Daredevil

About

Daredevil is a side-scrolling brawler with straightforward combat. You play Matt Murdock a lawyer who can't see but takes down goons with fists and agility. Levels switch between city streets rooftops and underground tunnels. Each of 23 stages mixes platforming and button-mashing enemies. The game leans into comic book visuals with flashy text and colorful backdrops. The charm comes from its cartoonish style and varied environments. Cutscenes use comic panels to explain the plot keeping the story tight. Despite a 2003 release the level design holds up with decent replay value. It's a solid if simple entry in the beat 'em up genre. Nostalgic players might appreciate the movie tie-in but the game feels more like a comic adaptation with bold colors and simple but effective stage variety.
