Gameplay
Solitary Fighter plays similarly to other beat 'em ups like Double Dragon, Renegade and River City Ransom, where the player can move in all eight directions in an arena fight. The player can punch, kick and jump in an enclosed arena. Players can combine jump with either punch or kick to perform stronger versions of either move, or combine punch and kick to duck attacks. Weapons are available, which have increased range and damage over normal attacks. Members of the audience can occasionally join and assist the player or their opponent.[3][4]
