About This Game
The game pioneered multi-directional wall jumps years before similar mechanics became standard in platformers.
Players switch between a primary weapon (nunchaku/sword) and secondary projectile (shuriken/firebombs) with dedicated buttons.
Stages recreate iconic Shanghai locations including opium dens and dockyards, with branching paths and hidden areas.
Its 'combo meter' system rewarded chained attacks with score multipliers, influencing later beat 'em up titles.
