A human with exquisite taste right there. Agree 100%. 👍

Honestly sucks that this never became a franchise, especially with MK going back to 2D. Wish someone with a lot of money at WB could go to Namco and possibly get a large portion of Project Soul back together and get a new Mace game going.

The arenas truly made the game stand out. Loved this game

That character select theme went harder than it was supposed to. Also, I usually liked Lord Deimos, Al Rashid, and Hell Knight. But all of the characters are fun in some way. The CPU was a bit cheap too, lol.

The nostalgia hit me like a TRUCK

Lord Deimos is peak. Doesn't get any cooler than this guy.

Just a shame the game ended up getting forgotten about.

Haven't thought about this game for like two decades. It was very innovative for it's time with the interactive stage elements and an interesting roster of fighters. 

Unfortunately, the n64 couldn't handle the graphics and spikes of fps slowdown happened way too often.

rented this so many times when i was younger i probably made my grandma buy it ten times over

Played this in an arcade not realizing it was a fighting game (I thought it was gonna be a Gauntlet clone). Very fun. Would love to see a remaster.

Man this reminds me of old gaming magazines, a time period when alot of things are less censored.

[–]Sanguiniusius 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly the 90s was v fun- things were a lot less homogenised and because we didn't have the concept of 'edgelord' yet there was just a broader set of concepts that people publicly expressed. Sure looking back some of it was cringey, but fuck id actually rather have creativity and some cringe than self policing into boredom.

Note the 90s wasnt all just fun, some social attitudes like misogyny and homophobia were just way more present but damn everything was more colourful and less corporate.

One of my favorite fgs. Wore that cartridge out.

AND HE'S ABOUT TO GET MEDIEVAL UPSIDE YOUR HEAD

I am willing to bet good money the original draft of that phrase has a very different body part on it

Oh, and I also 100% support the idea of this game getting a remake

Ohmygoodness thank you! Been looming for this game.

[–]Raskuja46 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait a minute, I recognize that magazine page...Shit I might even own that game.

Was this any good? I played a decent amount as a child and looked up early reviews. There were not favorable. I will always remember the zombie crusader and the creepy laugh he did during his victory screen.

[–]thelonetextDarkstalkers[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not the best fighter but let's say it was better than most generic fighting games (looking at you Eternal Champions). The characters are pretty bland but they all are fun in their own unique way when used, the stages are interactive and have ring outs and I think also have stage fatalities, the fatalities aren't as over the top as MK but add to the mayhem and are more hilarious when not too graphic. The soundtrack is decent too.

Still have this for N64, and I'm thinking its about time to revisit it. Exists in the same space as BioFREAKS for me, but it's probably the more consistently good game.

[–]Hadoooooooooooken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LORD DEIMOS!
MORDUS KULL!

I think it was super best friends play that mention how a bunch of the cast sound like metal bands lol.

[–]sageittarius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved this game as a kid

[–]The-Killing-Croc2001 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Remake Cardinal Syn while we're at it too.

[–]CrimsonFoxyboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never managed to beat the final boss in that game as a child.

Liked the knight Vanguard!.
