This is a side-scrolling beat 'em up where the player advances through streets, industrial areas, bridges, and other stages while fighting groups of attackers and bosses. Blade and Striker use punches, kicks, jump attacks, and picked-up weapons to clear enemies and maintain momentum. Progress is stage-based, with each area ending in a boss encounter that demands positioning, timing, and careful crowd control.
Blade
One of the two playable heroes, specializing in close-range martial arts attacks.
Striker
The second playable hero, fighting alongside Blade with similar core abilities.
President Ronnie
The kidnapped president who serves as the rescue target of the mission.
Dragonninja
The main antagonist leading the enemy forces and the game's central threat.
Keep moving to avoid being surrounded, and focus on enemies wielding weapons first. In boss fights, use jump attacks and short combos, then retreat before overcommitting. When you find a weapon, save it for dense enemy groups or tougher opponents rather than spending it immediately.
Tips and tricks
Use jump attacks to slip past front-line enemies and hit vulnerable targets behind them.
Tips and tricks
Pick up weapons only when the enemy layout makes them worth spending.
Tips and tricks
Against bosses, avoid greedy strings and play patiently to preserve health.
