​

+ 4-player fighting, intense and chaotic, many game modes, 2-plane fighting (see Fatal Fury), good art direction, makes good use of the sound chip

- Small sprites, a bit slow compared to SF2, several characters look and play too similarly, no in-game move list, doesn't really push the system in terms of colours used


Comment:
Growing up we used to play a 3-player fighting game called International Karate+ on a buddy's Amiga all the time, and we loved the sheer chaos of it. So when I discovered this game had the same feature I had to play it, and I was not disappointed. Matches are never as fair or precise as in SF2 or something, but the laughs from unintended results and the fun in temporary alliances make up for it.
