Streets of Rage

The original Streets of Rage was developed by Sega and was initially released in 1991. The beat 'em up game had co-op capabilities, an excellent techno soundtrack, and comparable gameplay to Golden Axe, another beat 'em up game from Sega. Two other Streets of Rage games were released in the '90s before the series seemingly ended. However, the franchise made a comeback in 2020 with the critically-acclaimed Streets of Rage 4.

Streets of Rage

What was once a happy, peaceful, productive city, has fallen into the hands of a secret criminal syndicate.
Looting, random violence and destruction are rampant. Nobody is safe. Despite repeated refusals by their superiors, three young police officers were determined to tackle the problem head on. Eventually they created a special attack unit the only way they could – they quit the force. Take control of one of the three ex-officers and make the city a place where people no longer have to walk the Streets of Rage™!
