Wolf Fang (also known as Rohga: Armor Force) is a 1994 Mecha Game made by Data East, and a follow-up to their previous game, Vapor Trail.

Two years since the events of Trail, the Ragnarok corporation, though to be destroyed, makes a comeback with their new army of machines, and it's up to the Wolf Fang unit, which the player controls, to suppress Ragnarok's invasion.

What makes this game unique is the amount of default customizations available for their Mecha - prior to the beginning of the first stage, the player's robot is granted the choices of 4 different arm weapons, body styles and leg styles, allowing a combination of 64 robot types they can send out.

Wolf Fang: Kuuga 2001 was released in Japanese arcades in 1991. It was released in arcades outside Japan and re-titled Rohga: Armor Force. The arcade versions outside Japan however, have a number of things cut. There is no story intermissions between the stages and there is no stage selection leading to 4 different endings found on the Japanese version, but the game cycles through all 12 stages like in the Japanese version's expert mode.
