![]() Holding any direction on the d-pad results in a miriad of different attacks. You have to get up close and personal to do damage, but you can also back off and run at a foe by tapping forward twice. There are no projectile attacks which makes Bloody Roar a bit more realistic in it’s fighting engine. You can move left and right, and each face button is set to a different punch or kick. That’s also the basis for the unique element of the game.īloody Roar is a 3D fighter that at first seems pretty typical. All you need to know is that each playable character can transform into a beast form which is unique to each one. Of course each character has their own background and story, but these are entirely generic so I’m going to skip them over. The basis of the game is centered around a tournament organized by a corporation seeking to use these skills for evil. These are people who can transform into animals at will to enhance their fighting abilities. ![]() This one involves a group of humans known as zoanthropes.

What’s funny is that I never bothered to track down my own copy of the game until recently. This demo disc soon became the one I played more than any other. This was in a time when I wasn’t really into the genre, but I still tried it out because I didn’t have anything to lose. A demo disc came into my possession which had a sample for this low key fighting game. Does anyone remember the days when demo discs were a thing? I do, and that’s mostly because of Bloody Roar.
