Finished the game with Axel, Blaze and Cherry, and am currently playing through as Floyd. I found it quite tricky as Axel, but am getting progressively better. Cherry was a little fragile, but makes up for it with speed. I really like Floyd's grab attack, where he grabs an enemy with each arm and whacks them together. Beat 'em ups aren't really my forte, but I love how retro it feels - particularly with the music - so I'm surprised that I'm quite enjoying the game. Some of the enemies are really annoying, though, especially the rotund fellows with the hideous laugh.
@mookysam The round bois are absolutely horrible, I hate them almost as much as the women who do a flying kick that seems to go through everything and always make you land in a pit. I’m playing as Blaze now and she feels like a bit of a step down from Cherry due to being slow again. The extra weapon attacks are interesting though.
I am struggling with level 12 on story mode. Any tips?? Currently playing as Blaze with no assists on medium difficulty (don't want to change any of this). I can just about get through the gates with both lives intact now. Then I always lose a life and gain a life in the next section. By the time I fight all the big lads in the final section I have no lives left. Still haven't even seen the final boss 😭
@ralphdibny I’ve been playing Blaze on hard and my general tactic is to combo up until just before she kicks them away and instantly blitz attack. Blaze can also use her blitz attack to hit enemies lying on the ground. That section you’re talking about is proper hard but you basically just have to take advantage of the many weapons lying around and focus on taking no damage, rather than getting a large combo or completing it quickly.
@nessisonett holy moly, that really helped actually!!! The combo + rush attack got all me all the way to the final boss until miss Y jumped in her robot. I think I'll give it another go or 2 with no assists then I think I'm going to cave. I've spent a bit too long on this game and I want to tick it off! Cheers!
@ralphdibny The final section is just brutal to be honest. Both bosses at the end do a load of damage and there’s barely any healing nearby. Kudos for getting that far and hopefully you beat it soon!
@nessisonett I beat it just as I saw the e mail notification for your comment! 😅 I can't believe I'm such a n00b at this game where other people have already beat it many times over. At least it wasn't as frustrating as streets of rage 3 though!
I managed to do it with no assists as well woop! I took your second piece of advice of taking it slow for the boss. I also found some other tips online, like taking out Mr Y first so he's the one who jumps in the robot. Then standing at the top left where the robot can't hit you and just taking out Mrs Y from there.
So glad to beat it finally. I think I will give it a few more goes, maybe once with the arcade stick and once with the Bluetooth Saturn pad. The switch pro controller d pad is a bit hard on the thumb. Not sure if I'll do that soon or at a later date though.
Is there any point in doing story mode multiple times if the arcade mode is easier? Is it basically the same except you hoard stuff between levels, does arcade mode still have cutscenes?
@ralphdibny Congrats! Arcade Mode I think might remove the cutscenes but if they are in then I just skip them because I don’t remember. I’ve been using story mode because if you get a game over then you can just go back to the last level.
@ralphdibny Yeah, I found arcade easier to start with but then when you get destroyed on a level then you have to start all over again! I’ve got every SOR1 and 2 character now but I haven’t tried them out yet.
No matter how far you are from a pit, their kicks always seem to throw you into the abyss @nessisonett! Aside from the rolling/fire breathing round enemies, generally anything with projectiles is quite irritating, such as the heavies with the pistols or the molotov cocktail ladies.
@ralphdibny Well done for getting through it. Ms. Y and her ridiculously long sword did my head in for a while, but the thing that messed up the level for me the first few goes were the guffawing gentlemen.
Anyhoo, that's the game wrapped up for me, I think, at least at my limited skill level! I've completed story mode as each of the five SOR4 characters, as well as Adam from SOR1, Skate from SOR2 and Shiva from SOR3. My favourite character overall is SOR4 Adam, as he's extremely fast and well balanced, with a great blitz attack. My least favourite was Axel, as he's slow and finicky, although that may partly be because I was complete crap when I first started the game. On the whole I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would, and liked that it was short enough to have a quick runthrough each day. Nice spread of levels and brilliant music that absolutely shines through headphones.
Apologies for taking so long to get round to this, somewhat underestimated the sheer work involved in my final year at uni.
The runners up last time were Bioshock 2, Rime and Sonic Mania. We’re starting Resident Evil 3 Halloween weekend so we’ve got about three weeks to get through one of these. With that in mind, vote for one of these three that you’re most likely to beat in three weeks. Vote closes Monday afternoon!
Nowt for me, I'll sit the next couple out as I've still to finish resi 7, I'm going for that for Halloween. I enjoyed bioshock 2 when I played it though so if you end up playing that I'd be interested to see folks thoughts. I was surprised it was the black sheep of the family. I probably enjoyed it more than infinite.
I honestly don't think I'll have time to join in during the next 3 weeks due to work. So don't count my vote. Out of the selection, the only game of have any hope of beating in time is RiME at 5 hours on HLTB. Maybe use me as a tie breaker
Thanks for the tag. I too gave up RiME and decided it wasn't for me. I had recently finished my Playdead double bill of Limbo & INSIDE so was looking for an indie game in a similar vein. RiME wasn't it.
I played Resi 3 remake during the summer and really enjoyed it. Only issue I had is that it's too short!
