Manual
Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is a fighting game where players choose from various characters, including "Zoanthropes" (human-beast hybrids), to engage in combat. The game features a story of conflict between humans, Zoanthropes, and a liberation front, with players battling through opponents in arcade-style matches.
Story
The Fear Continues
The Tylon Corporation is dead! Tylon was the infamous bio-corporation that used the human body as the basis for its "Zoanthropes" - genetically altered super beast-beings. The industrial giant then used its creations as advance troops in global military invasions.
The Zoanthropes' mutiny in the original BLOODY ROAR destroyed the powerful multi-national organization. But the Zoanthropes' inhuman dealings with their victims caused worldwide revolt. The Zoanthropes rightfully earned their name as "enemies of the human race."
Hostilities between humans and Zoanthropes exploded. Reports of Zoanthrope hunts and their toll in human life flooded the news. Reacting to the bloodshed, a group emerged that supported the Zoanthropes. They called themselves the "Zoanthrope Liberation Front" and declared war on the hunters.
But the Front's terrorist tactics raised suspicion. Rumors began leaking out that the Front secretly kidnapped Zoanthropes and held them hostage.
Five years have passed since the collapse of the Tylon Corporation, and the world is in uproar. The three warring factions are the Human Race, the ZLF, and a loose alliance of renegade Zoanthropes. Distrust among these three camps has reached critical mass. The future of life as we know it is at stake.
One army will crush the other two possibly forever! Can the world survive this cataclysmic clash? Join the deadly warriors of the new millennium and rage against the super-beasts who threaten to destroy the world!
