In the original Japanese version ''Nekketsu Kōha Kunio-kun'', the game revolves around a high-school delinquent named Kunio-kun (or just Kunio) who must stand up against a series of rival gangs frequently targeting his classmate Hiroshi. In the Western version ''Renegade'', the player controls a street brawler who must face four different gangs in order to rescue his girlfriend being held captive by a mob boss.
