Uranus is a character for those who want to work out their frustrations (laughs). 3 He has attacks like his missile barrage that are very impactful, especially if you’re not aware of them beforehand. His true identity is that one character from the first game, and having him reappear in a mecha-style form seemed to me like a natural direction to take. He has a powerful beast form with a long reach and a lot of tricky movement options, and so his human form is a little restrained in response.Īs for the hidden characters: Kohryu’s here, just as I promised. The new character Xion was included due to our desire to give Yugo a rival, someone with an anti-hero image. Stun’s been properly established as a grappler, and Uriko’s what you might call a character for advanced players. 2 Shenlong has an edgier image and a significant number of new moves that would be completely out of character for Long. Long has the new Tiger Six-Level Combo Ring (Rokugo Korin Shiki), which was inspired by the keyword “New Rokugo”. (laughs) She had a reputation for being a little chintzy in the last game so she was completely overhauled this time… we might have made her a bit too strong. Thanks to the air combo system, Jenny’s gone from strength to strength. Alice fills the all-rounder role, and Bakuryu utilizes more ninjutsu-Bloody Roar lacked a projectile character, right? Not that Bakuryu has projectiles, but he fits that archetype.īusuzima’s beast form was buffed, and we reinforced Gado’s image as a brute-force character. Yugo was made into more of a boxer, and the version you see now is the result of us trying to make him a little cooler design-wise. (source) Upgrading the returning charactersįor the returning characters, we wanted to expand upon the play styles we’d established with the last game. A flashy exhibition video that demonstrates how stylish Bloody Roar 3 can look in the right hands. Truthfully, one of my goals was to offer an ultimate power-up, one that’d let even novice players clutch out a win against more skilled players every now and again-if they’re not able to enjoy themselves, they won’t stick around. Speaking of tactics, there’s also Hyper Beast 1 mode: when’s the correct time to go into hyper? Should you stick it out with the regular beast form? Making those reads is part of the fun, I think. Being near-death is dangerous, but it also offers a chance to turn the tables, and I think we came up with a great system that makes beastorizing more of a tactical tool.

Additionally, when you’re low on health in your human form, your Beast Gauge fills much quicker-in this state, Stun can build a full meter off his 3-throw combo. In the last game, the only benefit to the Beast Drives (super attacks) was raw damage, and then you’d reset to human form, but in this game, reverting to human form after landing a Beast Drive will restore some of your red life, so it has a very different utility. We’ve also added more decision-making to the act of beastorizing. (laughs) Broadening the utility of Beastorization To put it another way, we want players to feel as if they’re projecting their alter-ego onto the screen. Our aim from the first game has been to create something where the player can freely make decisions as they play, and with this game I feel like we’re getting close to that ideal fighting game we envisioned from the beginning. I wanted to make a game where the player’s able to quickly and deliberately make a tactical decision, and that type of thinking also extends to guard attacks, ukemi and all other aspects of Bloody Roar. We broke down and reconstructed all the game’s systems and techniques in this manner, not just Block Evade, with the idea of clarifying the purpose of each specific action and allowing players to immediately identify which action to take in any given circumstance.įor example, the Fast Evade (Girigiri Escape) lets you avoid everything except throws and immediately counterattack-the input window is very tight, but it’s the sort of move that’ll spring to mind when the player’s in a tough spot, and if they’re confident they can pull it off, they’ll immediately try it out. The previous games featured the Block Evade (Guard Escape) system, but having both the timed escape command and the axis shift as part of the same action was detrimental to the game balance, so for this game, we examined the evasive maneuver and the z-axis movement separately: the last-minute evasion was helpful for avoiding certain moves, and the side-step was useful for avoiding getting cornered against a wall, and alternately, for advancing upon the opponent. “A hard drinker from Hokkaido who develops Bloody Roar in pursuit of the perfect game he’s also a top-class Bloody Roar player who goes by the title ‘Beast King'”.
