The player has a character roster of ten fighters to choose from, each with their own unique fighting style and special techniques.

In the later localized worldwide versions, Chaos and Titi have their names switched (similar to the rotation of the boss characters' names in Street Fighter II, probably done to avoid associations with the word "titty"), with Chaos being a Chinese vampire and Titi being an Egyptian princess.

In the PC Engine version, the other intro starts with the game's logo and a vocal song, then shows Jin putting on his headband and looks ahead of himself with birds flying by him, while Rachael and Goldor battle against each other.

At the end, Goldor casts his Gol Wave toward the pitch-black darkness missing his target Rachael, while the final boss, Salamander, fades in from it.

[9] The Japanese book PC Engine Complete Guide 1987-1999 gave the PC Engine Super CD-ROM² release a positive analysis, stating that "it's sober, but it's surprisingly playable", but they pointed out that the sprite size were smaller than the arcade original and the background and effects were simplified but noted the addition of new elements such as hidden techniques.
