Riot City is a 1991 fighting game designed for the Arcade Machine. As a side-scrolling beat 'em up, the game places players in the role of vigilantes aiming to clean up the crime-ridden streets of a fictional city. The main objective is to progress through various urban environments while defeating waves of enemies using martial arts and improvised weapons.
The pace of Riot City is fast and action-packed, requiring quick reflexes and strategic use of attacks. A unique mechanic in the game is the ability to pick up and use environmental objects as weapons, adding a layer of tactical choice during fights. This feature encourages players to adapt dynamically to their surroundings to overcome stronger foes.
Riot City stands out for its cooperative gameplay, allowing two players to team up simultaneously to take on the criminal underworld. The game's distinctive pixel art style and energetic soundtrack complement the intense fighting sequences, making it a notable title among early 1990s arcade fighting games.
