Dark Edge is a 1990 Data East beat 'em up set in a dystopian future, with a darker visual tone than other exponents of the genre that emerged in the same era. The structure is what you'd expect: advance by beating up gangs and creatures up to each stretch's boss. It's one of the least remembered beat 'em ups in Data East's catalog, overshadowed by more famous titles of the genre, but with its own visual identity that sets it apart within the huge offering of the era.
