"Fight enemies in a play of pure action"
Foul Play is a beat 'em up that differs from others by greatly favoring players who manage to chain great combos by planning the moves to perform. Thus, crushing buttons without thinking about the consequences is not rewarded in this title that recreates all the scenes in a kind of theatrical show.
If you hit the buttons you'll also defeat the enemies, but sooner or later it will turn against you and they'll hit you until you lose. Therefore, it is convenient that you execute the movements in the precise instant giving rise to a good combo that entails the death of a high number of enemies.
Spectators who come to the Foul Play theater will remain watching the action and even at some point will break to applaud if the situation deserves it. Giving a show will depend mainly on you, since enemies are mere secondary actors. Although the millionaire doesn't seem too strong, he is capable of defeating zombies, mummies, demons and other creatures with a clean hit as long as the movements are properly chained and you don't rush pushing buttons without thinking in order to defend yourself from the attacks.
