A Mortal Kombat knockoff from Japan. One thing it has going for it is that the sprites are huge. As in, Art of Fighting huge. Back in 1993, screenshots of this would have impressed a lot of people, and seeing in it motion...let's just say this game has a very distinct presentation. Gameplay-wise, it's a total mess, up there with Angel Eyes.

Balance is pretty much nonexistent. Poor Tasha, the ninja girl, only has a dragon punch and nothing else. Meanwhile, Mongo has way more special moves than everyone else, including a move where he drops a bunch of bombs on the opponent, taking off almost half of the opponent's lifebar if they're unlucky! There's also Gunner's 100% gun combos, Hanna's strange ability to throw anyone even if they're far away, and Hiryu pretty much says "screw this game's rules, I'm a ninja. And not one of those one special move ninjas either!"

It's not a particularly good game, but the jank was entertaining for a playthrough to the point where I had to give it at least 2 stars.

Every character has 2 or 3 inputs and then there's one french dude with a gun called Mongo that has 8 different projectiles.

Melhor jogo que ja joguei no Fightcade, main Mongo e Gunner, zerei com 15 saves no ultimo boss, recomendo pra qualquer um fodase joga ae
