It's not every day you get a fighting game that was unfinished and potentially unreleased...but The Fallen Angels fits both of those categories and still manages to be a pretty impressive and fun fighting game at the same time.
Psiyko and Steel Hearts co-developed a new fighting game that was supposed to rival if not exceed what SNK and Capcom was offering at the time....and maybe they could have pulled it off? But SOMETHING went wrong during development and the game was never truly finished. Four characters remain in the game code that cannot be accessed in game, there is barely any story whatsoever and there are still some graphical glitches and code issues. But what is there shows some legit promise.
So...did it actually release? Nobody is quite sure. A few kits exist out in the wild but could as easily have been location test versions sent to operators vs actually sold boards. People convert other Psiyko boards TO The Fallen Angels...but nobody can truly agree on whether or not the game actually released or not. It's not often there is not a definitive "cancelled or released' question...but GAF...if you know more examples of that I'd love to hear them.
Apparently (its been delayed multiple times) The Fallen Angels is being finished with a release hopefully sometime in 2023. A few decades later than expected...but what an odd story that is? Game dusted off and buttoned up 25+ years later and finally finished.
But GAF...what cancelled game would you like to see revived and released? I am sure you have some opinions
