Streets of Rage 4: tips and walkthrough to unlock the game's 17 characters

Released on April 30, 2020 on PC, PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch, Streets of Rage 4 marks above all the great return of a license that marked video games in the 90s, at the time when SEGA and Nintendo pulled the plug with their respective Megadrive and Super Nintendo. Thanks to the talents of DotEmu and Lizardcube, the series now benefits from a real sequel, canonical, dubbed by the Japanese publisher. True knowledge that the developers have managed to impose over their games, while keeping the love and nostalgia they have for these works that rocked their childhood.

In this regard, to stay faithful to the source material, the guys at DotEmu and Lizardcube have integrated many Easter Eggs in this Streets of Rage 4, with many characters, stages and mythical attacks to unlock. In this tip page, we explain step by step how to access these bonuses full of nostalgia. We start with Adam Hunter, one of the protagonists of the first Streets of Rage and who is therefore making a comeback in a modernized version full of panache.

HOW TO UNLOCK ADAM HUNTER (STREETS OF RAGE 4)

When you launch the Streets of Rage 4 adventure, you find that Adam Hunter is not accessible. For it to be, it's not very complicated, you just have to finish Chapter 4 of the "Story" mode, the one called "The Old Pier" or "Vieux Quais" with us. No matter what difficulty level you have chosen, once the Stage 4 boss is downed, the Adam Hunter character will be introduced to you through a cutscene and you can then choose him as a playable character. Weaker to take hits compared to Axel Stone, Adam Hunter compensates for this slight weakness with his agility and speed. He is an ideal character for players looking for someone more reactive in his movements.

But Adam Hunter is obviously not the only playable bonus character in Streets of Rage 4. The developers have indeed integrated all the old versions of each character, from the first Streets of Rage to the third episode. We explain to you how to recover them suddenly.
