The game is an action platformer similar to [[Sega]]'s ''[[:Category:Shinobi (franchise)|Shinobi]]'' series where the player controls four assassins on different assignments in feudal Japan. Each assassin has different attacks, and the player chooses two of the assassins before each stage and can switch between them at any point during gameplay. Each stage involves assassinating a different target, who is typically protected by a bodyguard that is stronger than a normal enemy, and there are story scenes preceding and following every stage.
 +
 
 +
The assassins move with {{left}} and {{right}}. The player controls the lead assassin while the other one follows and can switch between them with {{L}} and {{R}} (when not moving or attacking). They crouch with {{down}} and jump with {{C}}. They attack with {{B}} and guard by continuing to hold {{B}} after attacking. Enemies can also guard. Attacks can be done while standing, crouching, or jumping. Each character has a special attack that can be performed with {{A}}, which is a more powerful ability that drains a power gauge when it is used. Special attacks can kill regular enemies in a single hit and generally cannot be blocked. The power gauge replenishes over time (including when the character is not active).
 +
 
 +
Each character has multiple health points, initially six at the start of each stage and depicted as candles, and loses a health point when struck by an enemy or a hazard. The two characters have separate health, and only the active character can be harmed. A character dies when he loses all of his health points. The game ends if both characters die but can be continued from the start of the current stage.

Hissatsu! (必殺！) is a side-scrolling action game for the Sega Saturn based on the Hissatsu television series.

Gameplay

Character select

The game is an action platformer similar to Sega's Shinobi series where the player controls four assassins on different assignments in feudal Japan. Each assassin has different attacks, and the player chooses two of the assassins before each stage and can switch between them at any point during gameplay. Each stage involves assassinating a different target, who is typically protected by a bodyguard that is stronger than a normal enemy, and there are story scenes preceding and following every stage.

The assassins move with Left and Right. The player controls the lead assassin while the other one follows and can switch between them with L and R (when not moving or attacking). They crouch with Down and jump with C. They attack with B and guard by continuing to hold B after attacking. Enemies can also guard. Attacks can be done while standing, crouching, or jumping. Each character has a special attack that can be performed with A, which is a more powerful ability that drains a power gauge when it is used. Special attacks can kill regular enemies in a single hit and generally cannot be blocked. The power gauge replenishes over time (including when the character is not active).

Each character has multiple health points, initially six at the start of each stage and depicted as candles, and loses a health point when struck by an enemy or a hazard. The two characters have separate health, and only the active character can be harmed. A character dies when he loses all of his health points. The game ends if both characters die but can be continued from the start of the current stage.
