The game uses a side-view one-on-one fighting format. Players choose from a roster of characters, each armed with a distinct weapon and unique special moves. Core actions include attacking, jumping, blocking, and executing character-specific techniques. Matches are round-based, and winning advances the player through successive opponents, with some fighters able to trigger especially damaging finishers.
Deadly Moves is a weapon-based fighting game for the Sega Genesis built around one-on-one combat and flashy special attacks. Featuring digitized character graphics and a brutal tone, it stands out as a distinctive early-1990s home console fighter with a memorable presentation.

The game features 10 distinct fighters, each with their own weapon, move set, and fatal techniques.
Learn each character's weapon range first, then use that reach to control neutral space. Many special attacks have noticeable recovery, so defend after committing to pressure. Against powerful finishers, stay at mid-range and bait unsafe moves to create better counterattack chances.
