This game has some killer boss battles that still get my blood pumping! The soundtrack is an absolute banger – I'm still jamming to it years later. Despite being basic and repetitive, if you love a good challenge and a catchy beat, give it a try.

A very basic and rather repetitive brawler. That said, a game where you can kick eagles so hard that they shatter can't be all bad.

El tradicional juego de artes marciales que todos los sistemas de los 80 debían tener. Beat'em up de scroll lateral, muchísimo más accesible y entretenido que My Hero, con unas batallas 1 contra 1 con los jefes bastante chulas para la época.

La versión japonesa es una adaptación de "El puño de la estrella del norte" con otros sprites, otra música y un poco más difícil que la versión occidental (no hay powerups para recuperar vida)

I played the Japanese version, Hokuto no Ken, as I'm a fan of the manga. While I had a hard time controlling Kenshiro and attacking foes, this game seems promising if I put more time into it. I watched a long play on youtube, and the game is very satisfyingly close to the major events of the manga. I'm no good at it now, and thus I have not played very far into the game, but I'd say what I've played was decently enjoyable, and I must commend the rest of the game I've seen for its accuracy.

I wonder how many people figured out the weaknesses of the later bosses without watching the Hokuto no Ken anime this western localization removed the license of, to know from beforehand that for example, the guy that replaces Souther here (the boss of chapter 5) needs to be hit in the back to damage him

A solid yet simple sidescolling brawler. Very basic in terms of everything but a fun game for what it is. Comparable to kung fu but lacks the significance that kung fu brought to the scene. Was originally a Fist of the North star game before being localized and thats pretty cool. Would of been much cooler if they didnt change the name though.
