Introduce
Final Fight is a classic side-scrolling beat 'em up developed by Capcom and originally released in 1989. Players take on the role of one of three main characters: Haggar, a professional wrestler; Cody, Maya's boyfriend; and Guy, a martial artist. The main objective is to defeat the Mad Gear gang and rescue Metro City's mayor's daughter, Maya, from their clutches.
The gameplay of Final Fight focuses on direct, hand-to-hand combat. Players move their character through levels, defeating enemies with unarmed attacks, weapons picked up from the environment (such as pipes, baseball bats, wooden planks...), and special moves depending on the character. Each level presents different challenges, including facing various types of enemies, from regular thugs to powerful bosses with unique moves.
The game features a simple yet effective combo system, allowing players to perform chains of attacks to inflict maximum damage. Collecting and using weapons wisely is crucial to overcoming difficult levels. Players also need to manage their character's health, searching for recovery items to avoid being knocked out.
Final Fight stands out with its sharp pixel art graphics, vibrant sound, and addictive gameplay. The game delivers a classic, challenging, and enjoyable beat 'em up experience. The variety of characters, enemies, and weapons enhances the game's replayability, making players always want to explore and conquer new challenges.
