In the third installment of the Streets of Rage series of beat'em'up games, Mr. X returns, planning to replace all public officials with his own robots. Only the old familiar heroes Axel, Blaze and Skate can stop him, supplemented by a new member of the team, Dr. Zan. Each of these characters now has a special strike available after filling up the rage gauge, which is different for each character. Newly, special attacks can also be performed with raised weapons from enemies. Dr. Zan turns all raised weapons into energy balls that he can throw at enemies. All characters can now run, which in the previous installment only Skate could. The game contains several endings that can serve as motivation for repeated play.
