Brutal: Paws of Fury

A 2D fighting game where anthropomorphic animals compete in a tournament on Brutal Island. You pick from a roster of martial artist characters, each with their own fighting style and special moves. Matches play out in one-on-one battles across different arena backdrops. Combat combines standard punches and kicks with character-specific techniques—timing your attacks and reading opponent patterns matters more than button-mashing. The tournament structure has you face successive opponents until you reach the final challenger. Master Dali Llama oversees the competition, though he's more setup than active participant. Fighters come from varied cultural backgrounds, reflected in their movesets and visual design. It's straightforward arcade fighting without complex systems layered on top.
