Getting to Know Cyber Brawl ~ Cosmic Carnage (Japan, USA)

Compiled by the Retro Games Online Editorial Team · Updated June 27, 2026

Cyber Brawl (released as Cosmic Carnage in North America) is a one-on-one fighting game that landed on the SEGA 32X in 1994. It was published by Sega and developed internally, making it one of the few first-party fighters for the add-on. The title differs by region, but the core game is identical between the Japanese and US releases. It belongs to the wave of digitized-character brawlers that tried to replicate the arcade feel at home, though the 32X hardware gave it a slight edge over the Genesis base.

How to Play Cyber Brawl ~ Cosmic Carnage (Japan, USA) Online

Getting Started

When you boot up Cyber Brawl / Cosmic Carnage, you'll see a simple title screen. Press Start to reach the character selection screen. You'll choose from a roster of fighters, each with a unique appearance and fighting style. The goal is to reduce your opponent's health bar to zero over a series of rounds. Movement is along a 2D plane with sidestepping to avoid attacks.

Basic controls: use the D-Pad to move, press A (X key) to jump, and B (S key) to punch or kick. Special moves are performed by combining directional inputs with button presses, similar to other fighting games of the era. Timing is important - blocking and countering are essential to win. The game keeps a best-of-three format, and you can fight against the computer or a friend in versus mode.

If you have the Japanese version, menus are entirely in Japanese. The main menu options are typically: 1P Game, 2P Versus, and Options. The character select screen uses portraits, so you can pick based on appearance. Don't worry about story or deep mechanics - just jump in and brawl. The game rewards learning each fighter's range and speed over memorizing complex combos.
