The game uses a fairly simple fighting engine which requires single button pushes or double button pushes, and a direction to pull of the basic moves. That is all nice and dandy, but what really matters is the fighting engine and mechanics. The other characters follow the some idea. The fox is supposed to symbolize beauty, so that is what he morphs into. For example, the guy who morphs into the fox is said to be obsessed with things that are beautiful and hates everything ugly. The idea is that the human character is much like the beast character. These beasts include a wolf, lion, mole, wild boar, tiger, rabbit, gorilla, and a fox.

The 8 characters, both male and female, each have an altered ego that they can morph into. Since the morphing is such a big part of this game, the characters are very important and are obviously a huge part of the game. However, since you can only morph to the beast when your beast meter is high enough, it keeps you from staying in the beast form for the whole fight. In a way, it is almost like there are 16 characters instead of 8. This also let the developers design characters that somewhat resemble their beast counterparts, so when they transform, you can definitely see the connection. The morphing now makes each fighter, in essence, two different characters. In the end, however, the gameplay isn't anything we haven't already seen before. Anyway, the morphing sheds some new light on the fighting arena. In a way, it reminds me of the old Genesis classic, Altered Beast, only it is a fighting game. When you morph, you will be stronger, faster, and have more attacks to help you rip your opponent to shreds.

Knowing this, the creators of Bloody Roar have come up with a cool idea - your character can morph into a beast during fights. Nowadays you have to have something new, something inventive to make your game stand out from the rest. Gameplayįighting games have become a dime a dozen. If the developers were hoping to make Bloody Roar a fighting game with a new twist, they were definitely successful. The real selling point of the game is the morphing ability - so read on to learn more. The fighting is fast and action-packed, and it's simple to pick up a controller and start playing.

The game packs in just about every option imaginable, and even some that you may not have imagined.
