Cliffhanger — About this game
Cliffhanger follows Gabe through mountain danger and violent encounters inspired by the film. The Sega CD game combines side-scrolling combat with sequences that change the pace, including the descent through hazardous terrain. Punches, kicks, climbing and timed jumps offer different ways through a stage. Ropes and ledges require deliberate positioning, so avoid entering an enemy’s reach while still committed to a climb or landing from a jump.
