It may be that the designers intended this to be a reference to First Blood, where Rambo's fight actually takes place in the United States against law enforcement officers. The fifth level is not like the first four (which take place in what is probably South East Asia and another nondescript, undeveloped area, alternating between the two), but is actually in an urban environment. A certain amount of enemies must be killed before the barrier becomes vulnerable, however. These captives then throw the player a power up, like extra explosive arrows, an extra life, or a zap-effect which kills all enemies on the screen.Īt the end of each level, there is an obstacle that must be destroyed through use of explosive arrows, while an endless steam of minions pop up from either side to try to kill you. Using the explosive arrows, you can free hostages which are held captive in huts. The player character can't be hit or he immediately dies, and he cannot fire backward, just diagonally forward, to either side, and straight ahead. Players have an upgradable semi-automatic weapon with unlimited ammunition, and explosive arrows which act similarly to grenades, with a definite arc and an area-effect explosion. Players can play co-operatively or alone, fighting against soldiers who attack in certain patterns. The latter two were inspiration for the gameplay itself.
The changes are relatively minor, as the original game was inspired in part by Rambo itself and its video-game imitators, namely Ikari Warriors, and to a lesser extent, Commando. The Sega Master System version of Rambo: First Blood part II, is actually a re-skinning of a game originally titled Ashura (阿修羅) in Japan.
