Story

Duke Edwards and Billy King, two renowned New York City Police detectives, are hot on the trail of a dangerous Japanese crime syndicate. Their investigation has led them to the mean streets of Japan where they meet a police officer and martial arts expert named Ryu Saeba. Ryu agrees to join the NYPD detectives as they track down the crime syndicate bosses and end their reign of terror once and for all.

Gameplay Systems

Burning Fight follows a formula and concepts commonly seen in titles of this genre, such as Streets of Rage , Double Dragon and Final Fight : balanced character selection, objects and weapons found on the ground cause greater damage to opponents, and semi-interactive environments (players can damage objects like phone booths and street signs along the way). The game is set in a fictional version of Osaka city (during a train station scene the platform even shows an " Umida " station sign). The five levels must be completed (Casterora is the last enemy) to win the game.
