Gekido Advance: Kintaro's Revenge is a 2D beat 'em up game, a continuation of Gekido . The main hero is Tetsuo from the previous game - he returned to his sensei's house and now must liberate the village from demons.
The gameplay involves exploring nonlinear levels, where players don't just follow a straight path. Tetsuo often needs to find keys or talk to specific characters to progress. The rest of the game consists of fighting various demons using basic attacks like kicking and punching, as well as special magic. Players may also need to jump on narrow platforms in some sections.
Gekido Advance: Kintaro's Revenge features 2D graphics and anime-style cut scenes, setting it apart from standard beat-em up games.
