Hokuto no Ken: Fist of the North Star is an action game released in 1990 for the Game Boy platform. Players control Kenshiro, the protagonist, navigating through various stages while battling enemies using martial arts techniques inspired by the original manga and anime series.
The main objective of the game is to advance through levels by defeating foes and overcoming obstacles, ultimately aiming to restore peace in a post-apocalyptic world. The gameplay maintains a steady pace, mixing exploration with combat sequences that require timing and strategic use of attacks.
A distinctive feature of Hokuto no Ken: Fist of the North Star is its use of special martial arts moves that allow players to target specific enemy pressure points, a mechanic that reflects the source material’s unique fighting style. This adds a layer of depth beyond typical beat-em-up action, offering a blend of tactical strikes and traditional side-scrolling combat elements.
