Street Cleaner 3

A fantastic action-platformer built with retro aesthetics and modern design. The new characters are a blast to play, especially Honoko with her quick movements and martial-arts combos (although whip-wielding, Castlevania-inspired Cogex is fun too). The tightly designed boss fights and platformer sequences make it consistently fun from start to finish - and the "finish" isn't really the finish, as there's a whole new mystery to solve once you're "done." I strongly recommend this, especially if you're a fan of Castlevania, the NES Batman, Vice: Project Doom, and other classic action games (and not just because they asked nicely to use my podcast's logo for the arcade in level 4).

We might never see Street Cleaner 2 on Steam, but fortunately Creaky Lantern secured the rights to the third game! https://youtu.be/oMAQr4cvj48 If you’d prefer to watch my review, click the link above. Street Cleaner 3 follows the tradition of classics like Castlevania 3 and Ninja Gaiden 3, balancing nostalgia with new characters and a pinch of gameplay variety. There’s more action-platforming goodness, more enemies to pogo off of, an annoying boss fight with the Red Dragon Demolisher, and we finally get a stage where we’re riding Street Cleaner’s bike. Cogex is back as a playable ally, rocking a Castlevania-style whip. And Honoko is here to convince you that you can speedrun even though you can’t. I can’t, anyway. I get so greedy with her rolls. A couple of minor updates make a world of difference from the first game. There’s now a dedicated dropkick button for Street Cleaner’s pogo. And the damage animation for enemies has been updated to be more satisfying. They’re small things, but they make me so happy. If you’re not good at action platformers, there’s a slew of accessibility features to let you enjoy the game. Your doggy cone of shame is in knowing that you could earn the achievements if you play without Accessibility. There may not have been a third Street Cleaner movie here in the Berenstain timeline, but the the tropes are here in force. Cogex has turned over a new leaf thanks to the power of friendship (or something). Honoko is the obligatory fanboy crush whose ambiguously Asian heritage will leave fans debating whether she’s Japanese or not. And Wu-Fang has now been promoted to main antagonist because his actor needed a paycheck and the budget couldn’t afford a top name actor this time around. As for what’s really keeping Street Cleaner 2 off of Steam? I heard M.R. Boss purchased the rights and locked the only known copy of the game away in his vault.

There's a lot of heart and soul poured into this game, as well as a kick ass soundtrack. Give it a try, it's highly worth your time and full of secrets to discover.

Bro, this game is amazing, this is a must play. The first play through is a tease. Must continue to play to unlock more content ^.- Brings me back to the NES. The Music is fire. I'm currently still playing through the game, finally found all the secret phones ect. Currently Fighting the final boss on hard. You will not be disappointed with your purchase check my stream out if you would like @ rumble https://rumble.com/v6qybke--street-cleaner-3-pt-3-jack-slade-rises-again.html The story is immersive, please play the first street cleaner, its worth playing the first street cleaner prior <3

The street cleaner's bizzare adventure. It feels like the game has a simple goal - a stellar 3-4 hour adventure, with ability to play for 20 hours ("true ending" hunt, hard mode, solo character mode, 1hit mode, and even a //spoiler// mode) if you enjoy the first playthrough. The game has a great flow to it. Aesthetically it mixes simple "mundane" enemies like rats, girls with guns, batman's flamethrower guys with absolutely wild stuff. Suddenly skull turrets on the road, sewers infested with ninjas, every single boss and miniboss is just peak cinema. The soundtrack is amazing on it's own, but when played ingame it augments the whole experience to the next level. I've made fond memories of not wanting to deal with enemy punk attitude and just shooting them in the face with a gun. I've made fond memories of not wanting to deal with enemies and blitzing past through them with i-frame rolls with girl character (iframes for days, rapid attack for stuns). I've made fond memories of not wanting to deal with hazards and just belmont walking on spikes/shock/fire with the whip guy. There are no upgrades, yet there are plenty of cool secrets to find. So I explored not for optimisation, but cause it's just cool to discover all the extra phone numbers. There's a high degree of competence and artistry on display here. The presentation, the fundamentals (all three characters have different attacks, different movement and different dodge mechanics), the level design all make for an extremely authentic experience. My hat's off to you. Bought OST as well.

Absolutely amazing. A tough as nails retro adventure with tons of replayability. and of course the soundtrack is incredible!

Takes me back to the days when I was playing the NES in the basement at my mom’s. It combines the gameplay of my two favorite games, Castlevania and Ninja Gaiden! After finishing Street Cleaner 1, I feel like this game really ramps up the fun factor. The three playable characters give you a lot of control over how you want to approach the gameplay. The soundtrack is also banging! If you want to relive those NES days or just discover an awesome new old-school game, you should definitely give it a try!

Creaky Lantern knocked it out of the park once again! Amazing soundtrack, phenomenal bosses & very cool secrets. Thank you so much!

This game is perfect! It takes everything that the first one did spectacularly and it revs the engine 3 fold. Hard mode is my jam!

Fun game, wish there more stages. The soundtrack was awesome.
