### 2/5 — Unfortunate

*2026-02-21, version 1.4.8*

The game is fun 
But I can't use the super power combo
I can't use items

Every button just registers as a tap 
The buttons just don't work

It's a shame cause I like the game but that really holds it way back

iPhone 16 Pro Max iOS 26.3

### 2/5 — Poor Performance

*2025-12-22, version 1.4.8*

Hitting sub 30 with lag on a modern phone that can run much more graphically intensive games

### 2/5 — Bruh

*2025-11-29, version 1.4.8*

Backbone support please

### 4/5 — Good but with ads at the end of the level

*2025-10-28, version 1.4.8*

To many ads but good gameplay

### 3/5 — 리뷰 수정함

*2025-09-27*

2018년 당시엔 괜찮았고 즐기기 매우 좋았어요. 오랜만에 옛 추억이 떠올라 했더니 터치 오류가 너무 많군요. 개발자께서 최신 아이폰까지 대응하여 개선을 해주시지 않는다면 이 게임을 할 필요는 없어보입니다.

### 3/5 — “Stars”

*2025-09-18, version 1.4.8*

I liked the game. Played many times for many days but the amount of stars required to keep moving on just killed the game for me. I am currently on 175 stars required level and it’s just not worth it anymore. 
I don’t think it’s a bad game, it’s bad game design in terms of progression. 
Also, I sometimes play with my son in co-op but tower levels ALWAYS start glitching after few levels and you can’t move forward because enemies disappear from screens and you can’t move forward without killing them.

### 5/5 — Animal Crossing

*2025-08-04, version 1.4.6*

This game look like Street of rage version of Animal Crossing

### 5/5 — Amazing game needs some more content

*2025-07-14, version 1.4.6*

1. This game is so much fun to play but when I am playing I always wondered what if this game had more scrolls so here’s my ideas for 2 new scrolls. What about a scroll that lets you jump backwards after you get hit so that the bad guys some times miss their chance to hit you again. This next scroll is basic it has been in almost every other fighting game but not this one it’s a block scroll everybody knows how it works. 


2. Gems are so hard to get but you need like fifteen gems to evolve and if you don’t have coins to upgrade then you have to spend an outrageous amount of energy towards getting a good amount of gems and I just don’t like it.


3. Speaking of energy I want to play this masterpiece a lot more but I can’t do that because of the energy so please give me like 60 energy max so I can play this masterpiece

### 3/5 — なんか惜しい

*2025-05-17*

レトロな王道ベルトスクロールを意識して作られていて、とても良いゲーム。
操作もスマホ向けにシンプルにしてあり、良く考えられている。
ただ、CM動画後にバグったり、タッチが不良になったりと不安定さが目立ちストレスになる。良いところが多いだけに残念。

### 2/5 — Great concept, very stingy

*2025-05-01, version 1.4.6*

Great concept, very stingy

### 3/5 — Great Game but…

*2025-04-26, version 1.4.6*

It’s dead as hell, the co-op feature is useless because barely anyone plays it. Grinding for coins is extremely annoying and it wouldn’t be a problem if the prices to level up weren’t so damn high.

### 4/5 — bugs

*2025-04-23, version 1.4.6*

It’s a pretty good game imo, but there’s lots of bugs, like when i’m just trying to move somewhere and the character suddenly jumps. But a major one is when i try to click on something it doesn’t register, stills good game though

### 4/5 — My only criticism

*2025-03-23, version 1.4.6*

Really good but I wish it had better graphics it is way to pixelated for me

### 2/5 — Pay-to-Win

*2025-03-14, version 1.4.6*

Pay-to-Win game

### 3/5 — Unnecessary Progression Systems

*2025-03-12, version 1.4.6*

Could’ve gotten more engagement if there wasn’t some type of “currency” wall to hinder progression AND force replay value. Now I ONLY play THIS when I want to lazily one button press some convenient time with making OTHER deposits in the bathroom stall. They sabotaged what could’ve been potentially a really great game and reduced its own intrinsic value with annoyances that force me to get more Time and Value from other games ...

### 5/5 — Top notch

*2025-03-07, version 1.4.6*

This is a masterpiece! I don’t know why all you fools are complaining about ads. If anything, this game has the perfect amount of ads. I love it.

### 2/5 — What the?

*2025-02-14, version 1.4.6*

Any new updates happening??? Or am I spending money on a dead end??

### 1/5 — PLOT ARMOUR

*2026-07-29, version 1.4.8*

FIX THAT MECHANIC HOW COME THE IN GAME CPUS GET PLOT ARMOUR AND WE PLAYERS DON’T ITS SO UNFAIR WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO UNLOCK PLOT ARMOUR AT LEAST LEVEL 5 OF OUR CHARACTERS AND THEN THE CHANCE WILL INCREASE EVERY TIME WE LEVEL UP AND WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO UNLOCK STUN AT LEVEL 8.UPDATE THIS GAME NOW AND MAKE STUN AND PLOT ARMOUR BECAUSE THE CPUS ARE GETTING WAY TO UNFAIR AND TO MENTION WHY IS UPGRADING SO EXPENSIVE BRO MAKE IT CHEAPER THIS GAME IS LITERALLY THE DEFINITION OF”PAY TO WIN”

### 1/5 — Game crashes

*2026-01-07, version 1.4.8*

They say they did an update to stop crashing but I have had to delete and redownload the game 2 times now to stop it from crashing but all my saved data gets deleted. I’m tired of ts.

### 1/5 — Bummer

*2025-04-03, version 1.4.6*

Really like the game but wow worst user interface ever I your buttons barely work and now I’m stuck as it wants me to click something and no matter how many times I donor try to press it nothing happens because your buttons don’t respond well at all. Sadly uninstalling

### 1/5 — combat system needs a ton of work

*2024-11-12, version 1.4.6*

you get into animation lock all the time. The whole holding attack is what's always killing me. No stuns too. It's so hard to cancel your attack. I wish we could also attack vertically or dash vertically. Then we have mediocore 2 currencies. 1 common and one rare. Also why did you have to add an energy system. Most useless thing ever.

### 1/5 — Crashes during initia load screen.

*2024-08-15, version 1.4.6*

Was fun till it stopped launching.

### 1/5 — Game doesn’t work

*2024-07-22, version 1.4.6*

Got a brand new phone and this game doesn’t respond when I try a special move and won’t let me pause, it’s basically broken and now deleted from my phone 👎🏽 and from what I played it was so repetitive, boring and extremely basic, the design over was cool and nostalgic but this was too basic and broken on top of it.

### 1/5 — Unnötig Unmöglich Uncool

*2024-02-20*

Also es werden oft Tages missions ziele die ich abschließe einfach nicht registriert wodurch ich dann keinen fortschritt machen kann oft schließe ich lvl ab und dann gibt es einen Error und ich bekomme ein Item weniger als belohnung wenn selbst so kleinigkeiten ständig bicht funktionieren warum baut man dann solche features ein in dem Game wenn alles garnicht wirklich funktioniert eigentlich ein game was spaß macht aber es fühlt sich an als würde man eine unfertige beta version spielen die eigentlich noch garnicht für die öffentlichkeit zugänglich sein sollte weil sie noch zu fehlerhaft ist.

### 1/5 — Needs improvement

*2024-01-01, version 1.4.6*

Tower does not give enough healing when progressing through earning money without using adds is a joke. The adds disconnect player from game and makes them have to restart and possibly loose the battle after they win. Good concept though needs improvement.

### 1/5 — Crashes Often

*2023-12-21, version 1.4.6*

I want to like Beat Street but the game crashes very often on me.

### 1/5 — 300 dollars + microtransactona

*2023-11-05*

This game thinks it’s worth 300 dollars A YEAR

What is wrong with this world that this BS is legal?

Predatory and criminal behavior

Avoid at all costs

### 5/5 — ITS VERY COOL

*2026-08-14, version 1.4.8*

I like how they got their own fighting styles including jet and Urs,

### 5/5 — PLEASE have landscape mode!

*2026-05-04, version 1.4.8*

I get that the game is made to play on portrait mode, but when I’m able to rotate my device and play just fine (for the most part) it’s so much better for me.

Ofc landscape mode doesn’t work all the way cuz I wasn’t able to use my ultimate ability nor pause unless I was in portrait mode. Please fix it! I think everyone would love both modes if they both work respectively!

### 5/5 — A Hidden Gem

*2026-04-21, version 1.4.8*

This game is amazing! There’s amazing pixel art and animations, and in general just very nice visuals, there is ads though, but, here’s the best part, there’s BARLY ANY ADS AT ALL! In fact there’s so little ads it’s basically an ad free game, and the controls are outstanding and very simple and creative! Get this game if you’re looking at it right now! It’s fun, it’s original, and very good! 👍

### 5/5 — Прошел

*2026-04-04*

Крутая игра. Очень жаль, что обновлять перестали и не добавляют нового…

*2026-02-04, version 1.4.8*

The simplicity of the game and the music makes this really fun. Definitely a hat tip to side scrolling beat em up games of old!

### 5/5 — Underrated game fr

*2025-11-26, version 1.4.8*

Just wanted to say i still love this game probably the only playin ts in the big 25 but id imagine the inspiration for this game came from streets of rage but yea yall keep updating I’ll continue to support it also btw-[MAJOR ISSUE WHEN IT COMES TO SAVING PROGRESS THROUGH GAME CENTER NEEDS TO BE FIXED. ALONG WITH OTHER IN GAME PURCHASES] also add new characters and fix bugs these issues definitely need to be fixed this mobile game still has potential

### 5/5 — Great game! but…

*2025-11-16, version 1.4.8*

### 5/5 — Amazing!!!!

*2025-10-12, version 1.4.8*

Such a fun game this game is just awesome so many cool and fun characters and challenges upgrades and evolves are so fun and the pass is okay but expensive for what it give you and I don’t know how to cancel the free trial without paying but other than that overall amazing

### 5/5 — Really fun beat em up
