Gameplay
There are three playable characters in the game, each with their own levels of strength, agility and special moves: Ryu is quick but weak, Billy is slow but very strong, and Duke is a balanced attacker. This game uses elements that are very similar to Konami's Crime Fighters: balanced character selection, objects and weapons found on the ground cause greater damage to opponents, and semi-interactive environments (players can damage objects like phone booths and street signs along the way.) To its credit, there is one element in the game that is slightly different from crime fighters The game contains some mini-stages, where the player must defeat some enemies in a short period of time in order to win prizes. The setting is a fictional version of Osaka city (during a train station scene the platform shows a "Umida" station sign).

Most of the enemies are Japanese yakuza, but there are a few white bosses and mid-bosses (including two wrestlers that look like Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage), and the end boss is a Spanish or Italian man named Castella (Casterora in Japanese), '. Also, this game has no ending, no matter which character has been chosen. After defeating Castella, you are only shown various scenes of the game along with the credits, and finally a group picture of the main characters.
