Ningyou Tsukai

About

Ningyou Tsukai is a 2D fighting game where players control two female scientists battling rogue humanoid robots influenced by human desire. Set in a Japan of the early 90s, the game follows Rika and Sandy as they confront enemies corrupted by lust, using martial arts and weapons to stop escalating sex crimes. Combat is fast and direct with limited special moves, focusing on timing and aggression. The game blends sci-fi aesthetics with a gritty narrative about technology gone awry. This title stands out for its controversial adult themes and graphic content, which made it a polarizing release on its PC-9800 and FM Towns platforms. With its mix of action and explicit material, it remains a niche artifact of 90s Japanese gaming. The May 1992 launch date places it among early examples of visual novel-inspired fighting games.
