Publisher: Sega
Released: 1991
Running Battle is a beat-em-up that's exclusive to the Sega Master System.
- Beat-em-up action is maddening, as your short attack range means you'll typically take damage before landing a blow.
- Level design is embarrassing as entire sections are repeated throughout all stages, and the character sprite work is poor.
- Similar to Karate Kid (1987, NES), you can bypass huge chunks of the game by simply jumping over enemies.
- Life / weapon icons frequently appear over perilous gaps, and the only way to obtain them is to lose a life.
- Doesn't allow you to use weapons against bosses, and the all-too-brief adventure can be beaten in around ten minutes.
- Intro story text doesn't stay on-screen long enough, and the anticlimactic endings don't even include a credits sequence.
