Dark Half is a tactical RPG for the Super Famicom that features two concurrent campaigns that the player alternates between. It was developed by Westone, better known for the much more lighthearted Wonder Boy series, and published by RPG giant Enix.

The player alternates between Rukyu, a demonic overlord who commands the forces of darkness to raze villages to the ground in order to absorb their soul energy, and the paladin Falco, who visits these destroyed towns and helps its souls find peace. The goal of Rukyu's chapters is to find and eliminate Falco which will sever his benevolent God Rudo's connection to the world, and Falco's is similarly to eliminate Rukyu to prevent the destruction of the world.

The game was released late in the Super Famicom's lifespan and never saw an English localization, though a long-in-production fan translation was picked up and completed by the Aeon Genesis group in 2015.
