Gameplay

Raging Fighter plays similarly to other 2D versus fighting games from the time of its release. The player's character fights an opponent in best two-out-of-three matches in a single player tournament mode with the computer or against another human player. However, unlike most modern fighting games released at the time, instead of three to six buttons, there are two buttons: one for punching, the other for kicking. Depending on what direction the player presses when punching or kicking, the player can throw a different punch or kick with different properties that would be useful in different situations.

For instance, there are three low kicks available if the player is crouching. Konami used this method to make the most of the Game Boy's two buttons.
