A 2D beat ’em up game. During gameplay, you arrive at a city overtaken by bandits, and it is up to you to bring back order. Gameplay and visuals bring to mind other beat ‘em up classics.
Raging Justice released on PC, PS4 and etc. is a beat ‘em up title created by the small studio MakinGames. The company was set up by former employees of Rare – the team responsible for Sea of Thieves and the series Banjo-Kazooie and Perfect Dark. The production was published by Team17.
During gameplay, the hero finds himself in a city where corruption is prevalent. Therefore, force is the only way to bring back order. Luckily, you assume the role of either a former, well-trained army officer Nikki Rage or Rick Justice – a retired, yet very strong cop.
Almost all aspects of Raging Justice are similar to the genre’s classics, like Cadillacs and Dinosaurs. This is a 2D production in which you go through the streets and fight bandits. During combat, you mostly make use of feet and fists in order to launch simple attacks, as the title lacks complicated combos. You can also pick up items that the enemies drop, such as a hammer, a bat, or even a lawn mower. The protagonists’ health, which is limited, is presented in the form of a bar placed at the top of the screen. Collecting sandwiches that randomly pop up from time to time regenerates health points.
Just like good, old beat ‘em up titles, Raging Justice offers single player and local co-op. The game features world rankings where your score is presented.
Gameplay of Raging Justice for PC, PS4 and etc. closely resembles the productions of the past. The visuals are inspired by classic fighting titles, but they fit today’s modern world (HD, high resolution textures, etc.).

TheSixthAxis: 5 / 10 by Dave Irwin
There's so much wrong with Raging Justice that it's easy to forget that it's not completely unbearable. It's an average romp through arcade-like levels and while the key gimmick doesn't hit a home run, it at least is fitting with the theme. That said, this does sadly come off as a cheap imitator that misses the mark more often than not, and as I eluded to earlier, that hurts for me to say.
COGconnected: 60 / 100 by Ahmed Mohamed
There's a lot of fun to be had on the first playthrough, but the game simply doesn't offer enough content or complexity to keep my attention. It's classic art-style and gameplay are a tribute to a bygone era, but there is no excuse for the lack of content present in a title being ported to current gen consoles in 2018.

A retro-style beat 'em up without the retro charm, Raging Justice attempts to bring a dormant genre back to life with mixed results. Unfortunately, it just isn't as much fun as you'd hope it would be. So near, and yet so far, you'll be yearning for Streets of Rage in no time at all.
