Red Earth
Also known as: War-Zard (JP) Developer: Capcom Publisher: Capcom Platform: Arcade (CP System III) Released in JP: December 12, 1996 Released in EU: 1996 This game has regional differences. This game has revisional differences.

Red Earth is a unique fighting game with RPG elements and a password system. Its story is set in a world dominated by religious governments, and where military might is comprised of swords and magic. While each country yearns to expand its own influence and power, they have maintained an equal (if shaky) balance of power. It's also notable for being the first game released for the CPS-III arcade hardware.

The game didn't get a console port until 2022, when it was included as part of Capcom Fighting Collection.
