History VideoGame / BleedingEdge

** Buttercup is a {{Cyborg}} BikerBabe.

* RealityEnsues: Getting caught by a train on the map gets you insta-killed.

* OnlyChildSyndrome: None of the characters, apart from Makutu, are explicitly stated to have siblings.

''Bleeding Edge'' is a multiplayer-focused game involving teams of four players, with a heavy emphasis on melee combat created by Creator/NinjaTheory. The stylish cast of fighters swaggering through its dystopic setting carry [[ImprobableWeaponUser extravagant weapons]] to match the scene.

* AbnormalAmmo: Barely anyone in this games just shoots bullets. Instead, projectiles consist of acid, sonic waves, bolts, you name it.

* BadassCrew: Every member of Bleeding Edge can very much hold their own and they're not afraid to proof it either. You have, just to name a few, Buttercup, a motorcycle-human-hybrid who uses chainsaw blades as boxing loves, Gizmo, a skinny red-head with enough bombs and turrets at her disposal to blow opponents to kingdom come and Nidhöggr, a metalhead whose [[InstrumentOfMurder instrument]] doubles as a ''literal axe''.

** Mekko is a dolfin who is also a mecha pilot.

* NoPlotNoProblem: Bleeding Edge is focused on the gameplay. There is a story somehwere in the background, but it's definitely not the focus.

* CounterAttack: All characters have access to a DifficultButAwesome parry which can only be executed whilst standing still.

* LimitBreak: Every character has two "Supers", extremely powerful attacks that can be executed after a buildup.

* ReportsOfMyDeathWereGreatlyExaggerated: Zig-zagged with Kulev. He actually ''was'' dead, he just transferred his soul into a robot snake and then attached himself to his rotting corspe, so he wouldn't attract attention. To the world at large, however, he remains dead officially.

* CombatMedic: All of the support characters, but Miko especially, since she was explicitly trained in her clans fighting style and, when played by a skilled player, can very well hold out against several tanks or damage characters.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Human Augment Systems appears as the catalyst for most of the characters' [[TragicBackstory Tragic Backstories]] of most of the characters and is also implied to be the BigBad in the background for the games' present.

* {{Irony}}: Mekko grew to hate humans, due to the torture he experienced at the hands of a [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Human Augment Systems]], who planned to use him as a biological sonic weapon. But in the end it was humans who set him free and helped him get revenge on the aforementioned corporation.
* KarmaHoudini: Human Augment Systems has conducted several inhuman experiments in both past and present and it's heavily implied that they take advantage of their monopoly on cybernetic implants. But aside from Bleeding Edge, nobody seem willing to even try standing up to them in any manner and the law is on their side, since Bleeding Edge use illegal body modifications.

* LimitBreak: Every character has to "Supers", extremely powerful attacks that can be executed after a buildup.

* NiceGuy: Hard as it is to believe, Bleeding Edge as a whole fall into this. they might beat the crap out of police officers and each other on live tv, but they're also willing to save a poor, tortured animal from CorruptCorporateExecutive Human Augment Systems, their in-fighting is never personal and they remain good friends before and after and they welcome anyone who's up for it to join them at any time.

* TeamShot: A nice on at the end of the launch trailer.
* TokenNonHuman: Mekko is a dolfin and also the only non-human playable character. It's kind of zig-zagged with Kulev, who is a robot snake now, but ''used'' to be a human.

The game was officially released on March 24th, 2019 for Xbox One, Windows 10 and Steam. The website can be found [[https://www.bleedingedge.com/en/ here]], launch trailer [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmZzFaXjtgE here]].

* NinjaPirateRobotZombie:

* AndYourRewardIsClothes: You can unlock alternate outfits for your characters.

* AntiHero: Bleeding Edge the gang consists mostly of people who were let down or taken advantage of by the system. As such, they openly rebel against the government by using black-market cybernetics, fighting the police in the streets and staging and participating in street fights with each other.

* TheBigGuy: Makutu, though he ''did'' have some help becoming one.

* CyberPunk: In the future this game takes place in, ArtificialLimbs are all but the norm, corrupt mega-corporations can conduct potentially deadly experiments on people and animals with little to no consequence and the system provides only insufficient support for the poor, forcing many to turn to the black market to get the help they need.
* DamagerHealerTank: The characters are categorized into Damage, Support and Tank.

* AllThereInTheManual: As is the case with most games in the genre, Bleeding Edge doesn't really develop it's characters in-game apart from some light pre-match banter. Information like real names or backstories has to be looked up on the official website.

* AntiHero: Bleeding Edge the gang consists mostly of people who were let down or taken advantage of by the system. As such, they openly rebel against the government by using black market cybernetics, fighting the police in the streets and staging and participating in street fights with each other.

* BloodKnight: As Daemon himself admits to the viewer in the launch trailer, Bleeding Edge don't really have a reason for fighting each other. They do it because it's fun and they're good at it.

* ClothesMakeTheSuperman: Not all of them, but most of the Bleeding edge members have some kind of ArtificialLimbs that enhance their physical abilities and offer at least some explanation for some of the more outlandish things they do in the game.

* CyberPunk: In the future this game takes place in, ArtificialLimbs are all but the norm, corrupt mega corporations can conduct potentially deadly experiments on people and animals with little to no consequence and the system provides only insufficient support for the poor, forcing many to turn to the black market to get the help they need.

* TheDogBitesBack: Daemon's mother died because of "corporate complications". Daemon was an [[DisappearedDad only child]] and had to fend for himself on the streets, using graffiti as an outlet. He eventually grew into a genius coder and caused the biggest data breach in Augmented Human Systems' corporate history, as well as formed the Bleeding Edge to get back at the society and greedy corporation that ruined his life.

* FamilyOfChoice: A lot of Bleeding Edge's members joined because they had nowhere else to go and Daemon was the only one who would take them all in with open arms without an ulterior motive. Invoked especially for Mekko, who's profiles explicitly states that he views the weird humans who rescued him from the lab he was abused in as family.

* GodlikeGamer: Zero Cool is pro-gamer, very competent hacker and a technological prodigy who designed himself augments to participate in Bleeding Edge, because regular gaming just wouldn't cut it for him anymore.

* ImprobableAge: Zero Cool and Gizmo are 16 and 17 respectively, yet apparently Daemon had no problem allowing them into Bleeding Edge's regular fighting tournaments. The launch trailer also makes it clear that the other Bleeding Edhe members are [[WouldHurtAChild not willing to hold back]] when fighting against them.

** Maeve is a BadassGrandma who might be dependent on her flying bauble to move, but should ''not'' be underestimated either way.
