Streets of Rogue is an arcade style rouge lite game that can keep me interested for a good while. while I waited for the game to go on sale, I must admit that after playing for 12 hours this game was worth the 50% off value, as though it provided more than its share of moments to remember, after awhile its ability to keep my interest only stands out when I invite friends over to play co-op.

Pros:
- Enough unique characters/classes and variety to keep you hooked and try each one out at least twice to learn their abilities, secret objectives, and interactions with other NPCs, objects and items.
- Chaos; "wanna start a zombie apocalypse?" "wanna go full on ape?" "wanna cause a robot rampage?" Streets of Rage lets you do this and so much more, I would add more to the list but half the fun is discovering what you can do and I was able to cause these three scenarios within the first 5 hours of gameplay and unlocks.
- Multiplayer availability, with the addition of remote play (via Steam) there is no excuse why you shouldn't invite your friends to play along with you. you could play cooperatively and use strategy to complete missions, or you could play the "Fun Way" and do your own thing while everyone else causes mischief due to miscommunication and pure insanity.

Cons:
- Although there's plenty of character unlocks, its equipment and item variety are not lacking but feel too similar sometimes, specifically the melee weapons as too many use slash and stab motions, personally (and perhaps they are later unlocks for all i know) I would like to see weapons like nunchucks, a whip or flail that provide an extended rage but at the cost of less damage than their closer ranger counter parts.
- Sometime you can be playing a blessed run and then be cursed by some unstoppable madness that is out of your control and just ends your run there and then. To be fair this game is one of many games that are Chaos Incarnate, but when you lose a run to something out of your control it can be a buzz killer and sometimes puts me off from playing another run for the day.

For my overall rating, I give Streets of Rogue a
