The Fallen

You control a lone fighter, moving left and right through side-scrolling urban levels. The moment-to-moment play is simple: you walk into groups of enemies and fight. You have a basic punch, a flipping kick, and a reverse kick, each mapped to its own key. The objective is just to clear each stage by defeating everyone in your path. There's a slight rhythm to it, learning when to use a kick to knock someone back or a punch for a quicker strike. The pacing is brisk, and the difficulty comes from the sheer number of foes that swarm you at once. It feels like a quick, uncomplicated brawl against a relentless crowd.
