What is known

IGN YouTube channel posted 7 minutes of gamingprocess Streets of Rage 4. The video showed how Axel and the new heroine of the series, Cherie, distribute cuffs to street thugs. Among the opponents, fat men, guys with Iroquois and punks with a machete, who were classic for the franchise, “lit up”. At the end of the heroes, the boss was waiting.

The first frames of Streets of Rage 4 give hope forworthy return of the series. Despite the change in the visual style, the animations are smooth, the enemies do not blunt and behave aggressively, and the series chips, like bonuses at the levels, remain.
