Darkwing Duck

Darkwing Duck is a 1992 Capcom platformer based on the Disney animated series. It was built on the Mega Man engine, so the controls are precise and responsive and the bosses stay with you for a long time.

Story

The criminal organization F.O.W.L. led by Steelbeak is running wild in St. Canard. On orders from S.H.U.S.H., Darkwing Duck has to deal with its allies one by one, Quackerjack, Megavolt, Liquidator, Bushroot and others, and then with Steelbeak himself.

Features

• Gas gun is the main weapon. It can be upgraded with heavy gas, arrows and thunder bolts.
• Shield: hiding behind his cape, the hero deflects enemy projectiles.
• Hook: Darkwing can grab ledges and pull himself up.
• Choose the order of stages, just like in Mega Man.

Controls

• Arrow keys move
• Z A button
• X B button
• Enter Start
• Space Select

You can remap the keys in the emulator settings, and on a phone an on-screen gamepad appears.

Press up near a ledge to grab it and down to block with the cape.

Tips

• Gas canisters for special weapons are limited, so do not waste them on small enemies.
• The arrow works great against most bosses because it hits several times in a row.
• Block with the cape during boss attacks: the shield stops almost every projectile.
