Though some machines are said to have only 3 buttons since the original "Grab/ Throw" move was just the "P+K" combination. The controls, however, are a slight bit more complicated and should be cell to an 8-way joystick and 6 buttons. The Arcade appears totally the same as Bloody Roar, but with simplified screens and credits and a unique mode arcade with the possibility for a second player to interrupt and oppose the first player. The housing in which the arcade game's hardware resided was a horizontal cabinet type. The arcade version was released on July 7, 1997, and was titled Beastorizer in North America. It was later adapted for the PlayStation. In certain conditions, the recovery is unable, for example, when a character is knocked into a spiral falling animation.īloody Roar was originally developed as an arcade game. The Recovery system allows the character to recover after being launched into the air (Air recovery) or knocked down (Ground recovery) to escape or to use a landing or rising attack. You can also avoid your opponent's mid and high attacks by ducking (doing a Lie Down Stance), be careful ducking makes you more vulnerable from low attack. Also, many opponent's attacks can be canceled with a Guard Move but each attack has a cancel point where the cancellation is impossible for the opponent. A character can execute a Guard Attack, an usually slow attack that start-up in an upper-body defensive move, or a Guard Escape, where he can sidestep after guarding an attack. In terms of defensive gameplay, Bloody Roar offers various systems. Battles would last for two rounds (three, culminating in a 'Final Round' if both characters scored a win in each of the first two rounds) and end with a 'K.O.' when the life bar was completely emptied. When it ran out, one hit could break the beast transformation. The rave button eliminated recovery time between combos and gave the characters ten times the speed, though this was at the cost of the beast bar. While in Beast mode your character will automatically recover a portion of their health, the recoverable amount depends on how much damage you have taken and is displayed as light blue on the health bar, about 40% of an attack damage will be blue health.Īlso, within the beast form, the rave button became available - this is the early version of the 'hyper beast' form which would appear later in the series.
The beast transformation would end when the beast gauge was completely depleted. Attacks on the beast form would deduct from the beast gauge, though would still do some damage to the life bar on a decreased level. Once the character transformed, the beast button could be used as a part of the attack arsenal. The transformation starts with a shockwave that can push away the opponent. When filled up, pressing the beast button would transform the player character into their powerful and more agile animal form. Its originality came with the use of the 'beast' button. A combination between the Punch, Kick and Beast buttons could create different attack moves while combining both together (Punch and Kick) would trigger a unique 'throw' move. As they teamed up, Yugo, Gado, Mitsuko, and Alice succeed to restore Uriko's conscience and freeing her.įollowing this victory, Gado annihilates the Tylon HQ and reveals to the world their experiment but also the existence of the Zoanthropes, introducing the humanity into a new era.īloody Roar's control system was a simple combination of the traditional fighting game set up with a five buttons gameplay (Punch, Kick, Beast, Cancel, Rave). The battle against Uriko has proven difficult but Yugo was not only supported by Gado but, also, Alice, a previous hostage of Tylon who knew Uriko before her brainwashing, and Mitsuko, Uriko's mother. Uriko is a young girl who was brainwashed by the corporation and with the power to transform herself into a powerful Zoanthrope, the Chimera. However, It's not counting on Uriko, the secret weapon of Tylon. Together they promise to destroy Tylon, liberate all the hostages, and put an end to Tylon's brutal experiments. In his journey, he meets Gado, an old comrade in the arms of his father. Yugo, a wolf Zoanthrope, is trying to avenge his father who was previously killed in a war against Tylon. The multinational organization uses its creations as advanced troops in global military invasions. Tylon, a bio-corporation, experiments on Zoanthropes in an attempt to turn them into military weapons. There are people known as Zoanthropes that have the ability to transform themselves into animal hybrids at their will.
