Overview
A shadowy figure known only as Mr. Acme has hired seven hitmen to eliminate seven big-time art collectors - and then each other. Why, no one knows, but the exorbitant awards prove to be motivation enough. Strung along by Acme's manipulations, each of the well-trained assassins sets out to destroy the rest, and only one survivor will emerge victorious... to try and claim the final award from Acme himself.
The Outfoxies takes the one-on-one fighting game formula and injects it with a good dose of platform shooter. Characters range from the average joe to a handicapped martial arts master, a well-dressed chimp and a pair of evil twins, each with its own skills, pros and cons. Every stage is a multi-leveled arena where two contestants fight to the death (one player vs. the CPU, or two against each other), seen from a side view that smoothly zooms in and out to keep both players on screen. Scattered throughout the playfield are various weapons, from swords and guns to rocket launchers and flamethrowers, and even hot soup: anything can be used as long as it drains the opponent's lifebar.
