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.
