The game uses a 2D side-view fighting format where players select one of several giant beasts and battle in one-on-one matches. Each fighter has standard attacks, jumps, throws, special moves, and finishing techniques triggered by directional and button inputs. In single-player mode, players defeat a sequence of opponents to advance, while versus play emphasizes matchup knowledge, spacing, anti-air timing, and mastery of each character’s move set.

Blizzard

An ape-like beast who uses ice powers to freeze and control opponents.

Chaos

A fast and agile ape fighter focused on pressure and quick attacks.

Diablo

A fire-breathing tyrant lizard with powerful offensive moves.

Sauron

A balanced dinosaur combatant with solid all-around tools.

Talon

A swift raptor-like fighter built around mobility and aerial attacks.

Vertigo

A serpentine goddess-beast with unusual special abilities and tricky offense.

Armadon

A heavily armored beast with strong defense and close-range power.

Beginners should start with balanced characters like Sauron or Diablo to learn spacing and special inputs. Do not rely only on heavy attacks; mix in throws, crouching attacks, and jump-ins to break defense. Against mobile opponents, hold mid-range and punish jumps or sudden advances. Learning your main character’s reliable special moves and ender conditions is more effective than constantly attacking without a plan.

Tips

Practice one character’s normal attack ranges before focusing on special moves.

Tips

Finishers often require specific spacing and match-ending conditions, so rehearse them deliberately.

Tips

Large characters can be easier to zone, making positioning and jump timing especially important.
