Eight Man (NGM-025)(NGH-025)

Whether you are a first-time player of Eight Man or a nostalgic fan returning to this 1990s arcade classic, these tips will help you beat every stage and take down the final boss without wasting all your credits. First, pick the right character for your playstyle: if you are new to beat 'em ups, go for Eight Man, who has balanced speed, attack power, and a wide dash attack that hits enemies across almost half the screen. If you are a more experienced player, opt for Nine Lady, who has 20% faster movement speed and can chain combos faster, though her base attack power is slightly lower. Master the dash attack first: double tap left or right to dash, then press attack mid-dash to perform a piercing strike that cuts through entire groups of enemies, and can even dodge incoming laser or projectile attacks if timed right.

For stage-specific tips: in Stage 1's city level, watch for shadow indicators on the ground to avoid enemies jumping down from background buildings. In Stage 3's conveyor belt factory level, stay away from the edges of moving belts to avoid falling off and losing a chunk of health. When fighting the final space station boss, watch for the glowing red light on its chest: it will fire a full-screen laser 2 seconds after the light turns on, so move to the very top or bottom of the screen to avoid taking massive damage. If you are playing co-op with a friend, split roles: one player draws the boss's attention, while the other circles around to attack its
