Ten years have passed since the fall of Mr. X and his Syndicate. The city has been at peace... until now. A new crime empire has arisen, corrupting everything good in the city. It is rumored to be led by Mr. X's own children, the twins Mr. Y and Ms. Y.
Players have a limited number of lives depending on the difficulty setting; if the player loses all their lives, they have to restart the stage from the beginning. During Story Mode, on harder difficulties, when selecting the "Retry" option on the pause menu, the player can change their character, and also pick "Assists", which are namely increased lives and Star Moves; however, doing so adds a penalty to the score at the end of the level, with a higher penalty the more assists the player picks.
The game can be played locally with up to four players, while online play allows up to two players simultaneously. On Steam, it is possible to player with four players online through the remote play system. Friendly fire is now a toggle option, and is turned off by default. When playing online, if either player leaves the session, the match disconnects.
After each stage players are graded on their performance, with points being added to a meter which serves to unlock retro characters from the Sega Genesis titles. In addition to the main Story Mode, the player can also unlock a Stage Select, as well as Arcade Mode (play through the game without being able to retry) and Battle Mode (a player versus player mode).
There are six difficulties in the game: Easy, Normal, Hard, Hardest, Mania and Mania+. Each subsequent level of difficulty increases the number of enemies on-screen, features different and stronger variants of said enemies appearing earlier, as well smarter AI. On the hardest setting, Mania+, enemies will move much faster, and will also read the player's input to move accordingly and avoid attacks; in this difficulty players will also find red arcade cabinets in certain areas, also known as "cursed arcades", and destroying them will summon a retro boss to fight the player (the cabinet will disappear if the player defeats all enemies on the area before destroying it).
In addition to the original soundtrack composed by Olivier Derivire and guest musicians, there is also an option to play with a "classic" soundtrack, which uses tracks from Streets of Rage (both the Mega Drive / Genesis and Master System / Game Gear versions) and Streets of Rage 2 composed by Yuzo Koshiro. This only applies for Story / Arcade / Stage Select modes.
Streets of Rage 4 carries on the style of previous entries in the series. Players advance from left to right on each stage, defeating enemies as they go. Players can pick up healing items and disposable weapons. At the end of each stage the player must face the boss.
All the fundamentals from previous titles carry over to this game. Characters can execute combo attacks on the ground, as well Blitz Attacks, which are performed by pressing forward twice and the attack button. There are three different types of aerial attacks: neutral aerial (done by jumping in place), forward aerial and down aerial (notable for not knocking down enemies). The player can also grab opponents by moving into them directly, to pummel or throw them forward or back; most characters can also vault over opponents to perform more powerful throws.
Much like in older titles, jumping briefly grants invincibility frames at the startup, allowing the player to effectively dodge certain attacks if timed correctly. In addition, falling into holes or cliffs no longer kills the player; instead they deal a small portion of damage. When thrown or knocked down by enemies, players can "tech" as soon as they land on the ground, gaining brief invincibility and recovering faster; if a player techs after a throw, they negate all fall damage.
In order to prevent the classic infinite jab combo, where the player taps the jab button, pause briefly and repeat (essentially locking opponents on hitstun indefinitely), the developers added a limit where all enemies will fall down after taking up to 8 hits. The infinite can still be performed, but has a much smaller window of opportunity once enemies recover from hitstun (which resets the 8 hit counter).
New to Streets of Rage 4 are wall bounces. Enemies no longer go off-screen when launched by attacks, instead bouncing off invisible walls, determined by the current "combat zone" until the player can advance further. Enemies are vulnerable to attacks while in the air until they touch the ground; because of that, combat encourages players to juggle opponents against each other and walls for extended combos. Wall bounces can only be executed up to three times per combo.
In addition, some attacks have "off the ground" properties, allowing them to hit enemies have been knocked down to the ground. These attacks can lift them up, allowing for more juggling. Off the ground attacks can only lift enemies once per combo. The opponent is put back on "neutral" state once they get up, "resetting" their wall bounce and off the ground counters.
Certain attacks can also inflict ground bounces, which causes enemies to "kick" on the ground, allowing for more juggles. Ground bounces have no limit and can be executed indefinitely. Examples of ground bouncing attacks include Blaze's Hishousouzan and Max's Charge Attack.
Combo points are calculated on consecutive hits that deal damage to the enemies. The longer the combo, the higher score the multiplier. Points are awarded based on damage dealt, rather than number of hits; this means that consecutively hitting defeated enemies won't award additional points; this was made so characters with high damaging moves would not be put at disadvantage for high scores versus characters with weak and fast attacks that can rack up high combo hits. The player is awarded 1 point per 1% damage, dealt; this includes toxic and environmental damage (i.e. explosive barrels and stage hazards in Survival).
Hitting any breakable object during a combo will extend and increase hit counter, and picking up health/point items will only extend it. Taking any form of direct damage will break the combo and not award any points. After not hitting enemies for around four seconds the points will be awarded based on the combo counter, and the number of hits will reset. Speedrunners often make use of extending combo counters through pickup items and hitting breakables for the so called "full combo runs", where the player completes the entire stage without taking damage while not letting the combo counter reset.
"Out Of This World" combos are critical for high scores and achieving S Rank in Story Mode / Arcade, especially at higher difficulties. The counter has not a linear increase but exponential: that means that one consecutive combo of 100 identical hits would generate a much higher score than, for instance, 4 split combos each of 25 hits.
The Special Attack system from Streets of Rage 2 and Streets of Rage 3 returns, with improvements to encourage players to engage with it more promptly. After using a Special Attack, instead of just losing a portion of health, a green gauge will appear over the health bar, marking the amount of health lost used by the Special Attack. Each consecutive hit the player delivers against enemies will replenish some of that "green health" based on damage dealt, meaning the player can fully restore lost health used in a Special Attack by using normal attacks. However, should the player take a direct hit, the remaining green bar will disappear, and the health recovery effect will be lost; this creates a high risk versus high reward situation where players can spam Special Attacks as long they have health to spare. In addition, characters now have access to an Aerial Special Attack.
Another major addition are the Star Moves, which are limited-use super attacks which consume a Power Star, indicated below the player's health bar. The moves deal massive damage to multiple enemies at once, while also making the player completely invulnerable for its entire duration (except for a few, namely Shiva's Spirit Dance, Max's Iron Will, Estel's Tactical Support and Roo's Here Comes Bruce!). In addition, those moves ignore enemies' super armor, invincibility frames and also bypass their off the ground counter. Normally, players always start with one Star Move by default at the start of each stage, but more Power Stars can be found through the stage. Star Moves are inspired by the star power-ups from the first Streets of Rage that summoned the police to bombard opponents.
