Before I Begin...
This review is based on the status of the game as of April 24, 2020. The game may have changed if you read this review in a later date.City Fighter vs. Street Gang
"City Fighter vs. Street Gang" is a game developed by Game Theory Arya's Games. This game has neither the most logical story or some of the most logical content. With that said, let me set up the story.
You play as someone who tried to drink orange juice, but your oranges were stolen by a gang called... the Street Gang. This story, is according to the So it is up to you to defeat this Street Gang in revenge. Doing so will take you on a journey around the city taking on all sorts of thugs and criminals.
When I first looked at "City Fighter vs. Street Gang," I realized it used Unity3D assets from a certain developer (I am leaving the name of the studio undisclosed). The action in the game was of interest as I thought it was pretty cool watching when I was watching a YouTube video. I was thinking this would be a good game to play on a mobile device. It did not seem too challenging or complex, but just enough to suit mobile gamer tastes. So after a good bit of deliberation, I decided to give this game a try.
"City Fighter vs. Street Gang" features low-polygon 3D graphics. A lot of what has been put into this game mostly come from asset packs I've seen for Unity3D to make for a free-to-play game. It is all fairly simple in its execution and design.
Now let me introduce you to this game.
The Basics: Starting Out.
As you start up "City Fighter vs. Street Gang," you may receive a bonus of Oranges. Oranges are the currency of this game and the only currency in this game, and you will need these Oranges to upgrade your character, buy new characters, buy new weapons, and more. You can pay your own real money to buy packs that will grant you more in-game Orange credit. Every six hours, you can claim a bonus prize of Oranges when you start the game up. You also can try your luck and get some bonus gift to help you in your adventure. Most Gifts are only good for the next play. So when you are done with a certain level, it's gone. The game comes in four difficulty levels: Easy (default), Normal, Hard, and Insane.Characters
Only two characters are available to you when you start the game- a male named Arya and a female named Chunlai. Both have fairly decent stats. Each character has four different color styles you can choose from. Each character is rated for the following:
• Health: the total health of the character.
• Punch Power: the power of the character's punches.
• Kick Power: the power of the character's kicks.
• Weapon Skill: how well the character can use weapons.
• Defense/Defence Skill: the level character's defensive abilities.
You can upgrade each character's abilities by spending Oranges. Each upgrade will help you to be the absolute best fighter. Invest in your Oranges to access stronger characters.
Weapons
Buy weapons to access in the game after smashing crates or from enemies. You have two basic weapons to start with- a baseball bat and a tonfu. You can upgrade weapons or buy new ones. You can upgrade weapon damage (how much damage is dealt with successful hits) and durability (how long the weapon holds up when used). You also can spend Oranges on the rate in which you get a weapon from a busted crate. By default, there is a 25% rate you will get weapons from smashed crates.
Enemies
The enemies in this game are a handful of civilians trying to take you down any way they can. Most levels usually have no more than two enemies on screen at once. Some levels have a wave of enemies that can be defeated easily with one or two attacks. You have to be an equal opportunity brawler as you have to deal with male and female enemies in stages. Defeated enemies will leave behind Oranges or any weapons they may have used or dropped. Some stages have a Boss battle for you to try to beat. Defeat the Boss to clear that level and perhaps that District!
Time to look at game play now.
The Basics: Game Play.
The game has two modes: Hero Mode and Campaign Mode. In Hero Mode, you play a continuous set of stages battling the various enemies. It is sort of a hodgepodge of various levels rather than one consistent theme of levels. Campaign Mode has you take part in the game's main story. The Campaign Mode features six different districts for you to take part in. Once you collect enough Stars in Campaign Mode, you can access later Districts. Or for a hefty price of Oranges, you can unlock later levels. You are free to access the different category of levels on your time. You can also go back to stages you have already cleared to try to get more Stars.The goal of each stage is to clear the section of its enemies. A gauge in the top or top-left of the HUD shows the progress you've made in each level along with the number of Stars you've collected. You can collect a maximum of three Stars per level. These Stars come from how quickly and efficiently you clear each level. More Stars will unlock later levels in Campaign Mode. When each level (called Streets) is cleared, you can advance to the next stage, restart the stage you just cleared, or go back to the main menu. If you are defeated in any stage, you may either return to the main menu, restart the stage, or [after watching a video] revive. If you choose to revive after being defeated, you can continue your progress without having to restart the level.
You are given commands to move your character and do various actions. The actions include punch, kick, jump, grab, and guard. The attack patterns are fairly basic. However, there are a few basic combo attacks you can use, such as punch-punch-punch-kick. If your character has built up enough offense during the course of a level, he/she will gain a temporary boost in offense. Use this to deal punishment to enemies faster.
One thing you want to be careful of is that you try to always face your enemies when attacking. There is a chance you may be punching and/or kicking and have to turn around to attack the enemy again. So make sure to always try to face your enemy and try not to be too aggressive in rushing attacks. Also be careful in watching where crates fall from the sky. There is a good chance a crate may randomly fall on you. So you may want to keep moving and try to avoid getting hit by the falling crates.
Now that you have a basic view of the game, it is time I offer a review based on my play. But first, here is one special note I'd like to make:
One Special Note...
This game is free-to-play, but there are ads strewn about. Usually after clearing each level, you are given an ad almost immediately after you claim your reward for clearing a level. You can remove these ads by paying a small one-time fee of $0.99 USD. If you want to play this game without the ads, it seems required to pay this small fee to enjoy this game without being bombarded with ads. Ads can still be displayed if you request to see them. This game is completely free-to-play, but it might as well be a paid game of $0.99 USD just to remove ads.Review time. Next section, please...
City Fighter vs. Street Gang: Final Thoughts
While its name may not sound appealing and while the game may seem basic, "City Fighter vs. Street Gang" is actually pretty fun. The game seems repetitive a lot of times, but it is not entirely boring. It does not have a very engaging storyline. Anyone expecting this game to be a serious throwback or something completely groundbreaking will be disappointed playing this game. If you are looking for a more than decent brawler that is plenty fun to play, you might want to give "City Fighter vs. Street Gang" a try. The biggest annoyance of this game is its repetitive ads. So if you do ANYTHING with this game, I recommend you pay the one-time fee to remove ads to this game. You will get through the game faster and more fluidly than if you let the ads stay.
I otherwise think this is a very good brawler. It isn't a great mobile-type brawler like "Fist Puncher" or "Fist of Awesome," but this game will occupy your time fairly well. This game can be completed fairly well without needing to spend real money to get a monetary boost. The graphics are quite good and with a fairly okay soundtrack. Nothing about "City Street vs. Street Gang" is anything fantastic. At the same time, though, it is not an entirely boring game. Do not expect this game to challenge legendary brawlers like the Final Fight series or the Streets of Rage series. It's sort of in the middle. I say give this game a chance.
