Streets of Fury EX

They won't believe me when I tell em this French brawler is deep it truly carries the torch of the golden era of gaming I came in expecting a parody and found a masterpiece instead This style of game direction didn't get enough time to express itself, things were progressing so quickly in the late 90's we blew right past an incredible process these devs have matched this live capture aesthetic with some great coding and made some very unique movesets to explore, the local co-op and tag battle experience has been an absolute joy. If you have been getting nostalgia baited by behind-the-scenes game dev videos about Mortal Kombat and other 90's live action capture sprite games, this is the title for you. I envy these guys for immortalizing themselves in this cool way, I wish my game dev friends at that age had gotten their ducks in a row enough for a project like this. Highly recommended, thanks for reading!

A really interesting and somewhat simplified beat em up; there are only three planes to walk on instead of having total freedom of movement, and because of this it turns into more of a rhythm game than anything else. The presentation is pretty hilarious, with the photographs of real people in silly costumes giving the game a distinct and fun personality. There's a good amount of content between the amount of characters you can play as and the story/ survival mode, which is nice. This is the same studio that went on to make Streets of Rage 4, and while I do think that game is better, this one shows that they have been a force to be reckoned with since the beginning.

this is a real laugh!

What you guys achieved with Street Fighter 4 and Absolum is incredible! Thank you for those games. This one though.. I'm sure you had a lot of fun making it. Playing it was fun for ~10 minutes. The initial charm of quirky visuals wears off rather quickly.

Game crashes consistently, game is unplayable

actually massive respect for putting out an update 10 years later
