crossed swords

NEO-GEO, 1991

One of the developers most closely associated with SNK over the years was ADK (or Alpha Denshi), which developed games for all of the company’s platforms and ultimately had its library bought by SNK Playmore when it closed in 2003. This early Neo-geo effort is an excellent example of its work – a fantasy combat game in which you engage in close-up swordfights with enemies, which scale impressively as they leap towards you. There’s very little like it out there.
