Streets of Rage 3

Streets of Rage 3 is the third installment in the classic side-scrolling beat 'em up series, featuring Axel, Blaze, Skate, and newcomer Dr. Zan as they take on a sinister plot by the Syndicate involving robots and city-wide chaos. The game introduces faster-paced gameplay, expanded movesets, branching story paths, and multiple endings. It also adds new mechanics like weapon durability and character-specific abilities. With a more experimental soundtrack by Yuzo Koshiro and Motohiro Kawashima, Streets of Rage 3 pushes the series into darker and more complex territory while retaining its iconic brawler action.
