Gameplay
As in Final Fight, the player has to walk sideways and fight bad guys for several stages. Next to the general food-health supplies, the player can also pick up weapons like sticks, guns, grenades and such. A special "Angry Mode" gives injured fighters a burst of energy.
It is the only known SNES game that features the Japanese version on the same cartridge, accessible through use of a cheat code. The Japanese version of the game features different character names, no maze-like stages, an expanded ending sequence and the addition of a groin kick move for playable character Douglas Bild.
Characters
The player can choose from one of five characters. These are the names of the characters for the American game, with the Japanese names right next to them:

The remaining characters thereafter (or, rather, clones of them per the Japanese storyline) will be chosen as bosses for the first three levels. The remaining level ends with a battle against the final boss, Dieter/Iceman, a martial artist with an extendable and flexible staff.
Reception
Nintendo Magazine System gave this "outstanding beat' em up which suffers on a few minor accounts" an overall score of 84%.
