[edit] Story

A number of legends exist throughout the planets of our galaxy that say the Divine Being appears once every millenia. The millenia is upon us now, and many have converged on the Denius system to greet the Diving Being. Without this God of legend, all is dark and empty. His name is Felden Crais and he knows only one way of doing things. He is neutral; neither benevolent nor malvolent, but his power is omnipotent. No one mortal being is more powerful than he.

[edit] Gameplay

Galaxy Fight is the first approach of Sunsoft into fighting games, and the first game of this genre that the company releases for Neo-Geo. Even as a prequel of sorts to Waku Waku 7 which uses the same engine the games, they have only few things in common, one of them being the mid-boss Bonus-Kun that appears in both games. The player chooses one of eight characters and travels along the in-game solar system to defeat one or more opponents inhabiting each of the planets before they get the chance to fight Felden and settle their personal scores with him. The game uses a four button layout where the first three buttons are used for non-specified striking attacks (they can be anything ranging from punches and kicks to tail whips and bites) with each specific button yielding different strengths of attacks. The fourth button is used specifically for taunts which has no purpose beyond annoying the opponent or showing off. Combining several buttons together may yield new attacks or special moves depending on the character. Galaxy Fight does not feature any extra bars other than the ones displaying the health of the character which, at the time, could be seen as old-school because most other fighters released in the same year used super bars. Examples include King of Fighters '95, Samurai Spirits 3, Darkstalkers: The Night Warrios and the first Street Fighter Alpha game. One of the innovative features of this game is that there are no walls to corner players, instead the screen can scroll indefinitely. This is an uncommon feature in 2D fighting games and usually more closely attached to the Tekken series by Namco.
