Our Expert Score

74/100

Burning Fight is SNK’s answer to Final Fight, and it’s a gloriously gritty beat-'em-up. It doesn't have the complexity of later brawlers, but it has a raw arcade energy that is very infectious. Punching your way through 90s Osaka, smashing phone booths, and picking up giant hams to regain health—it’s the peak beat-'em-up experience. It’s simple, satisfying, and very cathartic.

The mobile port is solid, with responsive virtual buttons and excellent sound quality. Like most ACA ports, it’s best enjoyed with a friend. The difficulty can be high, with enemies swarming from both sides, but the unlimited credits and save states make it a fun afternoon brawler rather than a frustrating chore. It’s a great slice of arcade history for fans of the genre.

Tips

Crowd Control

When surrounded, use the 'A+B' special move. It costs a small amount of health but knocks down every enemy around you, giving you breathing room to reposition and start a new combo.

Gameplays

Using the Environment

Almost everything in the background can be smashed. Look for barrels and crates to find weapons like pipes or knives, which significantly increase your reach and damage against the larger elite enemies.
