Ghost Chaser Densei

Ghost Chaser Densei is a scrolling beat 'em up set in a city twenty minutes in the future. Players fight through a terrorist organization’s forces, facing waves of enemies and a unique boss at the end of each level.

Three playable characters are available: the martial artist Makai, the mace-wielding cat-girl Iyo, and the autonomous robot Belva. Each character has unique moves alongside attacking, jumping, blocking, throwing, and special abilities powered by a recharging special bar. Two-player games also feature team-up specials.

Enemy forces include armored soldiers, lizard men, and robots, with foes using different combinations of rushing attacks and projectiles. Brief orders and conversations provide the game’s limited story between its action-focused stages.
