How it plays

How does Violent Storm play?

Players move through horizontally scrolling stages, defeating groups of enemies before advancing to the next area. Each character has a different balance of speed, power, reach, and attack range.

The standard arcade controls use an eight-way joystick and attack and jump buttons. Players can combine movement, normal attacks, jump attacks, throws, and environmental weapons. Progression is stage-based, with tougher enemy formations and boss encounters leading to the final confrontation.

Plan your run

What is the best way to play Violent Storm?

Stay mobile and avoid allowing enemies to surround the character. Prioritize enemies carrying weapons or projectiles, then use throws and corner pressure to control groups.

In two-player games, attack from opposite sides and avoid striking the other player during crowded encounters. Save any useful weapon for enemy waves or bosses, where repeated direct attacks can be risky.
