comment
Capital Punishment is an obscure Fighting Game developed by the Serbian developer ClickBoom exclusively for the AGA-based Amigas in the late 1996, really late in the systems' lifespan. While a rather roughly designed game, handful of things about this one stands out.This is one of those fighting games with very few playable characters coupled with handful of AI-exclusive characters on top of that, akin to Art of Fighting, Fatal Fury: King of Fighters and Red Earth among others, and the game's main single-player mode - dubbed Epic - has you fight both the bosses and other playable characters. The gimmick with the game's structure is that as the other playable warriors are stated to be Brainwashed and Crazy, the fights with them are followed by Mirror Matches that has you take control your past opponent confronting one's evil spirit. These are optional, but winning these have them join your party, letting you switch characters between further fights. These extra fighters are also your extra continues, and you may need them, as the game is rather bloody hard.Oh, and one of the fighters happens to be a Dominatrix that looks like a gender bent version of Daredevil and goes lengths the likes of Mai Shiranui, Ivy Valentine and the girls of Dead or Alive wouldn't dare to reach by completely exposing her breasts.

comment
Brainwashed and Crazy: The manual states that the characters you didn't pick at the start have been captured by Qwesul and have their own taken over. The purpose of the Mirror Matches is to provide a chance of snapping them out of Qwesul's control.

Stage Fatality: Provided the "traps" option is enabled, few stages have lethal hazards like spiked walls opponents can knock opponents onto, which usually results in an One-Hit Kill.

Easy-Mode Mockery: The "training" difficulty option only lets you play through the first three (not counting the Mirror Matches) fights of the Epic mode..... and the game still isn't that easy anyway.

 Capital Punishment (Video Game) / int_1f92e4c6
comment
Regenerating Health: Opponent's slowly gain health and stamina while standing still, and the game's default "mixed" energy setting also has opponents gain a bit of health every time they hit their target. Other settings include "plain" (standard fighting game life behaviour with no Life Drain) or "tug of war".

 Capital Punishment (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae
comment
Awesome, but Impractical: The so-called "special moves" (which are usually baked in tripple hit combos) are performed by pressing the fire button three times without moving and then pressing any of the cardinal directions. The input method makes them impractical to the point of being predictable against human player, and it's unlikely the ever ferocious AI would ever let you perform them either.

 Capital Punishment (Video Game) / int_4873d055
comment
Use Your Head: The male playable characters have this move, under the up+back+fire command (the same command for Demona has her do a short range whip attack instead). Wakantanka also has a ramming charge done with back+fire (the same command has other playable characters doing a flying kick).

Extremity Extremist: Downplayed, Wakantanka's fighting style is more punch-heavy compared to the other characters', with up+forward+fire and forward+fire having him do elbow strikes a torso-level punch (the other characters do head-level and torso-level kicks with the same commands respectively).

Sequel Hook: In the ending cinematic we see glimpses of some godlike(?) figure descend upon a smaller figure (hard to tell if it's us or Qesul), and then QWESUL LIVES.... TO BE CONTINUED... flash to a logo of Capital Punishment 2......with the numeral in the logo being shaped a bit like a question mark, which amusingly implied not even the developers were sure if they'd ever get to develop a sequel.

Shameless Fanservice Girl: Can't get more shameless than a dominatrix that fights with completely exposed chest, nipples and all. There's also her winpose which has her turn her back to the camera Cammy-style.... followed by leaning upside down to look at the camera beneath her legs, accentuating her buttocks.

Schrödinger's Player Character: While this is a fighting game, with it's single-player nature it's aversion is still noteworthy. The fighters you didn't pick became Brainwashed and Crazy by the Big Bad and there's even a chance to make them join your party if you succeed at their Mirror Matches.

comment
Tech-Demo Game: The developers have pushed the Amiga 1200 to it's absolute limits with all of its graphical effects, which ended up having a side effect of making the game quite a challenge to even run. The game requires an AGA machine with a hard drive at minimum, and even then a boot disk is more than recommended to free up the RAM resources that would've been otherwise used by the Workbench, and even then it's not unheard that it would take either a fan made patch or tracking down a pre-installed version to have any chance of booting up the game.

Hitbox Dissonance
 Capital Punishment (Video Game) / int_a5e998f0
comment
Hitbox Dissonance: It can go optionally two ways. The game's advanced options section includes an "accuracy" setting that would determine the collision detection of the characters, with "easy" (a more traditional collision with square coordinates that tolerates meaties) or "realistic" (a "pixel-perfect" collision system.... that also requires such precision that certain moves would whiff if used too close) being available.

comment
Break Meter: These two bars around the fighter's portrait are not Life Meters. These are in fact two seperate stun meters, which of these being depleted depends on the attack that hits the opponent (head blows affecting the upper bar, body blows affecting the lower bar), with depleting either one of the bars resulting in an opponent getting fatigued (and yes, it's possible to stun the opponent twice in a row if both of these bars are low enough). These bars also double as Guard meter, as they are still depleted when blocking (by holding back+down) as well.

 Capital Punishment (Video Game) / int_bbca7a41
comment
Mirror Match: Each succesful fight with an other playable character in the Epic mode is followed by such fight, where you take control of the character you just defeated against the same character's shadowy clone. Defeat the shadow, and the fighter's "soul gets freed" and joins your party, allowing you to switch characters before the next fights. Fail such match, and the campaign still continues on, just without the character that would have otherwise joined.
