Streets of Rage

Developer: Sega

Streets of Rage delivers old-school side-scrolling beat 'em up action on the Sega Mega Drive, pitching players into gritty urban streets to brawl through gangs, minibosses, and towering end-level bosses. Choose from distinct characters, each with unique moves and special attacks, and team up locally for cooperative mayhem. Combat is simple to pick up but demands timing, positioning, and smart use of limited specials to survive higher difficulty stages. Memorable tunes, chunky pixel combat, and escalating challenge evoke arcade thrills while rewarding pattern learning and teamwork for satisfying, replayable runs.
