Freddy Hardest in Manhattan South

Freddy Hardest in South Manhattan is a side-scrolling beat ’em up set in a dangerous future New York City, where thugs patrol the streets and attack civilians. Players control Freddy Hardest as he battles through encounters using punches and kicks.

The game is known for its high difficulty. Freddy has a single life and an energy bar that decreases when he is hit, though energy can be restored by finding a safe place to stand still.
