The successful return of a classic. The new installment of one of the most successful ‘me against the neighborhood’ sagas in history has taken place with a video game that respects the legacy of the original and that uses current technology to create an experience with a retro aroma, but with tact contemporary. Streets of Rage 4, edited by DotEmu and developed by Lizardcube and Guard Crush Games, has been downloaded more than 1.5 million times, according to the publisher itself. In addition, they have taken the opportunity to announce all the news of the new patch.
