Feels like some stuff was removed. The classic headlines, diaries, and VHS tapes. Expected to be able to read/watch them.

Arcade Mode should have a suspend feature between levels. Not a full save that you can keep reloading, just a suspend.

If they add DLC, it'd be nice to get the Punk Frogs as playable characters. So many of the villains from the '87 cartoon were just humans though, so not sure who else they could add. Lord Dregg from the later series maybe.

Just read an update has came out on Switch so I guess it won't be long for the other formats.

Meh. I’m done with it.

This unfortunately.
I exploited the taint system because the other systems were a bit dull.

SoR4 remains king.

The frustrations with some of it meant building up the specials with taints was a completely valid way to stop it sucking quite as hard.

So it remains to be seen whether they’ve done enough with the rest of the game that the whole package is an improvement.

I think I'm in the minority on here, especially as time goes on, but I thought it was a cracking game. It lacks longevity but all I really need from most scrolling beat 'em ups is to be good as and when I'm in a room with other people who enjoy the genre. It's miles better than the 16-bit games, and I still enjoy both of those on occasion. Definitely a top tier belt scroller for me, the fact that it's a bit weak solo is almost irrelevant.

I thought it was great fun, and there are some smart tweaks to the move set of the typical scrolling beat 'em up that make it feel unique - mainly the ability to cross the screen almost instantly thanks to the charging attacks, which makes it much quicker that other games.

It definitely lacks depth and replay value, and is inferior to SoR4 in that respect, but I like that it offers a different experience that suits the characters, rather than serving up another SoR.

Been playing this again the last few days on the new patch.

Not being able to spam Taunt after every fight to get full stocks of Supers is a big improvement, as is how throws work now.

The final boss seems way faster and more aggressive now too.

The customisation options for Arcade Mode are the real big changes. Lots of things that can be toggled on or off like Supers taking health instead of a power bar, like old beat'em ups.

No revives in multiplayer.

More aggressive enemies.

Enemies explode after dying so you need to get out of the way.

There's also some options that will make it easier too, so fun for everyone.

What's not fun for everyone was my daughter playing on my account and starting a new game, but choosing the option to reset progress.

All characters back to Level 0 and Casey not unlocked.

Ouch.
