#BLOODY ROAR EXTREME COVER SERIES#
While prior entries in the series were on Sony consoles, the decision was made to move to Nintendo's GameCube primarily because of its hardware specifications. DevelopmentĮxtreme's development began shortly after Bloody Roar 3 was completed.
In an effort to demonstrate their mercenaries' strength to foreign powers and train additional soldiers, the Kingdom holds a Zoanthrope fighting tournament, with the winner earning the title of "Strongest Zoanthrope" and a large cash prize. Rumors also persist that the Kingdom is conducting some sort of experiments on Zoanthropes, all while some citizens object to its authoritarian rule, threatening the ideal of peace for all Zoanthropes. This new land, however, relies heavily on Zoanthrope soldiers and mercenaries as a source of income, selling their service to various foreign countries. Roughly 80 percent of its residents are Zoanthropes, though both Zoanthropes and humans are considered equal. With human-Zoanthrope relations still unstable, a place called the Kingdom of Zoanthropes is founded to help end oppression and conflict. Team Battle - Choose between three and five characters and fight opposing teams, switching characters as each gets knocked out.Survival - Win as many fights as possible in a row against computer opponents, earning slight life refills by winning matches quickly.Time Attack - Finish the Arcade mode fights as fast as possible.Įxtreme's modes of play include Arcade, Versus and Training mode, as well as: For example, if a character finishes a round in beast form with a near-empty Beast Gauge, they will start the next round that way. Any damage taken recovers faster than in regular beast form.īetween rounds the state of each character and their Beast Gauge is preserved.Beast Drives do not revert a character to human form, unless the Beast Gauge empties.Cancel points greatly increase, allowing for faster and more unpredictable sequences of attacks.However, engaging this form with a less-than-full bar will drain part of the character's life bar.
#BLOODY ROAR EXTREME COVER FULL#
While in prior entries a full Beast Gauge was required to do this, in Extreme this form can be accessed at any time. Players can also enter a stronger, faster version of beast form called Hyper Beast for a short period of time, displayed by the Beast Gauge slowly draining, before reverting to human form.
While in beast form, the player gains various effects, such as: Also, it reverts the Beast Gauge to the blue bar, preventing them from transforming again until it is refilled. An emptied life bar results in a knockout, but emptying the Beast Gauge and knocking the opponent down reverts them to human form. While in beast form, both the life bar and the Beast Gauge deplete. It fills with either a blue bar, indicating the player cannot switch to beast form, or a yellow bar with the words "BEAST CHANGE!!" appearing above it, meaning the player can transform. This gauge fills as the player performs moves or gets attacked. Players start each fight with a full life bar and a Beast Gauge, which allows them to transform into a stronger half-animal fighter. Various characters also have light block counters, which work against certain high or mid-level punches and kicks. Various attacks in the game can break through and stagger opponents using a light block. Attacks can be blocked with either a light guard, performed by not pressing forward or backward, or a heavy guard by holding back or the block button. Special moves are primarily performed using quarter-circle or half-circle motions and a face button, though several exceptions exist. Each character has a set of moves spread across a punch, kick, beast and block button, which is also used for throws.
