Climax Entertainment: History and Key Facts

Climax Entertainment was a Japanese video game development company. It was a small company, with just 20 staff in 1996. Climax got its start during the 16-bit era, primarily developing games for the Sega Genesis console. During the 32-bit era, some members of the team left to create Matrix Software. Following the development of Dark Savior (1996), a group of staff members from the company's CGI division formed an independent company Climax Graphics, initially described as a "brother company".

By 2014 to 2015, without any official announcement, Climax was closed due to financial issues. Neratte! Tobashite! Rilakkuma GuraGura Sweets Tower on the Nintendo 3DS was the last game to be developed by Climax.
