Ever get that itch to just lay the smack down on some pixelated punks? Streets of Rage is your digital itch-scratcher, a side-scrolling beat 'em up that's pure, unadulterated cathartic joy. Forget your mindfulness apps, this is rage therapy at its finest!
Look, let's be real: sometimes you just need to unleash. Streets of Rage lets you do that without any real-world consequences. Pick your fighter – Axel, Blaze, or Adam – each with their own flavor of face-punching goodness. Grind through wave after wave of goons, from mohawked maniacs to dominatrixes who are definitely packing more than just attitude. Pull off sick combos, call in the police backup for some OP screen-clearing action, and feel that sweet, sweet dopamine hit with every KO. Plus, the soundtrack? Legendary! It's the perfect rage-quit antidote (unless you rage-quit because you keep dying, then, uh...good luck with that).
Controls are tighter than your grandma's grip on her purse. Move with the D-pad (or analog stick, you fancy pants), and use the buttons to punch, kick, and unleash special moves. Master the art of the jump kick – it's clutch in a tight spot. Learn the enemy attack patterns, and don't be afraid to spam those special moves when the situation gets hairy. Two players? Even better! Double the fists, double the fun, double the carnage!
