Criticom is a 1995 fighting video game developed by Kronos Digital Entertainment for the PlayStation. It was originally released by Vic Tokai on November 29, 1995, followed by a Sega Saturn port in 1996. An early polygonal 3D fighting game, it features a mystery sci-fi backstory and eight fighters from across the galaxy, each attempting to get their hands on a crystal artifact. Critics praised the game's visuals and presentation but widely panned its gameplay mechanics.
