War Gods is a 3D fighting game by Midway Games, released in arcades in 1996 and ported to the Nintendo 64 and PlayStation in 1997. With Midway Chicago (better known these days as NetherRealm Studios) still knee-deep in polishing up Mortal Kombat 3 and its eventual Ultimate update, it would be a couple of years before they could enter the burgeoning 3D fighting realm being carved by Tekken and Virtua Fighter. To fill their market void, Midway commissioned a small development team made up of younger staff to take a crack at it, the result being War Gods.In the distant past, a spaceship carrying a powerful ore with the power to create life crash lands on Earth. Chunks of the Ore are scattered across the planet; over the course of human history, ten mortals find pieces of the Ore, which transforms each of them into immortal warriors. The ten have now gathered to fight over each other's pieces of the Ore.The game did not make much waves critically or commercially upon release, and its legacy was a long-standing urban legend that it was a testing game for Mortal Kombat 4's hardware. Despite being debunked by Midway Chicago's Ed Boon since release, it was confirmed by co-project lead George Petro that War Gods was indeed an isolated production that didn't even run on MK-related hardware, but rather, the graphics engine of Cruis'n USA.For the book series, see The War Gods. For the trope, see War God. For the unrelated, yet successful Sony franchise, see God of War. | |

Digitized Sprites: One of the rare games to use this in combination with 3D models; the developers photographed their actors then "wrapped" the skins around the wireframe model while combining it with motion-capture animation. | |

Some Dexterity Required: The Fatalites are very hard to pull in the arcade version. Thankfully, got simplified in the Nintendo 64 and PlayStation ports. | |

A Winner Is You: Despite each character having a specific backstory, everyone shares the same generic ending of possessing the Ore and bringing peace back to the world, regardless of their heroic or villainous alignment. | |

Vanilla Edition | |
| War Gods (Video Game) / int_746bfee8 | comment |
Vanilla Edition: The PS1/N64 ports are very barebones, even for the time - there's only the traditional arcade ladder, and while a second player can jump in by pressing start during the game, there's no separate VS. Battle mode, despite that long being a standard in fighting game home ports by this point. | |

Two Girls to a Team: While not a team per se, the roster has only two female characters: Viking virago Vallah, and dark art practioner Pagan. The bosses Grox and Exor, alien as they are, are also male-coded. | |

Taken for Granite: Pagan's Fatality, where she releases Medusa's head, and it turns the opponent to stone before Eye Beams blow them up. Amusingly, the first part of the move doesn't work on Tak, since he's already a statue. He taunts the head until it blasts him to pieces. | |
