You can choose to fight either a computer-controlled opponent or another human player. Instead of beginning a whole new game, you can fight a single duel, choosing the opponent and terrain. Once you have defeated them, you can watch an ending animation, different depending on the character you have chosen. If the computer-controlled player won, it's game over (but you can still use a continue to start the fight anew) if you won, you move on to the next opponent. Each battle lasts a number of rounds (how many - that is determined in the options menu) once one combatant has won that number of times during the battle, he wins. Throughout the game, your character travels across Dalai Llama's island, fighting a series of duels before getting to the final showdown.ĭuring a duel, you can punch and kick your opponent, try to use special attacks on him/her, or use a "taunt" that restores a bit of your health. There are a wide variety of furry creatures to take on, and finally the Dalai Llama himself.īrutal: Paws of Fury is a one-on-one fighting game across a variety of levels, with mostly outdoor terrain. The Dalai Llama has organised a martial arts contest for animals of all species to prove their skills, and you are competing in it. On the other hand, the Amiga version, thanks to better compression, features two additional characters.Amiga, Amiga CD32, Genesis, SEGA CD, SNES

The Amiga version is a faithful conversion of the Mega Drive one, excluding the controls, that use 3 buttons in the SEGA version, something not possible on the Amiga version where the joystick has one button only. Hopefully, the religious leader didn't get offended by the reference. Funnily, the final boss to defeat is Dali Llama - a llama, of course. Not to mention Kung-Fu Bunny, which makes you wonder if Pixar didn't take inspiration from this game when they created Kung Fu Panda in 2008. Much like a Disney movie, you will have heroes such as Ivan the Bear, Tai Cheetah, Prince Leon of Kenya, Rhei Rat, and others. Unlike Mortal Kombat with its hyper-realistic graphics, or Street Fighter II, which had human combatants (though with fantasy powers), Paws of Fury features a cast of animal fighters. The game was also ported and released for the Amiga, SNES, and MS-DOS. Brutal: Paws of Fury is a competitive beat-em-up created by GameTek for SEGA CD and Mega Drive/Genesis in 1994.
