The Syndicate has absorbed the city's government and even has the city's police in their pocket. Crime is rising rapidly, and no one is safe walking the streets, day or night. Three police officers, Adam Hunter, Axel Stone, and Blaze Fielding, repeatedly try to make a task force to counter and resist the Syndicate, but with their superiors either bought out and bribed by the Syndicate or too fearful to stick their necks out, nothing is done. ============================================================= GAMEPLAY ============================================================= Streets of Rage is a beat 'em up featuring aspects of Double Dragon and Final Fight. Players act as Adam, Axel, or Blaze, who save Wood Oak City from being overtaken by a criminal syndicate led by Mr. X. The three traverse eight levels and all have a total of 40 moves, such as headbutts, backslams, and reverse kicks. Surrounding the landscape are weapons that can be used to attack enemies, such as knives, glass bottles, pipes, and baseball bats, and food items that increase energy, such as apples and chicken. ============================================================= Timecode: ============================================================= 00:00 Intro
