How it plays
How does Bad Dudes vs. Dragonninja play?
The game uses a side-scrolling perspective. Players move from left to right through stages, defeating groups of ninjas, soldiers, animals, and larger bosses before reaching the end-of-stage encounter.
Players can walk, jump, crouch, punch, kick, and use limited special attacks. Levels contain hazards and occasional weapons or power-ups, while progression is based on clearing each fixed stage rather than gaining character levels. One-player and two-player cooperative modes are available.
Plan your run
What is the best way to play Bad Dudes vs. Dragonninja?
Stay near the center of the screen so incoming enemies can be approached without being trapped at an edge. Use jumping attacks against clustered enemies, then crouch or move away when several opponents surround you.
Save special attacks for dense groups and bosses. In two-player mode, keep the fighters on opposite sides of an enemy group only when both players can retreat; careless separation makes one character vulnerable to off-screen attacks.
