Also, Axel needs more protection & increased damage & needs to be sped up he’s too slow even still, enemies are too cheap. They need to not design the game in a way that forces you to play with a second player just to have a good run in survival. Sometimes you just wanna play by yourself. The cheapness of the enemies is what is holding this game back from being the most talked about game and not just with the community of players who we all played the original 3 games. This is the final update so I guess they will not be addressing any other issues. Sad state the game is left in.

Love the series’s. The game is amazing but the only problem I have is the pause button I click and it doesn’t do something sometimes

The new update messed game up. I can’t access none of Shiva’s extra moves … this is bull jive mane… I don’t like no one but Shiva

New issue. After the recent update with online play, I noticed that the graphic to choose unlocked moves is gone. You can still choose and select them if you move the joy stick around on a controller but the graphic is gone so if you don’t have a controller there is no way to see or select unlocked moves. Game is awesome though

This is a second review. This is a second review they music I love it that was the last one

Love this port. Perfect port with tons of replayability. Everything I was hoping for from it. Only issue I’m having is unlocking Roo- I play with touch controls so can’t execute the hot keys in the menu- any help would be appreciated!

Backbone Controller. 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

Outstanding homage. 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.

Ultimate Quality. Awesome game. • can use DualShock controller and connect to TV for this. •online • wish can use arcade extra maps, but works just fine.

Three TIMES I’ve bought this game. I can’t stop supporting this game. It’s amazing. Best game I’ve played from that year. I play it with my wife and daughter. I have it on Switch. I have it on PS4. I’ve not picked up this BEAUTIFUL port on iOS. With a Backbone controller, this game is perfect. I don’t know how to continue to send the team the message that the fans want more of this, but I’m not subtle. This game is incredible enough for me to buy THRICE. So absolutely, YOU should buy it at least once. Excellent game.

Make it for Mac!. This game is great but the forthcoming TMNT is incredible! Do as all a favor and port this and TMNT over to the Mac as well! Please! I really want to see these great games across all of Apple’s devices! Also, keep up the amazing work! I’ll buy anything you make at this point!

Tip on installing. If you’re having problems launching the game make sure you’re iOS version is most recent or else it won’t load. This needs to be emphasized by the developers.

Way Past Cool!. Character designs look cool. Also it’s not impossible to play like the first 3 games. Plays easier with a controller though, so I still recommend the console version more. However playing this on your phone and on the go is still enjoyable. Thanks for bringing Adam back! The original 3 characters are the best.

The Best Game of all time. I’ve been playing Streetsofrage since I was a kid and beat part 1,2,&3 This is hands down the Best Game I’ve ever played in my life! It’s 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

Very Good!!. So happy to be playing this on my phone. Did NOT expect it to come to mobile but very thankful that it did because I love Streets of Rage. Looks great and play great as well! Looking forward to the update and when battle mode is available will there be a option to battle AI??

Gold Standard of Mobile Gaming. 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.

Almost perfect. Core game itself is amazing and fun. The only problems this port has are some gameplay bugs that aren’t present in console versions - for example Survival mode with SoR4 Shiva: a lot of bonuses don’t work for him since he can’t pickup weapons, and in the console versions those bonuses become a random perk instead, but instead those bonuses stay the same and don’t do anything for him. Another example is the double jump bonus. In the console ports you can jump, attack, and jump-cancel to do the double jump and attack again. Not so with this mobile port. Also, because the UI itself takes up a lot of space to accommodate on-screen touch controls, it becomes very hard to see enemies in certain areas. If there was a way to adjust opacity and support keyboard controls, that would be FANTASTIC. Apart from porting bugs, this game is AMAZING, and congrats to the team for porting it over to mobile devices.

Brilliance in all aspects of nostalgia.. This game is straight crack!! The playability of every character and the updated attacks that each character has is amazing. This is the best purchase ever made

Great game! Great port.. Absolutely amazing. I hope that Dotemu & Playdigious keep this partnership up. I Wonder Boy: Dragon Trap is great so is this. I hope to see Windjammers 2 & TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge make it also to IOS, I would buy them for sure.

The game is good but…. The game is good. The graphics have been updated, the combos are smooth and it works great with the Razor Kishi controller. The fact that the game just released and it already has purchasable DLC is an issue in my opinion. It’s obvious this content was originally made with the game because of the unattainable characters in the selection screen. This is a practice that must stop in my opinion with modern game designers. Sell incomplete products is not only not fair but it makes your customers feel cheated. Bad form in my opinion.

Streets Of Rage 4 review. Streets of rage is one of my all time favorite game and the fact it’s just as smooth and my iPhone as if I am playing on a game console is fantastic! More please!!

still playing it. after a year on purchasing this game, I’m still playing it love it

Decent. Great mobile game with style and action surpassing SOR 2. Soundtrack is awesome! A gripe I have with this iteration is the game not picking up my character at the end of some areas when “go” point is reached (first lvl subway cart and Y island staircase are examples) I end up rage quitting and after cooling down I try it again sometimes successful sometimes not. Compared to SOR 2, the touch controls seem more difficult. Any game sequel adds more controls so with this game I found it difficult in training to complete the tasks. I ended up “button mashing” out of frustration. Learning curb aside, this is still a great game.

Missing controller supported co-op. Perfect game with the controller, never used the screen controls really. Would love the game more if I could have co op when I add another controller. Just feels weird that I have to grind more on the PC copy I have if I want a friend to fully enjoy all the unlockables.

Best beat em up game for mobile. This game is such a huge step up from other beat em up games on mobile and I really enjoy it, I hope that once I beat it, I could get the Mr. x nightmare DLC!

Great soundtrack for a great game. DotEmu really knocked it out of the park with this one. Everything from the art style, to the gameplay and even the soundtrack are excellent. Hopefully we can get them to make streets of rage 5 or more content for 4.

Love it. Absolutely gorgeous art work and very smooth gameplay. I haven’t played a Streets Of Rage title since the 90s and this is by far the best nostalgic feeling I greatly appreciate

So Thankful!. I am so happy that SOR4 is on iOS. These type of games are so well suited for handheld gaming. Haven’t had any game play issues. Although worthy of 5 stars now, there are still music syncing issues, music inconsistencies and transitions between rooms and inner stage levels are choppy. All minor is at the moment. I hope this game receives regular updates for awhile to continue to improve the user and gaming experience.

Max’s powerslide is Overpowered. Game looks smooths, Plays smooth. Just overall great experience. Huge amount of depth if you want to get to S rank.

Amazing. One of my all time favorites made even better with the Mr. X DLC and yes Roo is unlockable if you use a wireless controller. Great for when you want to play on the go.

Alternative move glitch but still amazing.. Love this game. Been playing nonstop since I bought it. Even without a controller it’s incredible. There is a glitch with latest update. Alt moves are no longer available. I see someone else said you can select with s controller. I assume you’re aware and will fix.

A classic remaster. This game brings back so many memories. Don’t think about getting it, just go get it!

Almost Perfect. I’m a huge fan of the console release. It’s a faithful port. The on-screen buttons work better than I’d anticipated. That said, I recommend playing with a controller. The screen can get very full in later stages and higher difficulty settings. The game will crash if you reply to a text. Locking your phone while in-app, you’re fine. Leave the app, it’s very likely to crash. Very annoying.

Love the game but…. After the multiplayer patch came out the game became a little buggy and won’t let me choose their alternate special attacks. I had all of them unlocked for the achievement. I can rate it 5 stars once it gets updated because I love streets of rage. You guys should see if you can make Streets of Rage 5, and just make sure you add Adult Skate, Roo, and Ash.

Please add option to change border. Great game! Please allow the borders on the left and right to be turned to black so it looks better on OLED!

Multiplayer. Honestly this game is fantastic.. but it needs a online co-op multiplayer, I played the console version and oh my god could not stop playing it. I hope the multiplayer function comes out soon I know it might take time but hopefully not to much time.

The Game Won’t Start Anymore. About a month ago the game was working fine. Now when I open the app it just freezes on the title screen before you get to the menu screen.

Amazing game for my son and I!!!. Grew up playing these classics and this new one is perfect! Fells like the old one but much newer and fresher without losing that charm that made the older ones insanely fun!! 10/10

Game is awesome, support for it not so much.. No complaints about the game, it’s great. Support for this game is borderline awful. Anytime an update rolls out, game won’t even start up. How does that happen? Are these updates even tested?

GOTY. Own this game on console and was excited to give it a go on mobile…still perfect, and plays like a dream on/justifies owning a Backbone

BEST GAME IN APP STORE. This is EASILY one of… if not the best action game in the App Store. The amount of content is crazy. Moves and special moves upgrade as you complete certain modes. And there are so many characters.

Not Loading. Great game but it no longer loads. Stuck on the opening screen.

Cool game. They could add more levels blend in the old levels that would make it more interesting

Nostalgia experts. Thank you dearly for bringing me back a little piece of my childhood! You didn’t just remake it you continued a very loved and missed saga ! Much alohas

Difficulty feels cheap!. In less than an hour of play time I’ve already requested a refund. The game doesn’t feel fun. I played on normal and the difficulty spikes too much. Especially in a room full enemies with weapons. Cheap tricks like getting hit from enemies that’s not in in you line of sight. You get hit from so many directions at once. It seems the developers tried to make it a strategy game when you just want beat ‘em up game. I’ll pass.

Great till it wasn’t.. Throughly enjoyed this game until it stopped working after the last update. Not sure why. I deleted and reinstalled, and it still will not work. It’s been several weeks and it still doesn’t work.

The best Beat ‘em up ever. I love Streets of rage 4 iv absolutely loved the whole franchise since the beginning a 10 out of 10 from me I can’t find Roo on iOS but all good. Ps I can’t wait for number 5 I just hope it has that same nostalgic feel to it.

Fantastic game, looking forward to coop. This is an excellent port of Streets of Rage 4, running on iPad Pro 12.9 M1. I am really looking forward to pairing two controllers to play coop coming out soon. Please do not forget to include separate controller schemes for player 1 and player 2 because I have a playstation and 8bitdo controllers ;) Thank you Playdigious for making this port.

For the best game:). Omg this game is so good. And even better with Mr X. Nightmare and the three other characters. I even have it on my ps4 and it has plus version too

Terrible controls. Controls on the iPhone are slow and unresponsive. Its possibilities that this could be a fun game with a controller but on the iphone it’s almost unplayable due to the poor controls. No run function too which is weird. The game plays really slow and sluggish and the lack of a run, block or even a dash move means you often find yourself in a position where you cannot help but take damage from enemy attacks. Feels like the game hasn't been refined or finished well and lacks polish.

Amazing!. This classic is back! Amazingly done! It’s worth every cent. Thank you and keep your excellent work! PS. Play it with a controller … great experience!

Awesome game, but really hard to play.. Love the graphics and all, bought the DLC as well, but damn Normal is kicking my rear, either I move too slow and randomly get knocked out and loose half my health or just the boss’s move (especially Shiva) is ridiculous and cannot be avoided. Maybe I’m just bad at playing, hopefully there’s some balance to it later.

Great game but where’s the local co-op?. Thanks for the online multiplayer update! but I’m keen to see local co-op for the iPad so kids can play side by side during family holidays…and I can get in the action too!

Amazing!. I recommend this game 100%! The graphics and the game itself runs very smoothly and is a great game if you like levels. The price for the game is perfect and worth it!

Reminiscence great of childhood gaming experiences.. Used to love this series on the Sega Genesis. This brings me way back!

Perfect port of an amazing game lol. The best beat them up game ever made perfectly ported to iOS. We need more awesome premium games like this. Love it!

It has controller support!!!. Perfect port of the game plus it has DLC! Now I gotta see if it allows online multiplayer. So far so good!

Cant be played. I am using iPhone 14 Pro Max. After loading 100%, then just a blank screen…nothing at all. Its not a free game so please fix it asap.

Apple TV version!. This port is amazing, but like so many high quality ports why is there no Apple TV version?

Game stuck on empty blue background. After the initial loading to 100%, I only see an empty blue background

Fantastic. Plays great but even better with backbone controller 🥰

Best beat em up ever!. Playing this game since first day of release on pc, replay-ability of this game is insane, spent countless hours in coop and single. As close to ideal fight mechanics as possible. And devs are still making updates after couple of years

Excellent! But missing local multiplayer 1 or Multiple devices. Great, but it would be better if you could plug in multiple wireless Bluetooth controllers on one device or play with another buddy with an iOS device (iPhone/iPad) locally other than just online only. Other than that, almost perfect! 9/10

Good Port. Devs did a good job with this one.

Hooked on to this game. I played streets of rage 2 and 3 in the 90s and was in love with the game. Thrilled to see part 4 back tributes all the older versions. Ability to upgrade character moves and unlock characters and weapons as you play keeps you hooked.

Local Coop. Il est ridicule que ce jeu ne supporte pas le local multi joueur. Ce jeu nécessite clairement cette fonctionnalité (deux joueurs, deux manettes, un seul appareil). 5 étoiles lorsque ce sera le cas.

Best phone game. I had this on ps5. I it’s surprisingly smooth for an iPhone game. Too fun

Cool game. They could add more levels blend in the old levels that would make it more interesting

Apple TV support is a must!!!. The game is great but I need you guys to get it together for the upcoming multiplayer update with a Apple TV release / once’s both of those are done the rating is back to its true five star rating

Dope game. I got this game on the ps4 and the virtual and hard copy the App Store needs to do more of this

Addicting!. Really fun, please add a couple more characters

Amazing game!. Love this game and the nostalgia from the version 1 to 4 they are all amazing and entertaining.

Excellent. Great classic beat them up action game

Sub moves missing. sub moves options are missing when selecting a character. Please please fix.

Speechless. The npc’s 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

Addictive Game. I just love keep playing story mode.

Background audio. With an update to allow background audio this will be PERFECT

The controls are awful. Because the controls are so wonky, combos become an effort of consistent button mashing. It’s extremely frustrating

Love the game no online co op... How they give us update for better controls and online co op..

5 star mobile game , bespoke yet retro. This title is a 5 star title , you will not be disappointed .

A solid classic!. Looks and plays great, getting 60FPS no issues with ultra settings

Crashing. How do I stop app from resetting. When I pause the game and change apps it sometimes goes back to title screen. How can I stop losing my game progress?

GOTY. Own this game on console and was excited to give it a go on mobile…still perfect, and plays like a dream on/justifies owning a Backbone

Yes. Been loving streets of rage and I had no idea it was coming to mobile

awesome awesome game!. This game is the best I played for 12 hours straight I hope eventually adult Skate will be added

A classic remaster. This game brings back so many memories. Don’t think about getting it, just go get it!

Game Won’t Load. I recently purchased this game and it’s not working. I tried loading it and reinstalling it, but it continues to be a blank screen. I really wanted to play it but now I just want my money back.

Please add option to change border. Great game! Please allow the borders on the left and right to be turned to black so it looks better on OLED!

Not Loading. Great game but it no longer loads. Stuck on the opening screen.

Help. I bought this and also the DLC, then one day I got a black skin every time I open this game, even uninstall and reinstall cannot help. This game has not been updated for 2 years. I understand you guys will not add more content, but at least make this game work on iPhone…

Gold Standard of Mobile Gaming. 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.

Wonderful. Finally on IOS

We are so back. I put that on ra

Amazing!. Game runs like butter on my iPad. This game is my childhood but in the future. Absolutely love it!

This is a second review. This is a second review they music I love it that was the last one

Game keeps crashing. Would love to play this game looks fire but keeps crashing on startup

Amazing. One of my all time favorites made even better with the Mr. X DLC and yes Roo is unlockable if you use a wireless controller. Great for when you want to play on the go.

The new update messed game up. I can’t access none of Shiva’s extra moves … this is bull jive mane… I don’t like no one but Shiva

Back to the basics!. 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.

Great games. Keep them coming , I miss the beat them up mash button games like the turtles arcade , streets of rage types.

Streets Of Rage 4 review. Streets of rage is one of my all time favorite game and the fact it’s just as smooth and my iPhone as if I am playing on a game console is fantastic! More please!!

Nostalgia experts. Thank you dearly for bringing me back a little piece of my childhood! You didn’t just remake it you continued a very loved and missed saga ! Much alohas

Don’t know how to run. I’ve used touch and now I’m using the backbone one controller but I can’t figure out how to run. Is that not a feature or is it character based?

Unlock the new character. I have problem with Roo

Backbone Controller. 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

Bought the game & DLC, for…. supporting the great dev team and company. Pls never stop updating to make this game better and better.

Outstanding homage. 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.

Max’s powerslide is Overpowered. Game looks smooths, Plays smooth. Just overall great experience. Huge amount of depth if you want to get to S rank.

A great sequel for the legendary beat em up series. Apart from the many nostalgic bits that this game has to offer, the inclusion of the Mr. X nightmare DLC is the topping on the cake to keep me coming back for more.

Love it. Absolutely gorgeous art work and very smooth gameplay. I haven’t played a Streets Of Rage title since the 90s and this is by far the best nostalgic feeling I greatly appreciate

Nostalgia driven beat down fun.. If you liked the old SEGA games then you are in for a treat. Good job. Classic gameplay with a very nice face lift.

Unlocked moves gone!. The unlocked moves have disappeared in this new update. Please fix it asap!

Epic & Entertaining. This game never gets old. It’s a modern twist on a blast from the past.

I great game I love it I have on Nintendo switch too. Buy it you won’t regret it ..

This game is a fun action-packed brawler. It’s so much fun and I love action games and it’s has a best combat in this game

One of the greatest games!. I own this game for PC as well as mobile. Excellent gameplay loop, art and music. It really scratches the nostalgia itch!
