60 of 76 · most liked firstA bit baffled on this game and it's "Very Positive" rating here...There are a lot of problems with this game, especially with there being so many good templates to follow from older games like Streets of Rage 2 and Final Fight. This game feels like it just ignores just about all the good parts of those games and it's a complete mess. Let's get the worst out of the way first...you know how in classic beat-em-ups if you're fighting an enemy the others on screen mostly hang back for a second and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fantastic, classic beat 'em up. Love the art style. Really dig the vibe and ambiance too. Played 3 stages so far. Mechanically no issues. Each stage was kept fresh to avoid the monotony plagued by the bad titles in the genre. For the negative: 1) Overall player movement could be sped up a little. Hard to pull off the dash, especially using a stick on a xbox pad. Little stiff - more fluidity would be nice and hopefully addressed in an update. 2) Can get a little too reliant on crowd…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very fun brawler. It has a weird aesthetic reminiscent of Final Fight that I get a good kick out of. Mechanically it feels a little janky but it gets the job done and you got a nice assortment of moves to beat up a bunch of different thugs and bosses as you rage for justice across various assorted stages. What more can I say... go clean up those dirty streets.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I thought I'd really like this game, but it just doesn't feel right to me. I don't know if it will come to me with a bit more play, but the combat doesnt flow nicely, it feels a bit clunky. I don't really get on with the controls either, and want to remap the buttons, but I don't think you can, the options are very limited to what you can actually alter, and I would like to think that they will add more at a later date. You can't even set the resolution! The music seems bland, and has just…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Raging Justice Raging Justice is an over-the-top sidescrolling beat'emup full of modern machismo in the best way possible. Paying homage to the pioneers of brawlers this very much resembles a 3D Streets of Rage or Final Fight, down to the dramatic openings of still-frame dystopic city scenes and corrupt kingpins. Gameplay The punches, kicks, grabs and even those fun overpowered little jump-kicks you always use to abuse as a kid in brawlers are all here in fast, slick combo-y order. The three…

I am an independent Curator providing reviews and insights to the games that need the spotlight! Thank you! :) I knew exactly what to expect about this game. I was born in the 80's. Street of Rage, Final Fight and the TMNT games are part of my DNA. This game was made practically by 2 people who I would love to have a cup of coffee with, because I…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I grew up playing lots of side scrolling beat em ups in my local arcade. Final Fight was probably my overall favourite. This game encapsulates the feeling and so much more. The graphics and art style is fantastic and its really well presented. It will take quite some practice to build strategies on how to take down multiple foes but its a lot of fun doing it. There are challenges for each level and a ton of achievements which is always nice. If you like side scrolling beat em ups this defintely…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Raging Justice is a classic style arcade beat'm up game. PROS: None CONS: - Annoying music and sound effects. They were only acceptable in arcade machines to be precise. - Sluggish controls. - Bad hitbox placements. - Unpolished gameplay. - Poor gfx. - Very very bad, non-fluid animations with low frame count. - Boring story, it is non-existant. - Uninspired character designs. - Uninspired backgrounds. 2/10 A total disappointment. I cant believe Team17 accepted to publish this crap. This…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This pile of junk isn't even worth the sale price, and the 15 dollar retail price is a robbery. The game's controls are very limited and stiff, with few attacks or movement options. The flow of the game is weaker than 1989's Final Fight, and the graphics, while a novel throwback to the mid 90s, wear thin quickly when the gameplay drones on and on with enemies swarming in unfair configurations, players being knocked down into helplessness with no chance to fight back, and the underutilized…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Yet another one of those cheap and ugly beat 'em ups you shouldn't really care about. But let's start with the good stuff. First of all – this game actually works. Sounds like an obvious thing, but nowadays? In Steam? That's actually a thing to mention. Too many cheap games here were made just for quick money and, as we all know, very often such products don't even work properly. Raging Justice does. It won't crash on you or something like that. You want to finish it? You'll be able to. The…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nah... Isn't it. Stiff music, stiff algorithms, gameplay isn't refined. Nice effort though it is definitely there. Bright side is I found out about Mother Russia bleeds and River City Ransom Underground so can't get mad. Especially when these games exceed expectations. Had to refund this one.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Raging Justice is a game that attempts to emulate the classics, but ends up being vastly inferior. Bland gameplay, unremarkable sound and ugly graphics make for a game that does not stand up to it's claims. https://youtu.be/Tm0Yz0nPQCs
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It doesn't take long to realise something is not quite right about Raging Justice. Upon loading up the game you are greeted by a title screen where our heroes and heroines all strike macho poses- so far so good. But....and I can't believe I'm typing this....where's the gruff voiced dude, who sounds like he gargles with rusty tetanus infested nails, saying "Raaaaaaaaaaaaagingggggg Juusssssticcccccce" with such intensity you'll be left in no doubt as to how RAGING this JUSTICE is gonna be, as one…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The animations and the beat 'em up feeling are definitely off. There are too many better examples, even decades old and even free, to waste time with this. Too bad.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →if you want to beat'em up game, please don't buy it, don't waste money. ~ DIFFICULTY ~ 🔲 My 90 year old grandma could play it 🔲 Easy ✅ Normal 🔲 Hard 🔲 Dark Souls (if u play with bell demon and charmless its extremely hard) ~ GRAPHICS ~ 🔲 MS Paint 🔲 Bad ✅ Meh 🔲 Graphics dont matter in this game 🔲 Good (nothing special) 🔲 Beautiful 🔲 Masterpiece ~ MUSIC ~ 🔲 Bad ✅ Not special 🔲 Good 🔲 Beautiful ~ STORY ~ 🔲 This game has no story ✅ Like playing Temple Runners for the story 🔲…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was certainly "raging" by the end of Raging Justice, not because of it's "difficulty" the game just keep throwing enemies non-stop and arrest mechanic is worthless when there's ten enemies on screen. That the weapons break in two only makes this game more miserable...
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Still deciding on whether I enjoy this game. The sound effects could be better (where is that bone-crunching punch sound?) and there needs to be an option to enhance resolution. I stopped playing the game after the first stage, because the game absolutely needs CONTROLLER SUPPORT!! I can't play this type of game with a keyboard. I want to use my Madcatz arcade fightstick or at the very least an XBOX or Steam controller. I will review this game in its entirety once they release full…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not the best :( completed the game in 1.20 mins in 2 player Co-Op which was a bonus as i just wanted it to end. only get if you love Co-Op and the genre, and it's less than £3 for that price its OK everyone else avoid.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Raging Justice is a classically inspired side-scrolling beat-em-up both inside and out. What's particularly noteworthy is its arrival comes over two decades after the genre was last considered hot. While the contemporary release date is likely enough to drive most fans interest, the question ultimately becomes whether there's a good game to be had here or not. After having played and (mostly) enjoyed the game for several hours, my answer is yes but with some very clear caveats. If I had to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I want to recommend this game, but I can't... While the fighting is fun and you can feel every hit... IN WHICH BEAT EM UP GAME YOU CAN GET STUN LOCKED UNTIL YOU DIE?! Really... It is an ode to retro side scrolling beat em ups, and you haven't put a short invulnerability, to avoid this? All the classics had it, and ESPECIALLY Raging Justice that you are not invulnerable when you are knocked down, should have it after a few hits... One may say that is fair because the same applies for the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Buy on sale, i`ve played worse games in my life
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Had high hopes but I would have to agree: This game feels clunky and I didn't really enjoy it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Growing up in the 80s and 90s in a boardwalk town with 5+ arcades, I sure did spend alot of time playing Beat em' Ups. Raging Justice does two things for me which many of the great Beat em' Ups do. -Its a good time and fun to play. -I find myself thinking about it and wanting to play it when I'm not playing it. Many of my favorite Beat em' Ups keep me coming back over 20 years later. Simply because they are fun to play and they made a lasting impression. Final Fight, The Punisher, TMNT,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →seriously, this one took me by surprise. I've tried to find in my quest today's beat-em up versions of the streets of rage series and this is the closest of them all. It's literally streets of rage 4. well, sort of. However, it does have its quirks and issues. For one thing I can't understand for the life of me why developers think it's necessary to to stuff the screen with loads of AI enemies that, chock full of them don't give you breathing space or the time to pull off neat combo tricks. It…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Basically a Streets of Rage tribute with a few surprises! The mechanics feel good and nothing was too unfair. A single playthrough won't last you much more than 3 hours, but with limited continues you may find yourself going back a few levels to keep your credit count high. Also the graphics are a bit odd and the music is kind of generic but they do fit well with the game. Overall a solid indie beat em up.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Raging Justice is a brutal scrolling beat 'em up that reminded me of Pit Fighter and perhaps even more closely it's spiritual successor Guardians of the 'Hood. I was unsure about the style of the game at first, but I was surprised by how much depth there is to the gameplay. A great feature is the arrest mechanic, where you have to capture bad guys to get health items. This makes you think about how you fight rather than just mashing buttons. The game can feel unfair when there are too many…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My Video Review: https://youtu.be/XJG7998caMU Raging Justice is not a bad beat ‘em up game but could have definitely been better with a little bit more effort put into it. I have found quite a lot of pros there - dynamic neverending action, satisfactory effect of weapons, partially interactive environment, solid variety of enemies including bosses, balanced difficulty, responsive controls and solid graphics and sounds. But I have also found many cons there - that everyone is going after you at…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →entertaining beat'em up title
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An awful beat'em'up, that could have worked as a simple arcade game, but ultimately doesn't I had a bit of fun playing it, and learning the ropes in the first couiple levels. With a bit more application they could have made this an enjoyable arcade game, even if it is way too janky to ever reaching the category of good beat'em ups. First the base price is too high for what it has to offer. Don't pay more than 4$ for this. Preferably less. This game looks like the game that Team 17 always…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love this genre wholeheartedly, and seeing new games for it on Steam is a delight. But I just can't recommend this one. The art style is interesting but gameplay is clunky, feeling like you're flailing around at the air and never quite connecting, even when you are. It's not always clear what button does what and there's little means of crowd control when you get swamped. The game does have positives -- the arresting system is an interesting touch, harkening back to NARC, and there's tons of…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My kind of game! I am a huge fan of 2d beat em ups, and while there are a lot of them on Steam, very few are straight up no-nonsense street beat em ups. Most beat em ups nowadays have some kind of RPG system which might be interesting for new gamers, but in my mind taints/changes the genre. It stops being "pick up and play" and about your skills and becomes more about leveling up and such. Double Dragon Neon for example, while being a great game, suffers from that. It's no longer beat em up,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This games was clearly inspired by streets of rage. And that is not a bad thing. Graphics and sound are decent and the gameplay will keep you busy for some hours. This is ofcourse best when you play this together with someone else. It's a lot of very simple fun! RECOMMENDED!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Raging Justice feels like a 90s action movie, and looks like it, too. The art reminds me heavily on Age of Barbarians, with that pre-rendered characters, and kind of stiff animation, that gives it a grat B-movie vibe. Some things I like the most: + Great graphics, especially if you like the look + good combat mechanics that have to be mastered + great variety of enemies and locations + a nice twist: if you arrest enemies instead of beating them unconscious, you get some health back The…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not Recommended
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not really sure why there is so many negative reviews. It's a indie beat'em up with a retro vibe! Raging justice is hella similar to Final fight but managed to make it slightly better. The only con that I have with this game is that the arrest gimmick should be more dynamic like: Being able to arrest enemies while they are on the ground. Also there is times that the game throws at you tons of enemies to deal with that can knock you and stun, so this means that you can take a couple of hits…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good beat em up. in 90s stile
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really disappointed with this. It just feels incredibly sluggish and basic.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →if you are a fan of final fight, this game is definately for you. it has the same features as final fight, but it also has a couple of extra features eg. you can hit people on the ground(just like in Vendetta),grab people (like in double dragon and do commbos on them),arrest people when dazzed and if you arrest certain people "with warrants "you get heaps of points(they will have a red outline and also their name will come upo at the start of the stage. The only cons are; if you try to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Raging Justice is a modern throwback to the golden age of arcade beat-’em-ups, built with a clear love for the genre’s raw energy, exaggerated violence, and straightforward sense of purpose. Developed by MakinGames Ltd and published by Team17 Digital Ltd, the game positions itself firmly as a street-level brawler where crime has spiraled out of control and only relentless fists, improvised weapons, and a heavy dose of vigilante justice can restore order. It does not attempt to reinvent the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →really fun beat em up, if you like this style, get it and have fun. Good graphics, sound and playability
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →sexy yum yum game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A classic 90's beat-them-up side-scrolling action game made with current technology of 3-D rendered background and characters. You know the game faithfully re-captures the feel of the genre when you see the first stage starts in a slum. The style and design of the enemies are also done correctly. It feels a little clunky, though. Not sure if it is done purposely to resemble the retro experience, as revisiting those games like Final Fight or Street of Rage now you may feel the control not very…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is a pleasant surprise. Bought it 66% off at 5.95$ so take that into consideration . I play this game using an xboxone controller, wich i recommend. There was no issue and buttons where decently mapped so i did not have to remap anything. Out of the box runs great. It is a game in the veins of classics like final fight and double dragons. Where it differs a bit, and it might be to it's advantage is that it isn't as cheap as these games. Understandably the afformentioned games…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ive had this in my library for a LONG TIME and just played it for the 1st time today, this game is F*CKING AWESOME!! If you were a Streets Of Rage fan back in the day then you will love this. Only downfall? Only 3 Characters to choose from, Rest is great.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While it's far from perfect, there are definitely some good things going here. The gameplay is reminiscent of classic 90s brawlers like Final Fight, with lots of weapons and one tweak I always appreciate, being able to hit foes while they're down, and the "good cop/bad cop" theme gives you a couple ways to play. It runs well on PCs that meet or are just above minimum requirements, looks good too although some character movements seem a bit stiff. Also it feels like collision detection is…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A really fun side-scrolling beat-em-up in the vein of Streets Of Rage or Final Fight. Has basic strikes, grappling/throws, a special move, and weapons. I love trying to arrest every goon instead of just knock 'em out. It's the closest to the Punisher game from Sega Genesis, which is exactly what I wanted!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Raging Justice is a beat-em-up in line with Steets Of Rage, Burning Fight, Final Fight etc... It's great to see old-school arcade style games coming back today. The game has colorful graphics and plays very well on PC (I play with keyboard only as I don't own a gamepad). If you fear these types of games don't play well with keyboard, don't worry - I'm not a very good gamer but you can definitely get used to it and it plays fine. This game is a high-quality, polished indie title. If you…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →wow. what a good game to play with a friend or solo remind me of the first final fight game from capcom there is a lot of inspiration from this game try it if you love 2d fighting game it is a blast.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty okay beat em up. Enemy juggles can be unfair, but for what it is, it isnt bad. I'd buy it again.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice Beat em up game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Apparently i played this game and beat it. I don't remember anything about it other than it being a slog to play.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good graphics and smooth gameplay
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So for $15 I figured I'd take a shot and see what the deal was about this game. One thing I was concerned about was the movement speed of my fighter. But after watching a couple gameplay vids on YouTube I was satisfied. I've seen the comparisons to Final Fight, but as a kid I was playing WrestleFest more than anything at my local arcade. But as far as this game goes the creators definitely deserve their flowers. They definitely put the time and effort in. They give a cool beat up with a sweet…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really fun game! Some great old school beat'em up action. Bust criminals for bonus points. The detective looks like Larry King.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Finish in three player mode. Animation is so stiff. I triggered a bug in the final boss where he got stuck doing nothing as long as I didn't change my position and attack pattern. I can't recommend the game, though.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's quite difficult and has a learning curve but this is a pretty decent beat em up, once you've adapted to the play style. The two things that really make it stand out from others in the genre are: 1. The best way to get health is to arrest enemies. Grab them, stun them, then arrest them when they get back up. This adds another layer of strategy to things and is something you really want to do when there's less enemies on screen. 2. You can continue from the start of any level you reach,…
