}}'''''Breakers''''' (ブレイカーズ, ''Bureikāsu'') is a 2D fighting game released by [[Visco]] on December 17, 1996 for the [[Neo Geo]]. It received an updated version entitled '''''Breakers Revenge''''' (ブレイカーズ・リベンジ, ''Bureikāsu Ribenji'') on July 3, 1998.

The game is rather obscure in the arcade and Neo Geo scene, likely due to its somewhat uninspired visuals and character designs, but it has gained something of a cult following thanks to its solid gameplay.

In 2015, Visco launched through a French distributor a limited edition of ''Breakers Revenge'' for the Neo Geo AES.<ref>http://www.retrocollect.com/News/arcade-exclusive-breakers-revenge-gets-official-neo-geo-aes-home-cartridge-release.html</ref> In 2017, the original ''Breakers'' received an official Dreamcast release.<ref>http://shoryuken.com/2017/05/25/breakers-to-get-surprise-release-on-dreamcast-thanks-to-french-publisher-joshprod/</ref>

A collection including the two games, titled '''''Breakers Collection, '''''has announced for consoles and PC, coming in 2020. <ref>https://gematsu.com/2019/08/2d-fighting-game-collection-breakers-collection-announced-for-consoles-and-pc</ref>

When both players begin a fight with the same character, the challenger's character will receive a different name. For instance, Sho's double will be named "Jin Sawamura". This usually occurred in the game's arcade mode with a human opponent facing the computer.

==Characters==
*'''Sho Kamui''' (神威翔) - the main protagonist of the game and Dao-Long's rival. Hailing from Japan, he wants to prove the strength of Karate against strong opponents.
*'''Lee Dao-Long''' (李刀龍) - Sho's rival and senior. A young Korean who practices a Chinese martial art called the "Empty Fist."
*'''Pielle Montario''' (ピエール・モンタリオ) - a rich French aristocrat who parades around in [[wikipedia:Zorro|Zorro]]-like fashion. With his fencing skills, Pielle seeks to deliver justice for Bai-Hu's cruelty.
*'''Condor Heads''' (コンドル・ヘッズ) - a Native American wrestler. After experiencing a vision from his lion spirit, Manitor, Condor enters the tournament to find what's lacking in his life.
*'''Rila Estancia''' (ライラ・エスタンシア) - a wild and savage-looking woman who was born in Brazil. She is searching for a way to protect her jungle home.
*'''Tia Langray''' (ティア・ラングレー) - a young and petite female Muay Thai fighting champion, she is looking for her missing brother.
*'''Alsion III''' (アルシオンIII世) - seems to be a resurrected Egyptian pharaoh. Using various deities and his stretching limbs, Alsion III is trying to create his own empire.
*'''Sheik Maherl''' (シーク・マハール) - an Arabian swordsman who can summon a fiery djinn during fights. He enters the tournament to confirm the whereabouts of his missing friend.
*'''Saizo Tobikageno''' (飛影才蔵) - an exclusive new character added in ''Breakers Revenge''. Saizo is a ninja who wants to avenge his village.
*'''Huang Bai-Hu''' (黄白虎) - the final boss and main antagonist of the game. Possessed by an evil spirit, Bai-Hu organizes the FIST tournament to finish off his competition.

==Trivia==
*''Breakers'' was originally announced in 1993 under the title '''''Tenrin no Syo Chicago''''' (天麟の書　死嘩護), the game was named as '''''Crystal Legacy''''' outside of Japan.
*''Breakers Revenge'' was one of the first "Giga Power" games for the Neo Geo.
*The character Saizo should not be confused with the character Saizo Hattori from ''[[Power Instinct Matrimelee |Power Instinct]]'', though both characters are ninjas.

 An updated version of the game titled '''''Breakers Revenge''''' (ブレイカーズリベンジ) introduces one new character named Saizo and makes the final boss Bai-Hu into a playable character. ''Revenge'' makes adjustments to the existing cast of characters, rebalancing the game, the lifebars in this game were modified to look different compared to the first game's lifebars, and some stages' graphics were removed (e.g. flags in Sho Kamui's stage). However, the opening intro is almost identical to that of the first game and game's graphics are not that different.

@@ Line 60: / Line 60: @@
 ''The Fighting Instinct Tournament, or FIST, is a tournament as fierce as its name suggests. There was no shortage of martial artists who entered the tournament seeking fame, and yet there were many who left the tournament as corpses. The last challenger who remains in this lawless tournament gets to challenge the organizer of the tournament, the Head of the Huang Financial Clique, for the chance to win the massive prize money. The martial artist who can manage to defeat him will obtain the honor of truly calling him or herself the strongest. However, none of the martial artists who were chosen to challenge the champion in a private final match have ever come back alive. Nobody knows when exactly the tournament is held, since only an avaricious will was spiraling over there. The sponsor is actually an evil spirit who possessed the body of a modern man from Hong Kong who has established a selection system to amplify his dark powers. The FIST tournament has gathered numerous participants from around the globe and another sacrifice will be chosen this year.''

-The game is rather obscure in the arcade and Neo Geo scene, but it has gained something of a cult following. Along with no home ports of ''Breakers Revenge'' being released, the home ports of the original ''Breakers'' was never released outside Japan, pushing it deeper into obscurity. Due to its status and notoriety as a cult classic, it can still be seen being played in some modern Japanese fighting game tournaments. Even more so, the game is now more accessible due to the existence of emulators.
