A playthrough of Konami’s 1993 arcade beat ’em game, Violent Storm.
Played through as Wade on the game’s default difficulty setting.
Though Violent Storm isn’t formally considered part of any series, fans often regard it as the final game in an unofficial trilogy, following Crime Fighters ( ) and Vendetta ( ). It was also the last beat ’em up produced by Konami in the 90s.
1993 marked Konami at the peak of their prowess in creating 2D arcade games. Alongside Metamorphic Force ( ), Mystic Warriors ( ), Martial Champions ( ), and Monster Maulers ( ), Violent Storm is an impressive production that flexes the muscles of its hardware platform.
The quality of the art and animation is miles ahead of just about anything else of its time. The characters are huge, colorful, and they all animate smoothly
