Bloody Roar 2 (originally released in Japan as Bloody Roar 2: Bringer of the New Age) is a fighting video game developed by Eighting and Raizing and published by Hudson Soft. It follows the success of the first Bloody Roar (1997) and became an important part of the entire series. The game is notable for its fast-paced and dynamic combat system, unique “beast” transformations, and a distinctive visual style that combines classic fighting gameplay with special abilities for each character. Although sometimes mistakenly considered purely an arcade title, it gained popularity primarily on consoles—specifically the PlayStation—and through various ports.

 

1. BASIC INFORMATION

 

• Developers: Eighting and Raizing
• Publisher: Hudson Soft
• Platforms: Originally on PlayStation (1999), versions for arcade cabinets in certain regions, and later re-releases (e.g., via PlayStation Network).
• Genre: Fighting (versus fighting)
• Game Modes: Single-player, multiplayer (1 vs. 1)
• Release Date: 1999 (release years differ by region and port)

 

2. STORY

 

The story of Bloody Roar 2 takes place shortly after the events of the first game. In a modern-like world, there exists a secret race known as Zoanthropes—humans who, due to a genetic anomaly, can transform into an animal or mythical creature. After the existence of Zoanthropes was revealed, society has become wary and discriminates against them.
The main plot involves a series of violent attacks and disappearances of people in various cities. Zoanthropes are unjustly accused of these crimes. A group of main characters, who often find themselves as outsiders, sets out to uncover the conspiracy behind the outbreaks of violence while also confronting their own personal struggles. Through battles and story sequences, players reveal the enemies’ motives and work to discover who is truly pulling the strings of the worldwide threat.

 

3. GAMEPLAY

 

a) Combat System
• Unlike traditional 2D or 3D fighting games of the time, Bloody Roar 2 offers fast and dynamic action.
• The player controls a character in both human form and an animal-like form. Switching between the two (the so-called Beast Form) is possible during a match, and the majority of move combinations change accordingly.
• A key element is the Beast Gauge—an energy meter that charges as you deal and receive damage. Once it’s sufficiently filled, the character can transform into beast form, gaining stronger attacks, special moves, and often faster health regeneration.
• The fighting system focuses on combos, swift reactions, and strategic use of transformations.

 

b) Characters
• Each playable character has a unique fighting style and a distinct animal form. Examples include a wolf, tiger, rabbit, bat, or chameleon.
• Beyond their unique fighting styles, characters differ in speed, damage output, and the difficulty of executing combos.
• Popular fighters such as Yugo (wolf), Alice (rabbit), and Gado (lion) return from the first installment, while new characters—people/Zoanthropes with original designs—expand the story.

 

c) Game Modes
• Arcade Mode: The main single-player mode, where you battle a series of opponents and discover the chosen character’s backstory.
• Versus Mode: Allows two players to fight each other on the same console (or, in the case of the arcade version, on the arcade cabinet).
• Survival Mode: The player attempts to win as many consecutive matches as possible with limited health.
• Training: Useful for learning and practicing combos and special attacks.
• Extra Modes: Some versions include additional content, such as model or artwork galleries and extra costumes for characters.

 

4. GRAPHICS AND AUDIO

 

The game uses 3D character models and 2D backgrounds with 3D elements—a popular solution for fighting games of that era. Character models are more detailed than in the first game, and the transformations between human and beast forms are rendered with striking visual effects that highlight the difference between the two forms.
The sound design—from the soundtrack to the sound effects—creates an action-packed atmosphere and heightens the tension of the matches. The music combines rock or metal motifs with electronic elements, contributing to an energetic, sometimes dramatic ambience.

 

5. DEVELOPMENT AND RELEASE

 

• The game was developed by the same key team members who created the original Bloody Roar, ensuring it retains the signature style of the first title, while expanding gameplay mechanics and improving technical aspects.
• It was originally released in 1999 on the PlayStation console, followed by an arcade version (in some regions) and later re-releases (such as on the PlayStation Network).
• In Japan, it was distributed with the subtitle Bringer of the New Age, emphasizing the story about a new era for Zoanthropes.

 

6. RECEPTION

 

• Both critics and players praised the game for its fluid, fast-paced combat and the original concept of transforming into an animal form.
• Compared to the first installment, the graphics saw overall improvements, though some occasional inconsistencies in detail were criticized.
• The musical and sound design were generally well-received: the strong guitar riffs and energetic soundtrack complemented the action-oriented nature of the fights.
• In terms of story, many appreciated the attempt at delivering a deeper narrative than typically seen in fighting games of that era, though some criticized the relatively short length of each character’s campaign.
• Commercially, the game was a success and helped solidify the Bloody Roar series among the unique fighting games of its time.

7. IMPACT ON THE SERIES AND FURTHER SEQUELS • Following Bloody Roar 2, the developers released subsequent titles, such as Bloody Roar 3 (2000) and Bloody Roar 4 (2003). These further garnered a dedicated fan base.
• The mechanics of transformations, fast action, and original characters became the core identity of the brand. Later releases attempted to innovate to keep up with competitors (e.g., Tekken, Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat).
• Though the franchise eventually became less prominent and did not receive as many sequels as other major fighting series, Bloody Roar 2 remains a favorite among fans.

 

8. TRIVIA

 

• Many fans favored the characters specifically due to their unique transformations—for example, the chilly elegance of a bat-woman versus the ferocious power of wolves or lions.
• Some versions offer secret characters or special costumes unlocked by meeting certain conditions (e.g., completing the arcade mode without losing a match).
• While Bloody Roar was sometimes compared to other “animal-themed” fighting games (such as Primal Rage), its modernized graphics, smoother gameplay, and transformations helped it quickly build its own loyal community of fans.

 

CONCLUSION

 

Bloody Roar 2 is renowned for its unique fighting system and impressive animal transformations, which set it apart from competing fighting titles. Fast-paced combat, unconventional character designs, and sophisticated combo systems have earned it a permanent spot in the genre’s history. Although largely associated with console gaming, certain versions and cabinets did make appearances in arcades, where it maintained a reputation as both popular and original. Today, Bloody Roar 2 is regarded as a cult classic that introduced innovative elements to the fighting game genre, continuing to attract fans who appreciate both its old-school gameplay and the unique atmosphere of the series.
