Veteran Combat

Veteran Combat is a 2D side-scrolling arcade fighting game set among a small military unit from the 1940s. You fight through a tournament of twelve scenes and must defeat fifteen opponents to convince the other members of the team that you are in charge.

Characters and arenas

You can choose from twelve characters, including Igor the grenadier, Julia the nurse, Captain Ballast the sailorman, Dr. Bloodpressure the field surgeon and Natasha the spy. Three hidden main opponents also await you.

Fights take place across twelve locations, including the wings of a plane in flight, the top of a moving train and the heights of a viaduct. The scenes have music with a 1940s atmosphere, from smoky pubs to dubious piers. The visuals resemble old black-and-white films, and the characters are digitalized.

Fighting

You can use punches, kicks and combo movements. Hidden key combinations unlock ten kinds of extra attacks and other moves, with options peculiar to almost every character. The game also includes humor and eventful scenes.
