Vigilante is a 1989 fighting game available on the TurboGrafx-16 and PC platforms. The main objective of the game is to fight through multiple levels defeating waves of enemies to rescue a kidnapped woman. Players control a martial artist who must battle street gangs and bosses using various combat moves.
The game features a fast-paced combat system typical of side-scrolling beat 'em ups from the late 1980s. Its unique mechanic lies in the combination of punch and kick attacks with special moves executed by button combinations, allowing for fluid and varied fighting styles. Each stage culminates in a challenging boss fight that tests the player’s mastery of the controls.
Vigilante's unusual idea is its urban crime setting paired with smooth animations and responsive controls, setting it apart from other generic fighting games of its time. The distinctive art style and energetic soundtrack complement the intense street brawling atmosphere, making Vigilante a notable title in the TurboGrafx-16 fighting game lineup.
