Summary
Galaxy Fight: Universal Warriors (often just called Galaxy Fight) drops you into a twoâplayer showdown where eight combatants, each hailing from a different planet, battle for the fate of the galaxy. The roster feels like a sciâfi allâstars lineup, and the premise of hunting the divine being Felden Crayce adds a nice flavor without getting in the way of the pure fighting action.
What really sets the game apart is its borderless arenas: the screen can zoom in and out and the background scrolls endlessly, so you can literally run off into space and back. A quick doubleâtap on the joystick lets your character sprint, letting you launch opponents across three screenâlengths in a single strikeâsomething you rarely see in other fighters of the era.
The control scheme is simple yet deep, with three attack buttons of varying speed and power and a fourth button dedicated to taunts that have no gameplay effect but add personality. Hidden in the code are two secret fightersâa hopping white punching bag and a spoof of Street Fighterâs Ryu dubbed âOldâŻRyuââand a handy cheat to swap the timer and score display at the start of a match. After a twoâplayer bout, you can even pick the victorâs ending speech by holding A, B, or C.
Critics praised the gameâs crisp graphics and sound, though the endlessâscroll mechanic was a bit divisive. Still, its unique twists and quirky extras give Galaxy Fight a memorable place among midâ90s arcade fighters.
Storyline
Galaxy Fight: Universal Warriors puts you in the shoes of Rolf, a selfâproclaimed âHero of the Galaxyâ from the planet Airrass. He pilots a battle suit with a shortârange flamethrower, jetpack, tiny energy pistol and a singleâeye visor, and his personal vendetta is to defeat the tyrant Felden and avenge his three fallen friends.
Alvan, the Prince of the Ruined Planet Rozalis, survived his worldâs destruction a millennium ago thanks to a magic crimson stone and now seeks to restore his home by confronting Felden. Gunter, a massive greenâskinned fireâbreather from Guljeff, and Golden Done, a brownâskinned alien thug from Mani, each pursue their own mysterious missions against the resurrected tyrant. Juri, a beautyâobsessed thief from Lezaar, fights for strength and glamour, while samurai Kazuma â âThe Raging Stormâ â roams the galaxy with Rolf to test his martial lineage. Musafar, an enormous robot built by the Fakir Empire, hunts warriors to steal their abilities, and Roomi, a ditzy Lutecian who can sense opponentsâ feelings, dreams of fame.
BonusâKun, a living punchingâbag parody of Ryu, and Yacopu, a shapeâshifting rabbit midâboss, provide quirky challenges. The final showdown is against Felden, a being of golden flame crowned in blue, who cursed Alvanâs world. A secret boss, Rouwe, appears only on a perfect run, linked to the death of Kazumaâs father, and his punchingâbag alterâego BonusâKun becomes playable later.
