Play Burning Fight (Set 1) Online

Game Overview

Burning Fight is one of those classic Neo Geo beat 'em ups that feels like a time capsule from the arcade era. You pick between two street brawlers (or a third secret character if you know the trick) and punch your way through waves of thugs across city streets, subways, and docks. It’s got that satisfyingly chunky pixel art and over-the-top animations—like when you suplex a guy so hard his sunglasses go flying.

The controls are simple—just walk right and mash buttons—but there’s something weirdly addictive about the chaos. Enemies swarm you with knives and pipes, and you’ll occasionally grab a weapon of your own, though they break after a few hits. The bosses are ridiculous in the best way, especially the final showdown on a speeding truck. It’s not as polished as, say, Final Fight, but that rough-around-the-edges charm is part of the appeal.

Play it with a friend for maximum mayhem, just don’t expect deep mechanics. This is pure, dumb fun with a side of nostalgia.
