Nintendo LifeMitch VogelApr 20188/10All told, Streets of Red is a surprisingly varied and replayable game with plenty of clever ideas and riffs on the old school arcade beat 'em up formula. Though the visuals and music may not be terribly exciting, the pop culture references crammed into every stage help to give the game lots of charm.

NintendoWorldReportNeal RonaghanApr 20188.5/10Whether your throughline with Streets of Red is roguelike beat-'em-up or throwback to arcade brawlers, it's a great time. While it works best in co-op, overall this is a game with easy-to-grasp controls that builds out a wealth of variety with numerous characters and upgrades.

GideonsGamingJoseph PughMar 20198.5/10The game is wonderfully self-aware and melds that awareness together with well thought out and fun retro brawling. It's replayable, has several challenging secret bosses and local co-op. I can't recommend the game enough as long as you don't mind a challenge.

PS3Blog.netMay 201870/100If you're a fan of Double Dragon style games, you know, of the classics in the beat 'em up genre, then Streets of Red: Devil's Dare Deluxe Review might scratch that itch. While Ceidz preferred playing this release in couch co-op, EdEN liked going at it on his own, so there are definitely options for fans of both styles of play.
