Top Hunter - Roddy & Cathy (NGM-046)
SNK • 1994


Step into a vibrant sci-fi world in Top Hunter - Roddy & Cathy, a fast-paced platform fighter for two players from SNK. As bounty hunters Roddy and Cathy, you’re tasked with tracking down galactic pirates known as the Klaptons who are terrorizing planets across the cosmos. Gameplay revolves around navigating horizontally scrolling stages while battling waves of enemies – a unique mechanic allows players to shift between foreground and background planes to overcome obstacles and engage foes. Both characters possess special abilities like extending their arms to grab items, throw enemies, and reach higher ledges. Along your journey you'll find power-ups and temporary mech suits that provide increased strength. The game’s four elemental planets—Forest, Ice, Wind, and Fire—offer varied environments, with the order in which they are tackled affecting stage layouts, adding a layer of replayability. Fans of SNK fighting games will recognize familiar moves and combos inspired by titles like Fatal Fury - King of Fighters and Art of Fighting. After conquering all four planets, prepare for a final showdown against the Klapton bosses before confronting their leader, Captain Klapton.
