About

Dynamite Dux is a cutesy early brawler from Sega. It's the only beat 'em up that completely lacks human characters, and also the only one with a stage progress bar. Its unusual combat engine is defined by charge attacks, one-hit enemies, and heavy emphasis on projectiles.

Dynamite Dux is an oddity. Its offbeat combat emphasizes projectile attacks and ammo-based projectiles, and its setting is one-of-a-kind. The wacky enemy designs stole the show for me. It's worth playing for the creativity, but it's too shallow and short to really satisfy.
