Violent Fighter is a Fighting game released by Softstar Entertainment in 1992. It is an interesting DOS game and a must play for all old videogame lovers.
Taiwan fighting from the order of protozoa from the award-winning publisher and developer SoftStar. This game somehow became known outside Asia. In General terms, the games partially copies the famous in those years of Street Fighter. Most reviews on the Western sites dedicated to old games, unflattering comments about Violent Fighter - most likely for simplicity and is not bright enough gameplay. Probably here it is necessary to understand in more detail...
The plot of the game is fairly well developed and interesting. It takes place in new York in the year 2073. In one research cyber lab Corporation AMX due to a bug in a computer program, scientists have finally finished is not the genome, not with the time-space technologies, but that didn't matter... In the end three dangerous mutant escaped and now roam new York, creating a downright disgrace (already started falling skyscrapers); the police with their Arsenal were powerless to stop the monsters. It is obvious that - within this genre of the game is to save the situation can only the best fighter of the Earth, who put these dangerous opponents in a relatively fair melee. For this purpose it was decided to organize a qualifying tournament, where will be found the best participant, and for the destruction of mutants already promised generous prize Fund....
So there are eight fighters with their own unique features. In the best traditions of the genre have their profiles with brief biographical data. In the Intro of the game for each combatant has a detailed animation illustrating certain features of combat, that is special techniques. In the questionnaires summarize: name, weight, height, age, and continent, which is the athlete. The number of the first – of Keyter, a young man, representing the North American continent, specifically the United States. He's very good Boxing. The second room we have is a girl, she was in favour of the Asian region. Her name is Liz, and her father was a martial arts master. Won the money on the girl wants to open a grocery store. Next, we have a fighter named Ali, he also represents Asia. His interest to play in the tournament is associated with more lofty aspirations. To win, he wants to give the opportunity for the poor to obtain education in their country. Another hero of old, he is from Australia. Heights has achieved self-training and based on animal appearance, not without special "vitamins." This boring list of outstanding humanoid fighters ends. Then begins the parade of... unique members. The first is Cyber II is the fruit of years of work of a mad technological genius of Professor Eaton. This being old is only 2 years old. Of course, the money the Professor plans to continue research and perform the next upgrade Cyber'a. Cyborg will represent old Europe. Further we are from alien worlds – Homa. Age – unknown. His purely Mercantile interest, he just crashed his spaceship and now he can't fly home. At the prize he plans to buy a good ship. Since it is a guest in our world, he can't play for the earth's continents, but he was allowed to defend the sporting honour of the South Pole. Homa often rolled into a wheel and powerfully crushes his opponents, he is combo is. Next is the most colorful character – Killer Sea, representing South America. It is amphibious and therefore fight very skillfully uses long tongue and powerful tail. Latest in the list is, indeed, a product manufactured by the Corporation AMX – purple cyborg named Clyde. He doesn't need the prize, unlike the other participants, he clearly tuned to the task of destroying the escaped monsters. Somehow, Clyde is in favour of the African continent.
The gameplay is not very bright, but all strong opponents, and their "put", it is necessary to show miracles of dexterity when working with the keyboard. The classical controls: "arrows" is a movement, and hit – Ctrl and Shift, which corresponds to the attacks in the upper and lower levels. There are also grips in close combat. Combos experimentally could not be found, but descriptions of them mentioned. The indicator at the top of the screen. It shows the level of vitality of a character. The format of the bout – two knockouts in three rounds in 100 seconds. Probably here to understand the plot plot, after defeating seven opponents the player will have to fight with the bosses – the ones who escaped the monsters in the entrance animations look very intimidating. For fans of computer fights with your friends there is a two-player mode – the menu's “Practice”.
The graphics, though bright, but not sufficiently detailed: the fighters could make it much taller then the visual experience would be much better. The scene background is frequently changing and is very diverse. It could be new York, the desert or the coast, there is even space lunar landscape. Music themes are good and sound effects are great to reproduce the bumps. There is one highly ridiculous "trick" – after the game be sure to show portraits of the participants. The winner, of course, looks "right as rain" - one-to-one and before the fight, but lost... Powerful bruising, puffiness, bruising, missing teeth places... only the girl-fighter in such a situation, the politically correct are shown with only a small plaster stuck on her cheek. A high-tech Cyber II in case of loss looks "not very" – mangled plastic helmet with pull wires.
The game, of course, is not so bad, "cut down" opponents, it's hard, and it carries. Drive adds another and the lack of frequent saving. Why Western criticism was a bit wrong, don't end up seeing many good things in the past. Chinese language there is only the introductory animation, which shows the profiles and short descriptions of fighters, so the problems with the translation of the inscriptions in the Latin alphabet during the uncompromising fights then no one there. So let pretentious critics don't take offense, but such a good game still worthy to occupy its own page on our website.
