Red Earth

About

Red Earth is a 2D fighting game from Capcom’s late ’90s CPS III lineup. It pits eight characters against each other in fast-paced brawls set in a mythic world. Each fighter has distinct moves and a fantasy-inspired backstory, though the single-player mode focuses on straightforward bouts. The game’s arcade-only release and lack of home ports make it a rare find for collectors. Its status as the sole CPS III title never officially brought to consoles has kept it niche. Despite this, some of its characters popped up in later Capcom titles, hinting at broader lore. Players note the sharp controls and balanced combat, though the lack of deeper modes limits replay. A curiosity for fighting game historians.
