Description
3D urban arena fighting game featuring street fighters armed with blunt weapons. Published by Sega AM3, released in the USA in 1998.

Saturn port of the 1996 arcade cabinet with additional content.
A 3D fighting game from Sega AM3, Last Bronx pits street fighters armed with blunt objects in urban arenas of strong style, against a backdrop of nocturnal Tokyo and gangs. The system, inherited from the Virtua Fighter school but built around weapons, bets on timing, reach and dodging rather than a flurry of blows. The polished presentation and the atmosphere made this title a Saturn showcase. For a fan of retro 3D versus or someone curious about Sega's craft of the era, the title keeps a strong style and a preserved technical playability.
