Streets of Rage Remake

Streets of Rage Remake is a fan-remake of the original Streets of Rage trilogy, with usage of gameplay mechanics and original tone from the series combined with additions not previously present in the original games. The game was particularly large with the inclusions of many playable characters, gameplay stages, and remixes of official soundtracks from the original Streets of Rage games. The fan project first began on March 17, 2003, and was worked on by more than 20 people.

The fangame aimed to remain loyal to the original series with responsive gameplay, consistent tone of the original games, and remixes of their soundtracks to evoke nostalgic responses from returning players while being distinct. The fangame includes 19 playable characters, most of whom were from the original trilogy, including hidden characters.

Streets of Rage Remake also contains gameplay features not originally present in the original games, such as new power-ups, bonus levels, an in-game shop to purchase items, and alternate level paths that players can choose from. The remake additionally includes cut content from the official games, like the previously scrapped motorcycle stage gimmick found in the codes of Streets of Rage 3.
