The Death and Return of Superman is a fighting game released in 1994 for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Players engage in one-on-one battles featuring characters from the iconic Superman comic book storyline. The main objective is to defeat opponents through a series of rounds using various attacks and special moves.
The game maintains a steady pace typical of fighting games from the era, focusing on strategic use of each character’s unique abilities. A distinctive mechanic involves utilizing different Superman-related characters, each with their own fighting style and special powers, which adds variety to the combat experience. Players can select from a roster including Superman, Doomsday, and other iconic heroes and villains.
An unusual idea in this title is its direct adaptation of a specific comic book arc, allowing players to experience the narrative through gameplay. This approach combines fighting mechanics with a storyline-driven progression. The game’s pixel art and faithful character designs contribute to its distinctive retro aesthetic.
