This is a dlc that actually adds some value to the already great original game: three (well, four) new characters, character customization and an addictive survival mode and buying all these additions really don’t set you back that much.

Overall, the Mr. X Nightmare DLC is well worth the $8 price of admission. It makes a solid beat ’em up even greater, and seamlessly adds fantastic content to the game. While the story context is minimal, four additional characters and a fun new mode offer a ton of replay value. If the survival mode is too random for you, you can even take on weekly challenges to make it more predictable. With new enemies, items and moves, there’s plenty to love with the new update for Streets of Rage 4.

The three new characters — Estel, Max, and Shiva — enhance an already stacked roster, and the endless Survival mode adds considerable longevity to the core experience, as long as you don't mind the repetitive, grindy gameplay loop.

The new characters are just the tip of the iceberg of Mr. X Nightmare’s additions. Along with a very well done survival mode and some really interesting that adds even more depth to Streets of Rage 4 combo system, this DLC is a must have for anyone that is a beat ‘em up fan.

Streets of Rage 4: Mr. X Nightmare is a fairly priced bit of DLC that is the perfect reason for people who played this title a year ago to pick the game back up again. All three new characters play differently from one another, providing a satisfying variety as you pound your way through hapless bad guys once again. The Survival mode also exceeded my expectations and has that addictive ‘one more time’ feel to it.
