Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Time Killers is a Fighting Game released in arcades in 1992 by Strata, around the same time as Mortal Kombat. The game's story features eight characters (Rancid, Matrix, Orion, Musashi, Lord Wulf, Leif, Thugg and Mantazz) from throughout time, hand-picked by Death to battle each other before facing Death himself.The game has an unusual control scheme: two punches, two kicks, and a head button, laid out in the shape of the human body. But it really distinguishes itself by featuring a healthy amount of violence. Every character carries some sort of bladed weapon, and it is possible to cut of one or both of the opponent's arms, potentially leaving them unable to block. Not only that, but there are Death Moves, which are activated by pressing all five buttons at once and, if they connect, will cut the opponent's head off and immediately end the round (even at the very beginning). Super Death Moves take off not only the head, but also any remaining arms.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Because the game's violence was more accessible than that in MK, Time Killers was briefly popular, but its fame soon died down. There is also a Sega Genesis port that was released in 1996.

All There in the Manual: The handbook features a very detailed story for each of the characters, but you wouldn't know by playing the game itself.

Ambidextrous Sprite: It gets a little silly when which arm a character lost depends on which direction they're facing. The game's controls take it into account - instead of "left" and "right", the game designates sides as "weapon" and "back". The back arm is always lost first.
