About Death Duel
The searing hiss of metal breaks the silence of dawn. As I step through the fleshy remains of my previous opponent, I realize the metal behemoth I am about to face is more fiercely equipped with deadly roto-bore proton rockets. I know I represent our final hope as I mount the Federation's newest war machine... the A-7 Trinity Rote Cyborg. The signal is given... I must proceed to the dueling ground. Today, death is in the air, and mercy in my guns... so LET 'EM BEG FOR MERCY. - Barrett Jade IT BRINGS ...A WHOLE NEW MEANING TO DISARM YOUR ENEMY.

An odd first-person mecha shooter from RazorSoft that is cheap and worth a look for the curious.
Death Duel is a first-person, side-scrolling shooter published by RazorSoft and developed by Punk Development, released in North America in October 1992. You play a mecha pilot who has to take down nine alien enemies one at a time, spending money on the weapons you can afford.
Sega Pro was enthusiastic: it liked the well-animated sprites and said the game offered more content and strategy than most shooters, though the fast, tough opponents mean constantly resetting the view-finder.
What the press said at the time
| GamePro Issue 39 | October 1992 | Graphics 4.5, Sound 3.5, Control 4.5, FunFactor 3.5, Adjustable |
“Death Duel stands as the only 16-bit shooter cart of its breed. So, of course, it mows down the competition.”
Before you buy
Among US carts it sits a little below the middle, so it is cheap to buy. A complete US copy means the case, cartridge and manual.
