The verdict

A beautifully drawn, tight-feeling modern beat 'em up that honors the originals, best in co-op and short. Skip it if you want fast movement, dodge/run for everyone, or a long game.

Great for

Beat 'em up and Streets of Rage fans, and friends wanting couch co-op

Main risk

Slow walking, armored cheap enemies and a brutal final stage, in a short game

What players complain about

Slow movement, no run or dodge for most

Mentioned in ~1 in 3 negative reviews

“ONE character having a sprint from the start. Just one. Which makes the other characters feel slow and lumbering while enemies can move faster walking backwards than you can walking forward.”
