You get 3 new characters: Estel who specializes in delayed-reaction moves. Max who's a heavy focused more with flinging himself at the enemies compared to Floyd who brings the enemies to him. And Shiva who's a teleporting ninja with heavy-commitment moves that are devastating done well or can leave you wide open if you're sloppy. Also Shiva auto-throws any weapon you try to pick up. Survival mode is a roguelite mode that has you fighting a series of brawls in one-and-a-half-screen-wide arenas with random enemy and hazard placement. After each room you can pick one random perk that adds things like elemental bursts to your special moves or spawning an ally punk to fight alongside you, etc. Some of the arena rooms are memorable locations from the 16-bit games populated by 16-bit enemies with their original sprites, including many who didn't make it into vanilla SoR4. The score you get in survival mode fills up an experience bar for the specific character you used that unlocks new moves for them. These are REPLACEMENT moves that you choose in the character selection screen in all game modes. They have different movement and juggle characteristics but don't seem superior to the base game's moveset. I haven't seen Roo as a playable character yet, but there IS a suspicious gap in the SoR3 character list in the survival mode XP unlock screen, and Bruce/Danch the whip clown is an enemy that appears in survival mode. |

Streets of Rage 4 first impressions by 04/30/2020, 10:33am PDT  My 2 fav things about this franchise: music and art style. I will now click by 04/30/2020, 12:00pm PDT Actually... turning on Bloom makes a HUGE improvement with these GFX. NT by 04/30/2020, 1:39pm PDT For the record, the music and gfx both grew on me over time. NT by 04/17/2021, 8:09am PDT Consensus so far is, bad first impression, then really REALLY grows on you.
