Best thing to happen to side-scrolling beat em ups in all their history. There is a resurgence of this genre today, in 2025, though mostly due to TMNT Shredder's Revenge success, which tried to create THIS game BUT make it 1 button... TMNT one is simple, SOR4 is COMPLEX. This one is a real deal VIDEO GAME from the 90`s but with modern game design decisions.
It has everything you need for a great beat em up - music, style, symbiotic system mechanics and a lot of gameplay depth. What you see is what you get, and I hope to SEE more games with the same mentality in the future.

Please sell the soundtrack

Absolutely brilliant retro game recreation. I totally love thus game.
