Bloody Roar

Bloody Roar, known in Europe as Bloody Roar: Hyper Beast Duel, is a fighting game originally developed by Raizing as an arcade title and adapted for PlayStation by Hudson Soft. Published in PAL territories by Virgin Interactive, the game’s central mechanic allows players to transform their fighters into powerful animal-human hybrid forms, each with distinct combat abilities. The narrative is set within a world of genetic experimentation, with a corporation exploiting human zoanthrope abilities for military purposes. A single PAL variant is catalogued, released on 15 March 1998 and covering the UK, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain. The release is presented in English on a single disc in a Full Jewel PAL case with a Hologram A sticker on the case. With only one pressing documented, Bloody Roar is a compact entry in the PAL fighting game catalogue and a worthwhile pickup for fans of the genre.
