DLC description:

The fight continues in Wood Oak City.

After the events of Streets of Rage 4, our heroes wanted to prepare themselves for future threats. Axel, Blaze and their mates will start a very special deranged training with the help of Dr. Zan, who built an AI program from the remnants of Mister X’s brain that simulates every kind of danger they could be facing.

With this new DLC, get ready for:

• 3 new playable characters
• A new Survival mode with weekly challenges
• Character customization: build your own fighting style with new moves
• New weapons and enemies!


Edit - more info:

How does the Survival Mode work?

Well, each time you complete a level in the Survival Mode, you can choose between two random perks. These perks grant stackable bonuses to boost your fighter in a unique and powerful way (of course those expire once you are defeated).

Furthermore, as you bravely fight through the many assaults in the Survival mode, you will permanently unlock new moves to use in any mode in Streets of Rage 4. Once unlocked, this will allow you to customize the movelists of your favorite characters any way you want. In addition to the new moves, in this new mode, you can also unlock devastating new weapons to use in both training and survival mode, as well as new gallery content.

There is also a Survival Mode leaderboard that allows you to keep an eye on all the community's fights...
So who among you will be the best fighter in Wood Oak City?

Mr. X Nightmare DLC will include:

• Estel Aguirre, Max Thunder and Shiva
• Survival mode
• New moves and weapons
• New tracks by Tee Lopes

DLC will come along with a free update including:

• Difficulty level: Mania +
• In-depth training mode with tutorial
• New color palettes per character
• Refinements and balancing changes addressing feedback from Streets of Rage 4’s passionate community

While I'm slightly disappointed at the lack of a new mini-campaign/story mode, what's announced looks like fun, and the $7.99 price tag seems about right. I remember the Mega CD port of Final Fight had a similar kind of arena mode, as did Guardian Heroes (which got really hectic).

Hmm, I wonder if the new moves are for the campaign, or only for the survival mode?

 

[DarkMage619]

That is awesome it's on Game pass day one. I was surprised it launched on Game pass. It's been there for years now. Good stuff.

 

[Fake]

Wish they rework how special moves are used. This Bloodborne way of regain the health you lose don't suit the game well. I prefer the SoR3 method.

 

[Renoir]

cant wait to go back.. nice price too. Definelty coping this.

 

[Punished Miku]

That price is crazy good for the content shown.

Day one on Switch. See you guys online for Mania+ Arcade runs.

Is the DLC literally on Gamepass too? That's sick. Guess I can play on both systems.

Weird tweet then. But yeah, makes sense. I was a little surprised they worded it like that.

Oh well, I have the game on Switch already.

Yeah, the original tweet was badly worded.

I have Game pass, so I downloaded it and played it. Then I bought it on the Switch, so I could play it on the Switch too haha

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

kind of a downer that there's no new stages.

Any chance this is just one of multiple dlcs?

 

[SSfox]

This DLC is so neat man, it even exceed my excpectations, you can unlock moves for characters OMG endless ways to play the already dope ass characters.

Spoiler

And you can literraly give Axel now a Shoryuken!!!

 

[SALMORE]

there day one on the switch !

 

[GrayFoxPL]

They are scamming so much on this game.

You can say that on most games but man...

 

[Salz01]

I feel stupid. I thought there was story dlc, and kept trying to figure out how to start it. Took me awhile, and only after looking through forums and rereading the ot‘s several times to figure out it’s just the survival mode.

 

[MasterDerico]

I refuse to believe on the majority of posts on this thread...

 

[Belmonte]

Outstanding DLC! And I'm glad they did a good price for my region, Brazil, also.

I was curious how they would balance the action part with the status fest which are roguelite games. Most games in the genre give so much importance to the rogue elements that the action part starts to be irrelevant the more you advance in the levels. Here, being good and aware of the space is always relevant!

Like to play as Shiva and Estel a lot! They really add to the experience. Max is cool but usually I'm not big into grapplers.

there day one on the switch !

It's actually not available for the Switch yet, DotEmu is working on that

Every day I get home and check the store I relive the disappointment like its the first time.

 

[saintjules]

Waiting for someone to say, "will wait for a sale".

 

[Business]

Didn’t they show new stages on the trailers? Or is it another DLC?

 

[IbizaPocholo]

Streets of Rage 4 just got a brand new survival mode along with three new characters in its Mr. X Nightmare DLC pack. Check out 19 minutes of survival mode gameplay using Shiva, one of those 3 new characters.

 

[YCoCg]

Does Tee Lopes just snort crushed up SEGA consoles or something, the new music here is banging and feels even closer to the og's.

 

[PhoenixTank]

Waited until it was for sale then immediately bought it.

Good shit and really generously priced IMHO.

You might be thinking about the survival mode backgrounds

 

[lame gag1990]

Having played with this yesterday, it's pretty underwhelming. A survival mode, terrible alt colour palettes and three playable characters that are already in the game. This should be free in my opinion.

 

[YCoCg]

Roo (& Brucie via assist) from SOR3 have also been added into this update as secret character!

I saw Roo's concept art in the survival mode art gallery, and was wondering about that! This is great!

 

[SALMORE]

there will be an anniversary physical version of the game with all the dlc

 

[PleaseDontBanMe]

the only way to play this game is with the Retro filter turned on

otherwise it looks like a cheap Flash game from the early 2000s

Retro filter fixes that

 

[Fuz]

I didn't like the game at first, but I wanted to give it another chance after seeing the DLC was out (man, Shiva's design is AWESOME - the ret of the cast is good too, I'd really like a 1v1 fighting game with this cast).
Goddammit this game is good. Like, really good. Plays really smooth and has really cool game modes. Final boss is a huge letdown, though.
I still don't like the style of animation (the classic stretched/morphed reminishing of flash that we see way too often), though.

 

[ShinobiWan1]

Obligatory pic

 

[ShinobiWan1]

I'm really rusty, but Roo is pretty cool for the combos!

 

[Klart]

Still nothing on Switch. Get your act together, Ninty.

 

[TheWanderingOgre]

Whaa... I didnt know Roo was there too!
Have to unlock it.
Thanks for the tip, guys.

 

[SSfox]

Damn just got disconnect right after we beat level 29, HHHHHHHHHHHHH

 

[ShinobiWan1]

Skate has a new roll move, it kind of breaks the game haha

Damn just got disconnect right after we beat level 29, HHHHHHHHHHHHH

Noooooo!

 

[ShinobiWan1]

Just a heads up, it's on the Switch now!
