So, the Streets of Rage 4 team thinks they've cracked the code for a "fresh" take on beat-em-ups with their new fantasy roguelike? Please!

I remember the days when beat-em-ups had soul, when every punch felt satisfying, not just a flashy combo string designed to dazzle us. Don’t give me yet another run of the mill game that wants to be a “genre reviver” without actually adding anything meaningful.
