How to play

Streets of Rage is a side-scrolling beat 'em up where players progress through various stages, fighting waves of enemies. You choose from three distinct characters: Axel Stone (balanced), Blaze Fielding (fast, agile), and Adam Hunter (strong, slower). Each character has basic attacks (punch/kick combos), a jump attack, and a unique special move that clears the screen of enemies, at the cost of a small amount of health. Players can pick up various weapons like pipes, knives, and baseball bats to gain an advantage. The game features environmental hazards and bosses at the end of each stage. A key element is the co-operative two-player mode, allowing friends to team up and coordinate attacks against the syndicate. Mastering combos, weapon usage, and strategic special move deployment is crucial for survival.
