Streets of Rage 4: Mr. X Nightmare Reviews
Mr. X Nightmare is a quality addition to an already quality game. You can feel the care taken to bring in the new characters without wrecking the balance of the game, the fantastic soundtrack, and a great new mode that's positively addicting and well-made.
Streets of Rage 4: Mr. X Nightmare offers three new fighters that all offer something different, and a great new mode in Survival.
The Mr. X Nightmare DLC has amazing additions that enhance the overall package. The three new playable characters are unique and fun, and the Survival mode is awesome as well. It just doesn't get a maximum score because completing the main campaign (again) with the three characters as if they were "simple skins" is not the same thing as a campaign that could have been designed exclusively for them.

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.

Needless to say, there’s never been a better time to play Streets of Rage 4 if you haven’t already done so, or return to it. While the free goodies are undoubtedly welcome, it’s the extra characters, Survival mode and moves offered by Mr. X Nightmare that really breathe new life into this magnificent side-scrolling beat ’em up. With the DLC installed, Streets of Rage 4 becomes one of the best gaming experiences you can have right now. It’s utterly essential. Now we’re just hoping that Dotemu, Lizardcube and Guard Crush get to work together again on Streets of Rage 5.
Ages ago, when Castle Crashers hit Xbox Live, fans were happy to just pay out for a few new character and weapon skins, but the Mr. X Nightmare DLC appears to have been treated with the same level of care as the original game. Anyone who’s been looking for a better reason to go back to Streets of Rage 4 than just crawling up the leaderboards should jump on this DLC release, and the Survival mode’s 2-player online capability provides a great excuse to bring a friend along for the ride.
Streets of Rage 4 was already the pinnacle of beat ‘em ups in the modern age, and Mr. X Nightmare only fans its flames even more with the new additions it brings. If you have yet to give the game a go for whatever reason, now’s the perfect time to do so.
Mr. X Nightmare is a DLC that will bring some freshness to Streets of Rage 4 and a lot of replayability thanks to the creation of challenges in a procedural way. If you are a lover of the saga, give it a chance because it's very funny.

The beautiful thing about beat-’em-up games is that the genre’s appeal is immediate: Walk right, punch everyone along the way and feel great about it. The beauty of “Mr. X Nightmare” for “Streets of Rage 4” is less apparent, because the original game was already packed with value. But at $8, this trio of indie studios somehow made a far more robust and replayable package. There’s little else to say besides “Streets of Rage 4,” as a now-complete package, has my highest possible recommendation.
