Streets of Rage 2: SOR2 - The Return of the Fighters 2018 is a ROM hack for the Sega Genesis that allows players to control the SOR3 versions of Axel, Blaze, Skate, and Shiva. Set as a fan-fictional sequel to Streets of Rage 3, the game features balanced character abilities, new moves, and a cooperative narrative where Axel and Shiva unite against Mr. X and his Syndicate. Enhanced gameplay mechanics include easier combos and direct access to Mania difficulty.
Overview:
*This hack allows the player to play as the SOR3 version of Axel, Blaze, Skate, and Shiva in SOR2. Unlike the previous works of the author, this hack does not feature extremely powerful playable characters. The power of the playable characters is approximately the same as the original SOR2.
*The story is a fan-fictional sequel of Streets of Rage 3. The brain in SOR3 was merely a clone of Mr. X. The real Mr. X finally returned to the city. All the Syndicate thugs were summoned, except Shiva, who had become a state witness after the event of SOR3.
*With Dr. Zan's effort, Shiva joined Axel's team. The two rivals finally work together to save the city.
