Not sure anyone's heard of this game. But does anyone think this would be
playable? Judging by this faq, anyway...
STAGE 1-0, The Beginning [st1]
Start off by taking care of the two guys right in front of you. Remember to
dodge every now and then. A good formula to follow is three or four punches/
kicks followed by a Guard Breaker or a back flip to give yourself room before
they can counterattack or gang up on you. Two at a time isn't much of a
problem but feel free to do a 180 and run to make space. Afterwards, a fat
thug will charge out of a door. Take him out. On the right side of the
building with the crates is a thug with his back turned. He'll drop a wooden
plank you can use. Go inside the door he was guarding to find some crates
upstairs. (If you go in the bar first and then walk outside that door, Gene
will automatically run far enough away so the thug will miss him.)
In the open area next to the saloon, you'll see three guys ganging up on a
villager. If you stay in this area long enough, a statue will pop out of the
ground to the left. Punch it repeatedly to get a random item (usually a card
or fruit) or it will go back underground. Now save that poor man, but DO NOT
under any circumstances use God Roulette attacks around villagers. Gene won't
auto-target them even though his punches can still hurt them, but roulette
moves will most likely kill any and all villagers nearby in one hit. Villagers
are stupid; they will run to safety right through the middle of your fights!
After you clean up and take care of the two guys that pop out of the saloon,
enter the drug store behind you to find the guy if you didn't kill him. Saving
villagers keeps you from getting cash deductions at the ends of stages, and
they'll always give you an item in return.
Note the explosive red barrel near the saloon; you can use it on the three guys
inside. A demon will rise from the corpse of the guy sitting alone. These
demons are fierce opponents, being faster and stronger than normal foes. This
brand of demon (purple) loves to fight with its fists. It'll do a combo that
results in it lashing out with an extended arm, so back flip to safety. It
also has a long range attack, shooting fire balls at you. Sidestep back and
forth to avoid them. It will also try to teleport behind you, but Gene has a
Counter reaction command for this. By far, the easiest way to deal with demons
is to unleash the Godhand and clean up with combos afterwards. From now on,
these demons will spawn randomly so always keep a full tension gauge because
you never know when you'll encounter one. Some will even give up random
techniques for killing them. When you try to climb the stairs, two more
enemies will jump through the roof. Collect the spoils upstairs and head
outside.
The stable will open and three enemies appear. They won't stray far from the
stable so it's fun to run out and do dash attacks right into them repeatedly.
After clearing them out, check the right side of the other end of the stable
for a ladder you can climb to the roof. Raid the crates and hop back down.
The guy in front of the building by the stable has a pipe. Pick it up and go
left to find a guy with a hammer. Throw the pipe at him and steal his hammer.
Nice trade. Down the street is a fat guy sitting on a villager. Approach him
and three more will appear behind you. Do a 180 to get some breathing room but
watch for the villager as he runs away. That hammer you got should clear them
out quickly, but there is a very good chance that the fat thug will turn into a
demon. The villager will be in the green and white building. Break all the
barrels and such and move on.
From now on, after every stage you can save, continue, or enter the shop and
casino. (See the Shop/Casino section after the walkthrough for more info.)
After completing every major stage (i.e. - going from Stage 1 to 2), new
techniques, roulette moves, and power ups will be available in the shop.
