Darkman is a side-scrolling platform game for Game Boy inspired by the 1990 film. Players assume the role of Darkman, a superhero equipped with abilities such as jumping, kicking, and punching. Throughout the game, Darkman must defeat level bosses by disguising himself as them while racing against a time limit, navigating through various action-packed sequences.
The game's plot is loosely based on the film of the same name. In this side-scrolling platformer, the player controls Darkman, a superhero who can jump, kick and punch, as well as swing from a rope during action sequences between levels. In each level, Darkman disguises himself as the boss of the level, whom he must defeat before the time limit elapses.
