''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).

Burning Fight is a beat 'em up game created during the heyday of other similar games such as Capcom's Final Fight and Sega's Streets of Rage. Released by SNK in 1991, "Burning Fight" is a side-view fighting action game. Three detectives, Duke, Ryu, and Billy, play an active role in pursuit of the giant syndicate Castellara who fled from New York to Osaka. Each character fights by combining punches, kicks, and jumps, and by pressing the jump button and attack button at the same time, individually prepared special moves can be performed. Its Special Move is proud of its great destructive power, but it consumes physical strength, so use it only when it's time to do so. This work also supports simultaneous play by two players, but since each other's attacks will hit each other, be careful about the positional relationship with your friends during a turbulent battle.
Gameplay
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).
There are three playable characters, each with their own levels of strength, agility and special moves: Ryu is quick but weak, Billy is slow but very strong, and Duke is a more balanced hitter. One element that helps the game stand out from its competition is mini-stages, where the player must defeat some enemies in a short period of time in order to win prizes.
Antagonists are members of Heiwa-Gumi, a Japanese yakuza gang, though there are a few Caucasian bosses and mid-level bosses (including three wrestling characters, Tom Anderson, Gary Powell and the Mad Dilly, modelled after Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage), and the final boss is Italian mob boss Castella (Casterora in Japanese). Moreover, the game has no individual endings, no matter which character has been chosen. After defeating Castella, players are presented with various scenes of the game along with the credits, and finally a group picture of the main characters.

What they saw when they grabbed the information and flew to Japan was the appearance of the "Casterola Family" who teamed up with the criminal organization "Peace Group" that controls the night in Kansai and devastated the city of Osaka with their own faces. was. In Osaka, the two met a brilliant detective, "Ryu," who, like them, challenges the destruction of an organization by himself. However, the investigation is difficult due to the sneaky technique of diving through the law net. "I can't leave them alone anymore."
