Streets of Rage meets Yakuza series. Fun while it lasts, this is a very short game that was provided for free by SEGA. It was fun to see the characters from the Yakuza series and the Kamurocho streets on a sprite based game. The only problem is that the game is way too short but at the same time it was free.

Fine for an hour or so with a friend couch co op, tops.

No me puedo quejar mucho porque es un juego promocional gratuito. Pero bueno, es un nivel que se repite infinitamente y todos los personajes son reskins de Axel. Igual está bueno ver a los personajes y ubicaciones en pixel art de manera oficial.

i like some of the yakuza games, what the fuck do they know about side-scrolling, 2d beat-em-ups?

I mean, there's no meat on the bone here at all, just the scent of where meat once was. It's one Streets of Rage level but with Yakuza sprite edits. But it does make me happy, and I like that when you unlock Ichiban, it uses the Like A Dragon battle theme! Points knocked off for all three characters being Axel variants, though. Majima would never rapid punch without a knife, he is 100% a spinning bird kick super kinda guy.


A love letter to the fans, it's a short fun trip into Kamurocho in Street of Rage 2's skin. Sure it's just one level, but it's free and it's not really meant to be a full game.

A cute appetizer. It sits nicely on my desktop. Knowing it'll never be opened again.

C'est gratuit, on ne va pas se plaindre.

If I had a dollar for every time I was forced to play a beat em up because it was a spinoff of a franchise I liked where I could play as my favorite non-protagonist character, I would have 2 dollars

ee-yikes!! this game is baka mi-mid!! dame da no thanks!!

nishiki is really in some alleyway like "hey man do you have a shirt"

Surprisingly, I enjoyed this way more than I expected to. I have absolutely no experience with Streets of Rage and very little experience with beat 'em ups in general, I only got this because SEGA was giving it out for free a few years ago and because it was Yakuza-themed. I actually had some decent fun with this and I wish it was longer. It's kind of lame how the game doesn't tell you how to do special moves like Grand Upper (I think that's what it's called). I actually had to look up how to do it myself. The biggest problem I had with it is that enemies can just walk off screen and you have no way to interact with them if they do, you have to wait for them to come back. I might actually consider playing the Streets of Rage games as well as beat-'em-ups in general after having played this, because I really did have a solid 45 minutes with it, and I'm interested in playing a full length game in this style.

A free game, worth it to play for 10 minutes and never touch again

ichibans in it and i like ichiban

That feeling you get where you really want something, and then you get it and it's nothing like you thought it was? That's Streets of Kamorocho. Streets of Kamorocho is basically a tech demo that uses Streets of Rage 2 assets to make a beat'em Yakuza game with only the look of it. It's like cleaning a room by painting it or putting a sticker on your computer. Sure, you made it look pretty, but it's still the same thing it was when it started, but like also not because, again, this is a tech demo. It really would have been nice if they just gave each character a different move set or like a unique voice line, but literally everything here is just for show. The whole game is going through the first stage of Streets of Rage 2 as Alex clones fighting enemies that look like they are from Yakuza. I really, really wish there was something else here, but it honestly feels like a lazy rom hack.

eu ficaria extremamente feliz se isso fosse um jogo completo no estilo do streets of rage 4

Cute and charming for what it is. Being as short as it is, it's pretty unremarkable as a game. I'd honestly recommend playing this just for the music and the art but hey, it was free and has Ichiban in it so I can't complain too much.

I get that it's free but it's still just kind of a weird waste of time. It's SoR2 but with only one moveset and only one level. Just play SoR2 man

Ichiban in a beat em up. True yakuza 7 :za:

Streets Of Rage 2, but with Kiryu, Majima and Ichiban! There's sadly little here; the game endlessly loops the first stage until you get a game over, and, with the fact that all 3 characters have their movesets copied over from Axel, it feels more like a proof of concept than anything else. Though, I suppose that was the idea, given this was only made available for a single day as a part of Sega's 60th anniversary celebration. Regardless, the Yakuza touch-ups make for a nice love letter to fans of both series, but if it were the entirety of SOR2, it'd be an easy 4.5.

It's okay, nothing groundbreaking. There's only level and one moveset, and they are really done well; but then again, being only ONE level just make this game kinda pointless.

Um jogo lançado pela sega em comemoração ao aniversário de 60 anos. Acho maneiro isso de lançar um "jogo gratuito" para os consumidores, ainda mais nesse tema do jogo Yakuza.

Mas Streets of Kamurocho em uma forma técnica é uma demo de streets of rage com sprites trocados para o tema yakuza.

Existem 3 personagens cujo a única diferença é os sprites sendo eles Kiryu, Majima e Ichiban (Personagem que é desbloqueado após o fim da fase).

No fim é no mínimo interessante, oque me faz imaginar como seria se lançassem um jogo sério dessa franquia no estilo Streets of Rage e se isso iria funcionar.

Infelizmente Streets of Kamurocho é basicamente uma demo de outro jogo e sendo justo eu dou: Nota - 1.5/5

They could make a real one of these and I'd buy it.


This game was only available for a very short times as a celebration for Sega's Anniversary.

The game itself is just Streets of Rage 2, but reskinned as Yakuza, with only the first stage being playable on loop until you go game over and all playable characters use the exact same move set.
Could have been a pretty cool thing, if they went with a full Yakuza Beat'em'up.

An okay little freebie Sega gave out one time, but it's essentially a reskinned first level of Streets of Rage 2. Each character (and the unlockable Ichiban) plays exactly like Axel. An interesting little gimmick game for Y7, but ultimately something you could miss and still be fine.

its a fun little parody and has nice pixel art. also one of the most miserable things I've ever played. would've been way more fun to just look at a screenshot or something.
