The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A fast-paced, cooperative arcade brawler with punchy combat and a driving soundtrack that evokes classic 90s arcade energy.

What players say

Players hail Streets of Rage 2 as a top beat 'em up from the 1990s, praising its music and four playable characters. One reviewer misses the backup call from the first game, finding the new health-cost special move and tricky flying enemies less enjoyable.
