Hard Edge (ハードエッジ Hādo Ejji, T.R.A.G.: Tactical Rescue Assault Group - Mission of Mercy in North America) is an action-adventure game developed and published by SunSoft for the PlayStation.
Plot
The T.R.A.G. team infiltrate the Togusa building, which has been taken over by terrorists, and they attempt to take it back, as well as rescuing Prof. Kevin Howard, an important scientist who is a hostage of the terrorists.
Gameplay
The gameplay is somewhat similar to that of Resident Evil, with 3D characters moving across pre-rendered backgrounds most of the time.
Characters
There are 4 playable characters, each with a unique ability and also a different fighting style:
- Alex, is a member of T.R.A.G. who is able to use night vision goggles and fights using his pistol.
- Michelle is Alex's comrade, who fights with a knife.
- Rachel Howard is Professor Howard's daughter, who fights with tonfa batons. Her small size allows her to get in tight places.
- Burns Byford is a local detective who was searching for one of the terrorists, Gasshu. He fights with his fists. His strength allows him to move heavy objects that the other characters cannot.
Each character can be switched with another one almost anytime; in fact, if the characters are split into 2 teams, the player is able to explore 2 areas separately as well. It's notable that there aren't new weapons to be picked during the main game; instead those are obtained only as unlockables after the game's completion.
