Vigilante

Developer: Irem

Vigilante throws you into gritty, street-level brawling with relentless side-scrolling action and arcade-style pacing. Players punch, kick and use simple weapons to push through gangs and neon-lit stages, meeting tougher minibosses and a larger showdown at each level’s end. Its straightforward controls and unforgiving difficulty capture the charm of late-’80s coin-op design, offering quick runs, score-chasing and muscle-memory learning. Perfect for fans of old-school beat ’em ups, Vigilante delivers bite-sized levels, throwback pixel audio-visuals and a satisfying sense of progression as you fight to clean up the streets.
