Vigilante

Developer: Irem

Vigilante is a gritty, side-scrolling brawler that channels classic arcade muscle and urgency. You play a lone street fighter who punches, kicks and uses pick-up weapons as you storm neon-soaked neighborhoods, subway cars and rooftop gauntlets to confront tough minibosses and towering stage bosses. Tight controls, sparse lives and relentless enemy waves make each run a test of timing and pattern recognition. The game’s bold sprites, punchy sound and unforgiving difficulty evoke coin-op nostalgia while rewarding careful play and quick reactions—perfect for fans of old-school, fast-paced arcade beat-'em-ups.
