\"\"<\/a>I loved Streets of Rage 4<\/strong><\/a> when it came out last year.\u00a0 I enjoyed it so much that it won my \u201cBest Arcade Classic Remake\u201d award in my 2020 Game of the Year blog.\u00a0 So I was happy to find out they had some DLC for it, and even more excited that I got to review it!\u00a0 This Mr. X Nightmare DLC adds new characters, modes, and other features to this 2-D side scrolling beat \u2018em up, and it\u2019s available on most current consoles, but reviewed on PS4 here.<\/p>\n

The biggest new addition to this DLC are three extra playable characters.\u00a0 You can now play as three of the game\u2019s bosses: Estel Aguirre, Max Thunder, and Shiva.\u00a0 I\u2019m especially glad for Estel because she was one of my favorite characters in the game.\u00a0 She\u2019s a strong and tough police officer, and even though you fight her twice, at the end of the game she realizes you\u2019re the good guys and helps you out.\u00a0 The only disappointment with these new characters is that they did not change the story sections with the new characters.\u00a0 When you fight Estel as Estel, you just battle a glowing version of her.\u00a0 They also added a new Survival Mode where you try to last as long as you can against waves of enemies.\u00a0 There are also new moves, new weapons, new music, leaderboards, and more.\u00a0 While I think they could\u2019ve done more with the new characters\u2019 stories and maybe released the DLC much sooner, it\u2019s only 8 bucks so I think it\u2019s still worth it if you really like the game.<\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Streets of Rage 4 is rated T for Teen with ESRB descriptors of Cartoon Violence, Mild Language, and Mild Suggestive Themes.\u00a0 You do punch and kick all manner of bad guys, thugs, and even corrupt police officers, but there is no blood and the characters look like cartoons anyway.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t really notice any bad language, and the suggestive themes come from some of the skimpy outfits the female characters wear.\u00a0 I played games like this all the time as a kid and teen, and I turned out OK.\u00a0 Two player co-op makes it a great game to play with someone in your family as well, either couch co-op or online.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
