Knuckle Joe Set 2 is a classic 1985 arcade beat ’em up developed by Seibu Lease and published by Taito. You take on the role of Joe, a martial artist battling through side-scrolling stages filled with motorcycle gangs and street thugs. It stands out as one of the early pioneers of the brawler genre, offering a fast-paced mix of punches, kicks, and jumps across multiple varied environments.
How to Play
Your objective is to defeat all the enemies in each stage to advance, occasionally facing off against tougher bosses. Since this is an emulated arcade release, you will need to insert virtual coins before you can begin.
- Insert Coin: 5
- Start: 1
- Movement: Arrow Keys
- Attack Actions: Z, X, C (or Ctrl, Alt, Space)
Tips
- Use jumping attacks: Your high jump is extremely useful for avoiding enemy projectiles and executing flying kicks to close the distance.
- Control the crowd: Enemies will frequently try to surround you. Avoid getting pinned between attackers by keeping them grouped on one side of the screen.
