ACA Neo Geo: Crossed Swords

Crossed Swords is a 1991 action role-playing video game developed by Alpha Denshi and published by SNK for the Neo Geo arcade and home platforms. Its gameplay was similar to SNK's 1990 game The Super Spy, but with hack and slash combat instead of shooting and fist-fighting. The game allowed cooperative gameplay with up to two players on the same screen. As only the player characters' silhouettes are visible on screen as wire-frame models, much like Punch-Out!!, the game's perspective may be considered either first-person or third-person. The game was later cited as an inspiration for the 2010 first-person fighting game Rage of the Gladiator.
