About Streets of Fury EX
Streets of Fury EX is a chaotic hack-and-slash beat 'em up developed by Guard Crush Games, released in 2015. Set in a stylized, neon-lit version of Paris, it pits players against rival gangs in fast-paced brawls. The game supports up to four players in co-op or competitive modes, with split-screen for local multiplayer. Its core appeal lies in combo-heavy combat, unlockable characters, and "fury" attacks that let you unleash wild finishing moves. While the visuals and design lean into indie charm, the focus is on raw action and variety. It’s a game for fans of arcade brawlers who want to mix co-op mayhem with competitive sparring.
Gameplay
The gameplay revolves around aggressive melee combat with a mix of jabs, kicks, and special moves. Each fight sees you navigating crowded streets while dispatching waves of enemies, with combo meters encouraging creative stringing of attacks. The "fury" system lets you execute flashy, screen-clearing moves when the meter fills. Online and local multiplayer options add replayability, though the split-screen mode can get cramped. Character customization and unlockables keep sessions fresh, but the AI in single-player can feel inconsistent. Controls are responsive, with a focus on button-mashing for casual play, though mastering timing for critical hits adds depth. The variety of game modes, ranging from team brawls to one-on-one duels, keeps the action from feeling repetitive.
What Players Think
Community feedback is mixed but leans positive. With a 78% critic score and 72% user rating, it’s praised for its chaotic fun but criticized for lack of polish. Average playtime clocks in at 8.5 hours, with 35% of players completing the story mode. Twitch viewership ranks it at #85, indicating moderate popularity. Community moods highlight appreciation for unlockables and local co-op, but some note repetitive enemy patterns. One review states, “Great for parties but lacks deep combat nuance.” Another adds, “The fury system makes every win feel earned.” Achievement completion rates are high (82%), with most players earning at least 70% of unlocks.
PlayPile's Take
Streets of Fury EX is worth playing if you crave arcade-style brawls with friends. At its current price of $19.99 (often on sale), it’s a low-risk pick for co-op enthusiasts. The combat feels satisfying, and the multiplayer options justify its $20 price tag. However, solo players might find the story mode underwhelming. With 43 achievements and a 7-hour average playthrough, it’s not a long-term investment, but it delivers a punchy, fun experience for group sessions. Skip if you prefer deep combat systems.
