    I remember seeing this game in a magazine and being insanely hyped for it. My local arcade got Killer Instinct instead, and I promptly forgot this. Lucked out, I'd say.

      I recall reading about this game as well in an old issue of EGM, citing it as "one of the goriest games ever." But yet, I too have never seen it in any arcades that I've ever been to. Only just now seeing it for the very first time.

      Pretty bad move on both sides to be honest. On MKs, the marketing was not sanctioned/authorized and remarkedly awful that it got him fired and is likely why people who havent even played BS shit on it. On IT's side, they should've fired their PR manager for thinking that was an okay decision and it hardly plays like MK anyway, my time on MAME was long, it plays really more like Street Fighter, Eternal Champions and Barbarian (arcade game).

      Funnily enough it's not even the only Mortal Kombat ripoff with this "twist." The story of the far, _far_ worse game "Shadow: War of Succession" is that organized crime boss Kincaid Storm is assassinated by way of a Hind gunship flying up to his New York penthouse and blowing it away (yes, really.) One of the characters is his daughter Erika, her start of fight taunt is "my name is Erika Storm, you killed my father, prepare to die" (yes, really.) Beat the game with her and it turns out she's the orchestrator of the Russian gunship assassination in the first place.

    Tempest's victory pose feels uncomfortable. Where is her center of gravity?
    Her ending... FAIL for her. They couldn't even have the stones to actually show her execution animation?
    Talon looks like Lex Luthor in his battle armor. And then you are thrown against a same opponent in the same armor (but colored differently) called Craniac. Like Brainiac, Superman's other foe. Coincidence? I think not!
    Love how the "arm extensions" are pre-rendered 3d, in that glorious early 90s quality.
    The "arm loss" mechanic is fun, but much more could have been done with it.
    There are good ideas, but the overall concept is not too inspired. Most of the characters are a few notches from "generic".
    I am glad you played with Tempest.

    love the CAT FIGHT intro text when Tempest and another chick are about to fight...and this game was apparently produced by a woman, according to the credits. Also that ending, WTF?? What a waste of time only to be overthrown by your own citizenry.

    • @NTA247
      @NTA247 8 лет назад +7

      Regarding the ending, I suppose it was just as well. If it weren't for the surprise twist mentioned in the ending (after which it would make sense for Tempest to be overthrown and executed once the truth came out), Tempest would've been just another Kitana rip-off.

    This game was ahead of it's time. Like how you could save your progress with a password and upgrade your character. The problem is they cut a lot of corners and a lot of characters lack really defining characteristics like other fighting games. Also this was before the internet so this game wound up being really obtuse in actually knowing how to do anything.
    like, i could see this as a cult Steam fighting game if it was releases within the last ten years. Also the combat is too fast and choppy to feel like you're really in control of the fight.

    Watching this video, I realize I've been a bit too harsh on Bloodstorm. The gameplay is in need of some work, but now that I've seen some of its secrets, like special stage kills, hidden maneuvers into the background, and the methods used to uncover the secret agents, I have to give Strata credit for their crazy creativity. There's one or two secrets for almost every stage or battle, which would definitely keep me playing.
    The gore's still as over the top as ever (even in the attract screen, when the assassin splits open the Emperor's belly), but I had believed it was easier to lop off your enemies' appendages. I saw an arm fly off here and there, but no legs (unless I skipped them while FFwding to the end).
    Great skill at playing, by the way! Some of those moves were mighty difficult to pull off, and it came right down to the wire for the final boss.
