History VideoGame / RedEarth

* {{Crossover}}: Tessais a playable character in ''Super Gem Fighter Mini Mix'' (in which Leo and Hauzer make cameos; the former in her stage, the latter in Ryu's ending), and ''VideoGame/CapcomFightingEvolution'' had the appearances of Leo, Hauzer, Hydron, and Kenji as playable, plus cameos from Tessa, Mai-Ling, Blade, Kongou, and Gi Gi in Leo, [[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} Jedah, and Pyron]]'s endings.

* CensorshipBureau: Blade was originally known as "Jihad" in Japan, however, because of religious connotations (a rare example of an Islamic reference) it was changed to what it is now. Curiously, many later sources, including the Japanese ones, now refer to the character as Blade instead of Jihad.
* CombatTentacles: Hydron/Nool.

* {{Crossover}}: Tessa/Tabasa is a playable character in ''Pocket Fighter[=/=]Super Gem Fighter Mini Mix'' (in which Leo and Hauzer make cameos; the former in her stage, the latter in Ryu's ending), and ''VideoGame/CapcomFightingEvolution'' had the appearances of Leo, Hauzer, Hydron/Nool, and Kenji/Mukuro as playable, plus cameos from Tessa, Mai-Ling, Blade, Kongou, and Gi Gi in Leo, [[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} Jedah, and Pyron]]'s endings.

** DemotedToExtra: While the game is a relatively obscure title, almost all of the playable characters have been in at least one game outside of this one (see "Crossover" above) except for Mai-Ling/Tao whom has yet to have been playable outside of the original game.

** [[FantasyCounterpartCulture As non-character examples]], we have the planet itself (Earth, which is ''blue''), Zipang (Japan), Icelarn (Iceland), Sangypt/Alanbird (Egypt, Alanbird was the original Japanese name), Savalia/Greedia (Greece, Greedia is the original Japanese name), and Gora (China). The exterior of Gi Gi's stage is never seen, but judging by his appearance (a robotic Chavín statue) it's probably a [[{{Mayincatec}} fantasy version of ancient Peru]].

* {{Fanservice}}: Tessa/Tabasa's "bad" ending.

* {{Ninja}}: Kenji/Mukuro.

* AllWitchesHaveCats: The [[InsistentTerminology sorcerologist]] Tessa owns four cats, two of whom (Al and Ivan) actually aid her in battle from time to time. [[SubvertedTrope The catch is that]] Tessa owns several other pets, such as a bird (Hato), a frog (Kaeru), and a dragon spirit [[LivingWeapon which doubles as]] [[BadassCape her cape]] (Manot).

* AsLongAsThereIsEvil: [[spoiler:Scion]] will live on.
** [[spoiler: [[{{subverted trope: might not be true, he got the way he was because of a corrupting alien, as revealed in Tessa's endings.]]

* WalkingShirtlessScene: Yeah, he's got fur, but Leo isn't wearing much other than a {{loincloth}}.

* FootFocus: Mai-Ling.

* CursedWithAwesome: Leo.

** CapcomVsWhatever: Aside from ''[[SNKVsCapcom SNK vs. Capcom]]: Card Fighters' Clash'' (which features even Mai-Ling), Tessa appeared in ''VideoGame/SNKVsCapcomSVCChaos'', Hauzer appeared in Karas and Saki's endings in ''[[VideoGame/TatsunokoVsCapcom Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars]]'', and Gi Gi has an appearance in [[LostPlanet PTX-40A]]'s ending in the same game. Leo appeared in {{Hawkeye}}'s ending in ''[[VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3 Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3]]'', Tessa also appeared in [[DoctorStrange Dr. Strange]]'s ending in the same game, Kenji's colour scheme is an outfit for VideoGame/{{Strider}} Hiryu's outfit, and also in among the "Heroes and Heralds" cards. Kongou and Ravange also appeared in Hsien-ko's ending.

There are four selectable characters and eight computer-controlled opponents; and two game modes, Quest and Versus. In Quest Mode, the player chooses one of the four main characters, and progresses through a story while battling the various boss characters and gaining experience. In Versus Mode, two players fight against each other, but they can only choose from the four main characters. Red Earth also uses a special password system that allows the player to play the game later on the same skill level reached when it ended the last time. The character is able to "learn" special attacks and gain new equipment depending on the skill level that has been reached.

* NoExportForYou: This game didn't have a proper release in USA.

(To be fair she does appear as cards in the ''SNK vs. Capcom Card Fighters Clash'' series, so she is not a total [[ChuckCunninghamSyndrome Brother Chuck]].)

The fighting engine itself is similar to games such as ''Street Fighter'', but with a few differences. First of all, the health bar of the enemy 'bosses' the player battles in Quest mode is displayed across the bottom of the screen, and is much larger than that of the players. Also, as the player lands hits on the bosses, various coins and treasure chests come out. Collecting coins provides experience, while various things can be found in treasure chests, such as orbs (used for super attacks) and food (that restores health). These elements make the game very similar to an action/beat-em-up style game rather than a traditional one-on-one fighter.

''Red Earth'', known as ''Warzard'' (ウォーザード , ''Wōzādo'') in Japan, is a 1996 fantasy-themed head-to-head fighting game released by Capcom as a coin-operated arcade game. It was the first game for Capcom's CP System III hardware, the same hardware on which the later ''StreetFighterIII'' games ran. ''Red Earth'' is the only CPS III video game which has never been officially ported to home platforms, although its characters have appeared in later Capcom games.

In addition, ''Red Earth'' is one of few Capcom games with finishing moves. They include splitting the opponent in half either horizontally or vertically, decapitation, artery rupture, organ removal and limb slicing; the ''{{Darkstalkers}}'' series also holds this distinction.
