❤ Combo System and Depth

Players can string together lengthy, stylish combos in Streets of Fury EX, utilizing a wide variety of attacks, including normal attacks, launchers, and special moves. The game allows players to improvise and get creative with different combo routes, reminiscent of fighting games like Marvel vs. Capcom and Guilty Gear. Techniques like air juggles, ground bounces, and "OTG" (opponent on the ground) attacks add depth to the combo system.

❤ Character Variety and Uniqueness

The game boasts a roster of over 20 playable characters, each with their own distinct fighting style and personality. Reviewers highlight how the characters feel remarkably different from one another, with a diverse range of movesets and special attacks. The cast is a mix of serious martial artists and more comedic, over-the-top personalities, which helps keep the gameplay fresh and entertaining. Many of the characters are based on real-life internet personalities and fighting game pro gamers, adding an extra layer of novelty.

❤ Challenging, Rewarding Gameplay

While the game has a simple, "go right" beat 'em up structure, the combat system has a high skill ceiling. Successfully stringing together long combos and mastering each character's nuances takes practice, and the higher difficulty settings provide a serious challenge. However, players find the feeling of finally conquering a difficult section or boss to be extremely rewarding. The addition of mechanics like stamina management, parries, and counter-breaking add additional strategic depth.

❤ Cooperative and Competitive Play

The game supports up to 4-player local co-op and versus modes, providing a chaotic yet satisfying experience. Reviewers praise the ability to team up with friends to take down hordes of enemies or compete against each other. The game's mechanics, such as the deep combo system and character variety, are well-suited for cooperative and multiplayer play.
