Tecmo Knight (known in Japan as Wild Fang) is a 1989 Beat 'em Up arcade game released by Tecmo (well, no doy).In a medieval-inspired fantasy village, hordes and hordes of hostile Beast Men terrorize the local population, and it's up to the legendary Tecmo Knight, a warrior in control of an ogre and a tiger with the ability to summon dragons with an enchanted orb, to take on the beast men army before confronting Deglomes, the powerful eldritch monster controlling the beast people.In case the premise doesn't spell it out, this game is equal parts Gorntastic and incredibly fun. Each and every single onscreen enemy killed is reduced to piles of spilled giblets, and the Tecmo Knight collects power-ups and extra lives from the leftover skulls of enemies killed. It's likely one of the most impressively violent (and entertaining) game from this particular genre.

Continue Countdown
 Tecmo Knight (Video Game) / int_30882a05
comment
Continue Countdown: Run out of lives, and the game shows you the player character trapped in the jaws of a nondescript monster, desperately trying and failing to prop them open to keep from being eaten. As the timer gets lower, the monster's jaws slowly close more and more, with the poor hero screaming at the count of 2. If it runs out, the game over screen has a mook taunt the player with a cry of "NO FUTURE!".

Recurring Boss: The King Kong Copy sub-boss that attacks you between stages needs to be fought several times. The two eagle-men boss you kill at the end of the first stage comes back as another Mini-Boss in the last.

Snake People: The second stage's boss is a pair of snake-women towering above your heroes, their lower halves being the tails of some massive serpentine behemoth. They attack by laying eggs which bounce around the area until exploding.

Aim for the Horn: How Deglomes the Final Boss is defeated - after you inflict enough damage on the heart, you'll target the head, and use the "grab" move to rip his horn off killing him immediately.

comment
Breath Weapon: Some of the beast-men enemies, like the crocodile-men who can breathe short streams of flames. Deglomes on the other hand can breath his floating fireballs all over the arena, making it difficult to touch his exposed heart and head. For the heroes, one of the steeds the player can summon is a dragon which breathes energy blasts. It kills most mooks in a single shot and deals impressive damage on bosses, but needs to be used sparingly.

 Tecmo Knight (Video Game) / int_7e6c0522
comment
Off with His Head!: Every. Single. Enemy. (and most of the bosses) lose their heads upon defeat, either from getting your flail in their faces too many times or getting clawed by your steeds. You can also execute a Finishing Move (with the "grab" button) that have you wringing their craniums off the necks, which instantly kills weaker enemies.

Eldritch Abomination: Deglomes is a giant minotaur-esque monster whose upper body is just a mess of exposed organs and lumps of flesh randomly pasted together. You can only hurt him by hitting his heart, located outside his body.

 Tecmo Knight (Video Game) / int_8c97cf66
comment
Stationary Boss: Deglomes, scary as he looks, couldn't really move about since he's just half a body tethered to the ground with various internal organs exposed. The difficulty of the fight comes from trying hit his only weak point, his exposed heart and then his horns, while avoiding his extendable claws and fiery breath, which he spams almost nonstop.

Artificial Stupidity
 Tecmo Knight (Video Game) / int_940a5958
comment
Artificial Stupidity: It's probably intentional, since your enemies are, well, beast-men not known for being smart, but every now and then the game will throw exploding obstacles that blows up with a single touch and damage everything in it's exploding radius, both AI-controlled enemies and your players. Very frequently, enemies will purposely run into these obstacles and blow themselves up, even if you're on the other side of the screen and nowhere close to the explosion. And then there's areas containing Bottomless Pits which sometimes lesser enemies will walk off to their deaths at random.

Wings Do Nothing: The Birdmen bosses have tiny, pathetic-looking wings which only allow them to float a little, but you can still knock them down by jumping combined with punching and kicking. Their flight barely gives them an advantage over you during battle.
