Overview
Kabuki Klash (also known as Far East of Eden: Kabuki Klash, and known in Japan as Tengai Makyou: Shinden, which loosely translates to "The Realm of Demons Beyond the Heavens: The True Legend") is a 2D historical-fantasy weapon-based fighting game developed by Racjin (along with Red Company) and released by SNK (along with Hudson Soft) for arcades (using Neo Geo MVS hardware) on June 20, 1996.
The second fighting game spin-off of the RPG series Far East of Eden (after Kabuki Ittou Ryoudan), Kabuki Klash features heroes from the first two RPGs (Tengai Makyou: Ziria and Tengai Makyou II: Manjimaru) as they clash in the fictional feudal Japanese land of Jipang. It is the only game in the series to have an official release outside of Japan.
The game shares many similarities with both Samurai Shodown and Samurai Shodown II, including a two-Punch, two-Kick button configuration (where pressing both Punch or Kick buttons at the same time generate their corresponding "strong" attack), a system for losing and recovering weapons, and a randomized power-up pickup system.
It was also released on the Neo Geo AES on July 28, 1995 and was ported to the Neo Geo CD on December 8, 1995, both only released in Japan. It is the only Hudson Soft game released for both home systems.

The game includes eight playable characters and four boss characters (two of which can be played in the Neo Geo CD version with cheat codes).
