Crossed Swords puts the player in first person, sword in hand, advancing through dungeons and facing enemies with directional strikes that must be aimed according to the angle of the rival's attack. That uncommon perspective sets it apart from the rest of Neo Geo's action catalog.
It remained a rarity within the SNK and Alpha Denshi catalog, more cited for its original approach than for having spawned its own saga, but it's still one of the system's most interesting curiosities.
