Charming Sunsoft fighter with space opera roster and starry backgrounds. Basic system but the visual identity is delightful. A catalogue curiosity worth trying for the look.

Description
Warriors from different galaxies clash in this unique Sunsoft fighting game with borderless arenas. Published by Sunsoft, released in Japan in April 1995. One-on-one combat in open borderless arenas allowing ring-out KO, original characters with cosmic powers. Japanese edition.
A Sunsoft fighting game with borderless arenas and a colourful cosmic cast, an original versus by a third party, rarer on a machine dominated by SNK's own output. The Western version sold on the narrow, short-lived North American Neo Geo CD market, which makes its pressing appreciably rarer than the Japanese edition. Its boundary-free combat system remains atypical on the format.
Is Galaxy Fight - Universal Warriors still worth playing in 2026?
Galaxy Fight - Universal Warriors is a Sunsoft fighting game in which warriors from different galaxies clash in borderless arenas, a rare particularity in the genre. The absence of walls, the motley roster with singular character design and an accessible system bring real freshness. The perfectible balancing and a certain simplicity temper the competitive depth. For fans of atypical retro versus fighting and 90s genre curiosities, it is an original and endearing proposition, a precursor to Waku Waku 7.
