Speaking of scores, you'll still want to break every object you encounter along the way, in the off chance someone stashed a briefcase full of cash in that garbage can. There's also countering and flow to combat with a strong focus on the combo meter to maximize score.
Special moves, while they still drain health, allow you to recover by comboing enemies instead of permanently losing it to quarters. In terms of how the game plays while it shares a lot with common beat em' ups from the era, there are some nice new touches to combat. This is seriously one of the best videogame soundtracks in years. But it's the music that really stands out with its dynamic tunes that rise and fall based on the level's action and theme. The use of modern lighting techniques adds a sense of style that was only faked in previous games, real reflections of neon lights and the scattering of color through stained glass are eye popping. The environments are complex and detailed, with multiple layers giving a sense of depth and scale. The hand drawn style of the characters feel like the natural progression from their pixelated past. Streets of Rage 4 looks absolutely gorgeous. And yes, there's still that dang guy that charges at you with knife. Some retain the attack patterns of their predecessors, while others bring a new spin to boss fights. Along the way you'll find many familiar faces and derivatives of enemies of the past like Bongo, Electra, the various Signals, and others.
You'll be taking on the Y gang who are intent on taking over the city with mind controlling audio. Streets of Rage 4 takes place 10 years after the events of the 3rd game, reuniting many of our favorite characters including Axel and Blaze (SoR 1, 2, and 3), Adam (SoR 1) and newcomers Cherry and Floyd.

It's a familiar scene for gamers who grew up in the 90s - an almost identical aesthetic to the SEGA Streets of Ragetitles - but this time - it's on modern systems with slick hand drawn visuals, high definition graphics, and similar addictive music. Soon the screen is filled with a gang intent on being served justice.with your fists. From off screen strolls a a gruff man with long blond hair and an ere of anger in his stride. The synths kick in as the neon lights reflect off the city streets, slowly the drums add to the atmosphere.
