Blah sort of FINAL FIGHT without the actual levels-- this pretty much cuts straight to boss fight after boss fight. Pretty dull, huh? It is-- though the fighters you can choose from (starting with 3, then later you can choose from 2 bosses that decide to join your cause!) do have some amusing moves. The fighters are wrestlers who used to belong to a dirty gang, and want to right past wrongs by taking out said gang. The basic moves for the characters are moving down from above or up from below an enemy to grab them and press attack button to hurt them while grappling, jump kicking (a quick turn around and jump kick is often very useful taking out opponents that try sneak attacks), and hold both jump and kick together for a special attack that slightly drains your energy. These are fairly amusing, especially the Elvis-like wrestler's special move; he busts out a guitar, shreds a bit, and causes harm to the enemy! The 2nd mode skips a bit of dialogue and cuts to the boss fights quicker. Pretty dull fighting game created by Toaplan, who was more famous for their shoot-em-ups; they should have stuck with what they were good at. Suggested by YouTube user Paul Contreras.
