Dark Edge (World)

Dark Edge is a two-player fighting game released by Sega in 1992. Players control futuristic combatants who engage in one-on-one battles within detailed environments. The game creates an illusion of three-dimensional movement through scaled sprites and backgrounds, allowing characters to circle each other during encounters. Gameplay revolves around utilizing a standard five-button control scheme: weak punch, strong punch, jump, weak kick, and strong kick – enabling players to execute various attacks and maneuvers against their opponent. The System 32 hardware powers the game’s visuals and sound design. As Sega's initial foray into one-on-one fighting games with a perceived depth of three dimensions, Dark Edge offers a unique visual style for its time within the versus fighting genre.
