Streets of Rage 4 pays homage to its predecessors by allowing you to unlock retro versions of characters and classic music tracks. Retro Characters: These are unlocked by accumulating a total score across all your playthroughs. The more you play and achieve high scores, the faster you'll unlock them. Each retro character (e.g., SoR1 Axel, SoR2 Blaze) has their original pixel art and move set. Retro Music: You can switch the game's soundtrack to classic Streets of Rage music from the options menu. This option is available from the start. Retro Stages: While not full stages, interacting with the hidden arcade cabinets in each stage temporarily transforms your character into their retro counterpart for that section. This is a fun way to experience the classic feel within the new game. Keep playing, aim for high scores, and explore every corner to unlock all the nostalgic content.
