Dragoon Might

is a 2D competitive fighting game produced by Konami and released as a coin-operated video game in August 1995.

Gameplay

''Dragoon Might'' features two distinct game modes. A single match mode in which the player must defeat their opponents in round-based matches, and a team match mode similar to ''The King of Fighters'' series in which two teams of three members must battle each other until the members of one team are all defeated.

Like most fighting games, special moves are performed by inputting a specific series of directional commands and/or buttons. The game features a unique type of special moves known as "Bomber Moves" (aka "Super Attacks" in the US version), which can deliver greater damage than standard special moves in exchange of some of the player's vitality. These moves act like those from most beat 'em up games and are performed by pressing all three punch buttons. There are also "Super Bomber" moves (also called "Final Attacks" in the US version) which can only performed while the player's vitality gauge is flashing. The player can also jump unto trees or cranes to avoid attacks by pressing all three kick buttons. The player can attack an opponent who is lying on the ground, as well as do an emergency escape roll when his/her character is knocked to the ground.

Characters

''Dragoon Might'' features a total of twelve selectable characters, as well as a non-playable final boss during the game's single-player mode. The story centers around a mythical relic known as the Dragon Medallion that will grant its collector one wish. The Medallion has been broken into thirteen fragments that has subsequently come into the possession of each main character, including the final boss, who must fight each other for their fragments until one of them collects all thirteen of them. Once the player defeats all eleven rival characters, he/she must defeat the final boss in order to unite the Dragon Medallion and see his/her character's good wish granted.
