Bottle Thrower

The Bottle Thrower is one of the most irritating enemies in the game. They can either throw a bottle and deal a ridiculous amount of damage or lose it and fight you with their fists. You can either dodge their bottles (try not to get hit in the back of the head) or force them into close-quarters combat. 

Bottle Throwers are almost defenseless in close-quarters combat and don’t do well in a grapple, but keeping your guard up is always a good idea.

Goon

Goons are the enemy you will encounter the most frequently at the beginning of the game. While they can be dealt with easily with basic attacks, they have a trick up their sleeve: they can’t be grappled.

If you attempt to grapple a goon, they’ll respond with an unblockable punch. Fortunately, you can backstep and avoid it if you're quick enough. 

Boxer

Boxers are excellent defenders who will plow through your allies quickly and with ease during territory defense events. They’ll block attacks with ease and deal a good amount of damage. While they can be grappled, it’s not the smartest thing to do as they can easily retaliate and inflict damage. 

You should break their guard with a strike or two, then counter their assault when they attack you. If you do happen to grapple them, double-tap the “back” key to kick them into submission.

Karate Kid

While a karate kid’s primary attack can be blocked easily, don’t underestimate them. If they catch you off-guard with their charge and flying kick, which they do quite frequently, you may find yourself without a weapon moments after entering combat.

Taekwondo

This enemy is a master of counterattacks and defending. Attacking them repeatedly will cause them to step back and unleash an unblockable high-kick. Fortunately, if you act quickly enough, you can sidestep it.

The great thing about these enemies is that they’re defenseless against grappling. If you encounter one, don’t attack; keep your guard up and close in for the grapple. They won’t stand a chance.

Charger

These enemies will charge at you relentlessly, much like their name promises. However, after wailing a barrage of attacks against you, they’ll rest and catch their breath with their hands on their knees. 

Keep your guard up through their attack and counter them when they reach you. They’ll have no energy to defend themselves, meaning you can take them out without issue.

Knife Wielder

It’s not the brightest idea to engage Knife Wielder directly. While their attacks are low damage, they attack rapidly, giving you no real time to react. You have two options to take them out:

Punch them once and quickly counter to acquire their knives.

Enter guard mode, hold the “down” key, then the “kick” key, all from a safe distance. This will knock them to the ground. You can repeat this process twice to neutralize the threat.

Grappler

Much like Goons, Grapplers are resistant to grappling attempts. They have higher health than other enemies and will try to get as close to you as possible to execute a grapple. Fortunately, they can be kept at bay with long-range kicks. Three good kicks will take care of them.

Swordsman

Swordsman can inflict a ridiculous amount of damage and will ruin your plans at the worst possible moment. They require special training for effective combat and will make your life way more difficult than it needs to be.

You can either use long kicks to keep them at bay or, if you want their sword, you can use the same strategy you would with a Knife Wielder: punch once, counter quickly, and grab the sword.

Be careful when dueling swordsmen with your sword. They can deflect your strikes and counter with a stylish and damaging attack if you’re not quick enough. 

When your attacks are deflected, kick to turn the tables. Alternatively, you can kick swordsmen and follow up with a slash attack.

Gunman

Gunmen rarely miss their targets, though you can manipulate the situation to your advantage by using the vertical spacing of an area and throwing off their aim. Before they fire at you, they’ll try to align vertically, providing you with the perfect opportunity to close in for the kill. 

You can counter the Gunman, then hit “back” to disarm them, ensuring yourself a steady supply of firearms. 

Abstract Enemies

While the game has its fair share of actual enemies, there are a few internal struggles your character will face as the game progresses:

• Lung Cancer - Unfortunately, due to the excessive amount of smoking you’re sure to partake in, developing lung cancer is inevitable. It’s an enemy you cannot defeat and eventually will be unable to avoid.
• Depression - The strength of your depression will wax and wane as you progress through the story. Fortunately, if you seek out help to deal with it, you should see positive results.
• Alcoholism - While it won’t expose you to any diseases, alcoholism will open up interactions with women at bars, opening up an entirely new set of consequences you might want to explore.
• Debauchery - Debauchery doesn’t have the most favorable returns. It will likely lead to you spending too much money, damaging your liver and self-esteem, risking various ailments, and being threatened by your spouse with a champagne bottle.
• Overconfidence - If you’re not careful, your arrogance could lead you to drop your guard, leading to an unfortunate death.
• Kato - While your younger best friend will have your back at the beginning, as the game progresses and you start berating him in front of others for his behavior and lack of etiquette, you’ll have to start watching your own back. You never know what sort of vengeance could accidentally befall you.

Guarding

You can keep your guard up by holding down the “punch” key. This will protect you from incoming attacks. Double-tapping the “front” or “back” keys will enable you to perform a dodge in the chosen direction. It is good to adopt this defensive state during combat and protect yourself from potential surprise attacks.

Counters

Pressing the “punch” and “kick” keys simultaneously will allow you to execute a counter. This will instantly dispatch unarmed enemies and disarm those with weapons. To acquire an armed enemy’s weapon and eliminate them, you must press the “back” key. If you kick enemies while in a guarding state, you will consistently perform counters against enemies.

Grappling

If you approach an enemy during combat, it will initiate a grapple, rendering them vulnerable to an attack or a swift wrestling maneuver leading to an instant takedown. You can perform various wrestling moves by double-tapping a directional key, which allows you to reposition yourself or face a different direction, giving you tactical flexibility.

Holding the “punch” key during a wrestling animation keeps you on guard after completing the move. Remember that not all enemies can be grappled; even if they can, grappling them won’t be the best strategy.

Weapons

Acquiring a weapon will alter your combat until you eventually lose it: 

• Sword - A sword will transform your “punch” into a sweeping strike and your “kick” into a teep kick that disrupts your enemies. Holding down “punch” and hitting “kick” simultaneously will initiate a thrusting stab that will hit multiple enemies in one fluid motion. Unfortunately, wielding a sword makes you susceptible to most attacks. 
• Gun - A gun will convert your “punch” into aiming and your “kick” into firing. The gun is best utilized if your aiming skill is maximized, which you can do in the pawnshop backroom and ensure lethal accuracy with every shot. 
  Pressing the “punch” key while holding the “item” key in enemy territory will draw your gun. You’ll have to use all seven bullets in your magazine to undraw your gun.
• Knives - These single-use weapons are highly effective and can be acquired from enemies wielding them. If you tap the “punch” key while at close range, you can stab an enemy, and if you tap it at long range, you can throw the knife for an instant kill

Having a bottle thrown at you is one of the worst things to deal with in this game. Fortunately, there are a few ways to dodge them.

Firstly, you will want to ensure you’re facing the bottle thrower and not being interrupted by melee assaults from other enemies. You’re also going to want to be standing in a defensive stance.

When a bottle flies at you, you can either hold down the “punch” key to evade it or double-tap the “front” or “back” keys to perform a swift dodge in the chosen direction. If you’re backward when attacked by a bottle thrower, double-tap the “back” key to avoid contact with the bottle.

If you’re in an area where there’s enough space to move up and down, you can simply move to the very bottom or top and just move up and down as bottles get thrown at you.
