Gameplay
Thunder Fox is a horizontally scrolling shooter, where the players take control of agents Thunder and Fox.[1] Thunder is more efficient with firearms, while Fox is better in using a knife.[2] The levels are all divided into multiple sections, from a military base to a plane.[3] The action is focused on close combat with using the knife to attack, but there are also other weapons dropped by enemies like grenades, flame-throwers and handguns.[4]
