Play Renegade Online

Renegade came out for the Sega Master System, a game developed and published by Sega that arrived during the console's early life. It was part of that wave of arcade style brawlers that felt right at home on the system, offering a straightforward, action packed experience without much fuss. You got what you paid for: a direct port of a tough arcade fighter.

You control a lone martial artist, moving from screen to screen in a city setting. Your goal is to survive a gauntlet of street gangs and defeat the boss at the end of each stage. The combat relies on a few key moves; you punch, kick, and can execute a jumping attack or a back elbow strike to handle enemies swarming from both sides. Grappling is a signature mechanic, allowing you to grab an opponent and knee them repeatedly or throw them into other foes. The pacing is relentless, and the difficulty is sharp, demanding quick reflexes to avoid being cornered and overwhelmed. It feels raw and immediate, a test of your ability to stay on your feet under constant pressure.
