Untouchable
Untouchable is a 1987 arcade action game developed by Dynax. Players take on the role of a lone fighter moving through side-scrolling stages, battling waves of enemies using punches, kicks, and other combat moves. The game follows a straightforward beat-em-up structure where the player progresses through multiple levels, clearing out opponents to advance. Controls are responsive, allowing the player to perform basic attacks and navigate the environment. As a single-player experience, the difficulty increases across stages, with more aggressive enemies appearing as the game continues. Dynax designed the game for arcade cabinet play, delivering fast-paced combat encounters in each stage. The visual style reflects mid-1980s arcade aesthetics, with sprite-based characters and colorful backgrounds typical of the era.
