comment |
A 1995 Sega Saturn exclusive somewhat-platform based Fighting Game developed by Scarab (their second attempt at the genre after Survival Arts), released in Japan by Naxat Soft and in the U.S. by Acclaim.It falls into the category of the considerably large line-up of fighters that are considered Mortal Kombat 'rip-offs'; however, this game only seems to take inspiration from Mortal Kombat aesthetic (dark tones, digitized sprites and a minor amount of blood), but little-to-nothing Gameplay-wise. Ironically enough, this game actually plays more like Street Fighter than Mortal Kombat games; it doesn't even have Fatalities.The selection of characters is very odd, ranging from a headless knight to a ghost to a two-midgets-duo. The game was called Battle Monsters, so that was to be expected.Received a spiritual sequel in 1996's Killing Zone for PlayStation. |

comment |
Use Your Head: Fangore can use his head as a buzzsaw as a normal move, and can turn it into a spinning flame as a special move. And that's to say nothing of Harn literally using his own head as a weapon. |
