Breakers is Visco's bet on the fighting genre for the Neo Geo board, with a roster of characters of varied aesthetics and a combat system that favors timing and defensive play over fast combos, in a line closer to Samurai Shodown than Street Fighter. It came out in 1996, at a time when Neo Geo was already saturated with fighting games from big and small studios alike. It's a cult title among Neo Geo collectors: it didn't have the commercial impact of SNK or Capcom, but its carefully crafted combat system earned it its own place among those who dig deep into that board's competitive fighting scene.
