I can't wait. I love the beat 'em up genre and really miss these types of games.

Is this going to be available for game pass on the 30th? If so for pc and xbox game pass?

I cancelled my pre order as I read it comes to game pass.

So, um, I love how this looks and I'm a sucker for these hand-drawn games. But I didn't actually play beat-em-ups as a kid, and is this ok for someone who is totally new to this? I mean, does this require some insane reflexes and impossible timing of iframes - or is it something someone can just pick up and play?

Thanks.

In my experience, at least on normal settings, its very pick up and play.

Like I was playing the normal Streets of Rage and getting far (damn the no save system!) when I was like 5 years old lol. You'll be fine.

Beat Em Ups, while sometimes pretty challenging, are more about crowd control and sometimes resource management than mechanical execution and strict timing.

Because SoR was a console game it wasn't designed so much to be a way to get as many coins of people at the arcades so I always found it to be a more fair and fun beat-em-up compared to others. I imagine this will be similar?

Great, thanks! Now just to decide between Switch and PS4 :)

I think the story mode alone makes it easier to jump into than most beat em ups.

For the midnight local time release for PS4, does that mean midnight EST & 9PM PST or just midnight everywhere?

Great work on the OT. I'm planning on trying this after work tomorrow via GamePass. I listened to a few tracks from the OST and they sound so good.

Normal. There is a very hard type of enemy in the second stage (or I'm doing something wrong).

Once you lose all lifes, game over and start the level again.

i'll actually say this. i think stage 2 is harder than the next two of the following stages!

is it the shield enemies? you can hit them with a combo or two until their shield breaks
