About This Game

Pioneered the 'beat 'em up RPG' subgenre with its money system, stat upgrades, and non-linear progression - influencing games like Scott Pilgrim vs. The World.

Features 30+ unique martial arts techniques purchasable through skill books, allowing deep combat customization.

Western localization dramatically altered the original Japanese version (Downtown Nekketsu Monogatari), changing character names and adding humorous Engrish dialogue.
