How it plays
Choose one of the available hunters and fight through side-scrolling stages with punches, kicks, weapons, and environmental objects. Defeat poachers, protect the animals encountered in the route, and use dropped items to control groups of enemies. The simple attack structure makes spacing and weapon timing more important than long combo input sequences.
Plan your run
Keep enemies grouped in front of the hunter, pick up a weapon when it provides safer reach, and avoid being surrounded from both sides. Use the environment and animal encounters to create breathing room, then save health for the later waves and boss fights.
Growl is Taito's 1991 Sega Genesis beat-'em-up adaptation of the 1990 arcade game. The story places the player among hunters opposing poachers who are capturing animals. The Genesis version keeps the close-range action focus while presenting a one-player home-console experience.
