Released exclusively in Japan on December 23, 1998, Soukaigi (which translates to "Grass-Mowing Ceremony" or "Sacrifice of the Grass") was a bold attempt to blend cel-shaded 3D graphics with real-time action combat, years before Jet Set Radio or Kingdom Hearts. The game was developed by Sacnoth, a subsidiary of SNK—yes, the same company behind King of Fighters and Metal Slug. This pedigree shows in the game’s slick, arcade-like responsiveness.
