Streets of Rage: Syndicate Chaos

SoulFireBlaze wrote:STREETS OF RAGE: SYNDICATE CHAOS

This project was once started by me years ago, but it was cancelled due to some development issues. Some time last year, my friend Blackblade34 sought to work with me to revive and finish the project. Modifications have been made here and there, but now you can finally experience this once lost SoRMaker game made for Streets of Rage Remake V5.

Story:
Two years after the events of Streets of Rage 3, a war between two crime syndicates wreak havoc around the city. Gang wars and murders are happening everywhere, and it's up to Axel, Blaze, Adam, Skate, Max, and Zan to stop the syndicates. Our heroes must split up into two teams, each searching for one of the syndicate bosses and bringing down the syndicates. The identities of both crime bosses are mysteries that must be solved by each team, fighting through countless waves of criminals once again on the STREETS OF RAGE.

If you are playing as one of the following characters, the story continues by taking the straight path in Stage 1:
Axel
Blaze
Max

For these other characters, the story continues from an alternate path in Stage 1:
Adam
Skate
Zan

Edit: so played through what I assume is Axel, Blaze and Max's path.

- The story is alright, lot's of idle talking but I like the attempt. Never been a big fan of dialogue in the middle of fighting so if anything important was there I skipped it.

- Some stages look beautiful, others have some potential with a little less copy pasta going on but then there's some that have really annoying things like the overlay of red, very harsh on the eyes.

- Music choice is a bit all over the place, I do like the use of fighting force tracks as well as some new (to me anyway) SoR remixes though some other tracks feel out of place.

- Enemy placement could definitely use some work, feels a bit messy in some areas, empty in others. There are some awkward moments where I thought the level would end and it didn't. like when I fought the antonio clone in the casino, the wave of hakuyo's after him just felt off, maybe swap them?

- The escape scene is horrendous, honestly. WAY too much going on, poison gas, explosions everywhere, walls, fire, a timer and even a completely out of place falling container. Sheesh pick 1 or 2 and stick with it lol.

- I do like the mixture of some elements, the conveyor belt in combination with the press. needs a little fine tuning but it's a good concept, makes the factory feel like a factory.

All in all the mod has serious potential, keep at it. I'll be back with more feedback on the other route(s)

• Mixbag of styles among the scenes. Some were splendid (loved the casino, for example or the park), some other were okaysh but some were a true eyesore (like those weird neon looking areas or the office of Mr. X), I think graphically speaking the mod was inconsistent in style and quality.
  
• Enemy placement was also kinda mixed. Some areas were quite fun while other were dragging too much. I learned that a good pace never goes beyond 2 waves of enemies per stop. Needs work and fine tuning.
  
• Liked the production of showing a post-credits scene bringing a sequel. That was nice, just get rid of those neon colors!
  
• Music wise was okay, unremarkable except the casino area, which had the best music in game.
  
• I also hated the last sequence. Too much going on and that game over timer was way too much. There were 3 escape missions back to back and was getting old, the third one was what made me drop the controller and not trying again. Definitely that killed the mod in my eyes.
  
• Lots of technical issues out there like misplaced layers that showed blurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrred areas, enemies popping out of nowhere and so on. Needs more fine tuning out there.

It does have potential cuz has some fun parts but others need some work going on. Not bad but can be a lot better.

Some of the levels do go on for ages though (like the Casino), and enemy placements are fairly obnoxious at times, but other than that, quite enjoyable.

Curious to see how the sequel turns out.
