Breakers (ブレイカーズ, Bureikāzu) is a fighting game developed by Visco Corporation, which was released for the Neo Geo.

The special actions are also similar to other fighting games from the same era, although the dashing and back-stepping techniques tend to differ between characters (some of them will roll on the floor for example).

To accumulate energy for the Power Gauge, the player must perform special actions such as taunting, dashing, back-stepping, rolling, etc.

Breakers Revenge Chicago (Japanese: ブレイカーズリベンジ死嘩護) combines the gameplay of Breakers Revenge (Japanese: ブレイカーズリベンジ), the hidden Extra mode from the Neo-Geo CD version and a new style called Chicago into 3 selectable play styles.

[2] The following plot summary is translated from the home versions' manual: Somewhere in Hong Kong, two martial artists face each other in a vast courtyard.

"Fool, you will become one of my family" resounded the opponent's voice, as the challenger crumbled to the floor and was turned into sand.'

However, none of the martial artists who were chosen to challenge the champion in a private final match have ever come back alive.

The sponsor is actually an evil spirit who possessed the body of a modern man from Hong Kong who has established a selection system to amplify his dark powers.

Breakers was one of many video games that tried to copy the formula of Street Fighter II and achieve similar success.

[3] Breakers was originally announced in 1993 under the title of Crystal Legacy in English, or Tenrin no Syo Chicago (天麟の書　死嘩護) in Japanese.

An updated version of the game titled Breakers Revenge was released exclusively for the arcades on July 3, 1998.

Breakers Revenge was given a limited cartridge release for the Neo Geo home console by Columbus Circle in 2020.

Due to its status and notoriety as a cult classic, it can still be seen being played in some modern Japanese fighting game tournaments.
