Basically everything Streets of Rage 4 should have been... kind of pathetic honestly that they put such a huge budget on such a pile of garbage but there it is... keep it simple, that's all you had to do.

It has a banging sound track (200% better than the garbage they put in SOR4) takes you back to the 90's for sure... it's a vibe. The game play is incredibly simple, there's nothing cheap about the mechanics like boss armor. It's just good old fashioned recovery attacks and i-frames when bosses do their specials but other than that, standard solutions to old school mechanics.

The game is just the right length for the demand of the achievements. Beating the game on Ultra is daunting, you have 1 life and there are no extra hidden lives in the stages on this mode so it's kind of nuts... but it is what it is, demands perfection, just like an old school game would.

The game isn't perfect, the graphics / art design is kind of hit and miss... some of it looks good, some of it doesn't... just depends on which attacks you're using. The game is rather short and there's not a lot of combo potential but it's still fun.

The game seems kind of buggy because none of the characters ground attacks work. The animation plays but your character does zero damage, so it's a pointless mechanic to bother with... also the enemies don't seem to stay on the ground long enough for it to even matter anyway, so it kind of balances itself out any way.

Solid 7.5 / 10... there's a lot of potential here. Definitely worth checking out if you're in to old school 80's and 90's arcade beat 'em ups. Final Vendetta is definitely better quality than a lot of indie clones on Steam.

Grab it on sale for sure.

Brief but enjoyable Beat Em Up.
Done in the style of classic games like Streets of Rage, Final Fight and Double Dragon there is a lot to like about this title. While it doesn't bring anything new to the genre, that doesn't stop it being a great deal of fun.
