After Time Killers faded into oblivion, Strata turned their attention to creating yet another Mortal Kombat killer. What they came up with was BloodStorm, which was released in 1994.According to the needlessly complicated backstory, the world was destroyed in the so-called Mega War. The conflict radically altered the Earth’s geography, climate, and populace, creating a wide range of freaky transhumans. Eight provinces managed to contact each other, forming the Provincial Alliance. After several centuries of peace, the Alliance has begun to fall apart due to paranoia and infighting amongst the provinces. This comes to a head when the High Emperor, the Alliance’s leader, is assassinated. His successor will be chosen in the BloodStorm tournament, a battle between representatives of all eight provinces. Meanwhile, the true mastermind watches and waits.To be fair, while BloodStorm is a fairly average (at best) fighter, it did have some innovative ideas for the time. Each successful fight nets the player one of their opponent’s moves; if said attack required a weapon, it would be added to their sprite. It also included a prototypical save feature, using player-created passwords to record progress and fighting stats. It was also the first weapon fighter to let players drop their weapons willingly, or even change them with another character’s (the change was mostly cosmetic, however). The game also boasted some rather clever ways of unlocking content, such as knocking down a part of the background to cover up a death trap.That being said, the game more or less tried to be a Bloodier and Gorier rival to Mortal Kombat’s then-supremacy. Each character has the usual fatalities, but there was also a “Sunder” move that cut your opponent’s entire lower body off, leaving them sliding around on their entrails. The gameplay, sadly, was a lot closer to Time Killers, meaning limbs would be cut off at near-random, the specials were often clunky and non-responsive, and the actual combat tended to be slower and more forced than its contemporaries. Throw in the hype storm surrounding Mortal Kombat 3, Strata’s own financial woes (they closed down shortly after the game’s completion), and the fact that it never received a console port, and you have a forgotten relic of the arcade era.Not related to the second book of the Batman Vampire trilogy and try not to get it mixed up with Bonestorm | |

Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist: Talon, initially, would kidnap and perform horrific experiments on "bios" to try to cure the flesh-rotting plague ravaging Cyberia. However, as time went by, and he replaced more and more of his brain with circuitry, he became an unfeeling murderer instead intent on dominating all life. | |

A Lighter Shade of Black | |
| BloodStorm (Video Game) / int_19fc58a2 | comment |
A Lighter Shade of Black: Freon, who's just trying to make peace with Scorch. This is a losing proposition, however; the leader of Scorch (to the extent that the kingdom has one) is the Ax-Crazy Hellhound, who delights in murdering his diplomats at the peace conferences. In his ending, humanity is conquered and enslaved by the Ice People - which is still better than many of the possible endings, including Hellhound's. | |

Playing with Fire: Hellhound. He can shoot a burst of flame, he can transform into a similar-looking burst of flame and charge at the opponent, his passable power is turning into a swirling fireball, and his gauntlet shoots a short-range burst of flame. His fatality involves turning into a flaming skeleton to tear off the opponent's limbs. | |

Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Tempest, initially, seems like one of the less morally-warped fighters, concerned mostly with avenging her father's death and ensuring his peace stays in place. Then it turns out that she is her father's killer and the mastermind who unleashed Nekron. Ironically, this ensures that her ending is one of the few "good" ones, as the whole planet unites against her, leading to her defeat and execution. | |

| BloodStorm (Video Game) / int_42846e90 | comment |
Elemental Powers: Atomic Superpower: Fallout. He shoots radioactive slime from his hands, his passable power is an E.R. Cannon, and his gauntlet shoots toxic quills. Blow You Away: Tempest. She can shoot tornadoes that hold the opponent in place, her passable power is a barrier of wind, and her Gauntlet shoots a tornado that stuns enemies and draws them closer. Her Fatality spins her opponent's head around like a tornado. Dishing Out Dirt: Tremor. He can transform into a boulder and roll at enemies or through the air, he can send a shockwave along the ground, his passable power is stomping the ground to cause an earthquake, and his gauntlet shoots stones of three sizes. Playing with Fire: Hellhound. He can shoot a burst of flame, he can transform into a similar-looking burst of flame and charge at the opponent, his passable power is turning into a swirling fireball, and his gauntlet shoots a short-range burst of flame. His fatality involves turning into a flaming skeleton to tear off the opponent's limbs. An Ice Person: Freon. He can freeze enemies solid, morph into an ice slick, and his gauntlet shoots ice boomerangs. Having a Blast: Mirage. Her passable powers are mines and grenades, and her gauntlet likewise shoots grenades. Her Fatality is putting a bomb on her opponent's head. | |

| BloodStorm (Video Game) / int_991c8078 | comment |
Head Swap: The seven Bonus Bosses plus mandatory sub-boss Sin are just the main cast with different colors and heads. Furthermore, Hellhound and Freon are actually just head swaps of each other, but with slightly different standing poses. Blood and Shadow take it one step further by not only being head swaps of Hellhound and Freon (and so head swaps of each other), they even have the exact same moveset. Finally, the various "big head" codes let you play as versions of the normal characters with a different name and a comical oversized head. | |

Ring Out: Possible on the Subterra stage. Both sides are wide open, and falling in leads to an Impaled with Extreme Prejudice moment. By knocking down the stalactite above the pit (by throwing your gauntlet into it twice), one can jump into the pit without dying, which triggers the Optional Boss fight against Golem. | |

| BloodStorm (Video Game) / int_9ac6b0c1 | comment |
Sociopathic Hero: Razor's power of authority may come from a shady and dubious trading network, and his motivations are less than altruistic, but he's still one of the nicer contestants. Helps that he and Tremor have the only endings remotely resembling a "good" ending, aside from Tempest whose ending is good for everyone but her. | |

Finishing Move | |
| BloodStorm (Video Game) / int_a43a691b | comment |
Finishing Move: Each regular character has three: a Decapitation, a Sunder, and a regular Fatality. The Decapitation and Sunder moves can be performed at any time, but have a very small hit radius, plus the Sunder only fully activates against a stunned enemy (and only does normal damage otherwise). The Fatality can only be done when the opponent is stunned, but the opponent's health doesn't have to be already empty. The eight Agents of Nekron lack character-specific Fatalities, only having a Decapitation and Sunder each, which are identical in animation to their normally-playable counterparts. Their Decapitation and Sunder also lack special names. Moreover, a Sunder is not a true finisher, merely doing a lot of damage and removing the opponent's lower half, but not guaranteeing a one-hit kill like the others. If your opponent still has health after a Sunder, they can still fight, but as nothing more than a torso, head, and maybe arms. They can even still potentially win the match if they still have their arms or have moves that don't require arms (like the Optical/Surgical Laser, Cruise Missile, or E.R. Cannon). | |

Pyrrhic Victory: Tempest's ending. After slaying every enemy and winning the Bloodstorm Tournament, she accidentally exposes herself as the killer of the High Emperor. This unites everyone against her and results in her execution. | |

Timed Mission: The fight with Sin takes place in the Chamber of Pain, a torture chamber where The Walls Are Closing In. If you don't kill her before the walls get too close, they shoot out spikes, instantly killing your character and ending the round in a loss. | |

Big Bad Wannabe | |
| BloodStorm (Video Game) / int_c67af1b0 | comment |
Big Bad Wannabe: Tempest. It turns out she's the one who killed the High Emperor and unleashed Nekron upon the world, all so that she could assume power as the new High Emperor. Unfortunately for her, it turns out she still needs to fight in the tournament like everyone else and is just as liable as her opponents are to getting killed. Worse, in the event that she does come out victorious, Tempest ends up exposing her crime and is summarily executed. She loses no matter what the outcome is. | |

Shout-Out | |
| BloodStorm (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: A lot of the Trash Talk codes throw in references, flattering and unflattering, to various targets. 'Sushi-X rules this game!', 'Who cares where Goro is?', 'Dont wizz on the electric fence', 'Eat my shorts' and 'I fart in your general direction' are just a few of the references in the game. Seeing them all might take some effort. One of the Big Head codes gives you a character named SENLIEB, with the body of Hellhound but the oversized head of then-senator (and anti-violence advocate) Joe Lieberman. | |

Power Fist: Each character comes with their own gauntlets, which basically work in this way. They all used the same control inputs to use(to different effects), and could be stolen or swapped in mid-battle. | |

'90s Anti-Hero | |
| BloodStorm (Video Game) / int_da9d2f16 | comment |
'90s Anti-Hero: Just glancing at the screenshots and character names would give one the impression that Rob Liefeld was behind this game. The genocidal, revenge-driven criminal Razor qualifies, mostly because he has a grudge against a far worse enemy and his objectives don't require anyone else to be crushed under his heel. Subverted with Tremor, the only unambiguously good character (though he still causes just as much bloodshed in-game as any of the other characters and definitely still looks the part at least.) | |

Snap Back: When a character loses a limb or even their head, they are automatically fixed by the time the next round starts. In Talon and Razor's case the former can at least be handwaved by the fact that their limbs are robotic and in theory more easily replaceable. Everyone else? ...Eh, don't think about it too hard. | |

Earn Your Happy Ending | |
| BloodStorm (Video Game) / int_f64a9cf7 | comment |
Earn Your Happy Ending: There are three endings that are unambiguously "good" (though one is this for everyone but the player's character): Tremor uses his position as High Emperor to force the other provinces to listen to his advice. Under his leadership, the world finally begins to recover from the damage it's absorbed over the years, and peace is achieved at last. Razor declares war against Cyberia once he takes the throne. Preparing for and carrying out the war allows the provinces to settle their differences and, once Cyberia is burned to the ground, the world remains united, though without Cyberia's advanced technologies. Tempest accidentally reveals, just before her coronation, that she assassinated her father, the previous High Emperor. She immediately flees, but the provinces band together to bring her to justice, and her execution is the first act of a united world. | |
