Renegade is a fighting game released in 1987 for the Nintendo NES. The game places players in the role of a lone street fighter who must battle through various gangs to rescue a kidnapped friend, making the main objective to defeat enemies across multiple levels and restore peace to the city.
The pace of Renegade is steady and methodical, focusing on close-quarters combat with a combination of punches, kicks, and throws. Its unique mechanic lies in the ability to pick up and use weapons found in the environment, such as bats or knives, adding variety to the hand-to-hand combat. This enhances strategic options during fights, requiring players to adapt to different enemy types and situations.
One unusual idea in Renegade is the multi-directional combat system, allowing attacks not just from the front but also from enemies approaching the player’s sides. This adds a distinctive layer of challenge and engagement, setting it apart from other fighters of its era.
