The good news is that there are plenty of tools at your disposal and crowd control isn’t as difficult as you may be led to believe as when you’re surrounded by multiple enemies at close range, the grapple attacks you perform will differ from attacks you perform against a single target to allow you to better control the crowd with a double attack. At first you may find the game to be pretty straightforward in difficulty but after about 5 missions, the difficulty escalates a ton and you really have to start thinking more carefully about how you want to approach enemies. You have a decent variety of strikes and grapples on offer as well as an evasive maneuver to avoid enemy attacks but utilizing these abilities properly is essential if you want to survive in the later portions of the game. So let’s cut to the chase and get straight into the combat mechanics, they’re so simple that anyone can pick up and play the game with ease but believe me, you’re gonna need to learn them fast because this game doesn’t pull its punches in its difficulty. Maybe it’s because the story of Urban Reign is so forgettable due to the fact that there are barely any cutscenes, just a narration before every fight to explain the context but who on earth cares about that, I wanna see some action! Now I’ve played numerous 3D beat em ups and I can safely say that Urban Reign has the greatest hand to hand combat in a 3D beat em up I have ever experienced and yes I even think that this game manages to surpass even God Hand in this department, yet unlike God Hand which has a dedicated cult following, Urban Reign gets ignored. It’s weird how hand to hand beat em ups used to be really popular in the 90’s with games like Streets Of Rage and Final Fight but when they became 3D, people lost interest for some reason. There are a lot of noteworthy weapon based combat games in the 3d beat em up genre but aside from God Hand, most hand to hand combat games tend to get ignored by a lot of people.
