Mace:The Dark Age (1997) was the Western Fighting Game response to Soul Edge, except much darker. Made by Atari and published by Midway, it has a small cult following. The world as we know it in this one is a complete Crapsack World, Europe is in a permanent dark age as petty warlords bide for power through war and oppression, Arabia under the cruel grasp of the Assassin's Guild and the Far East is about to witness the destruction brought upon Europe and Arabia. And God is seemingly unable to save the world from suffering or cleanse the world and start over.
