Story Breakdown: Bloody Roar & Beastorizer (PlayStation & Arcade)

One of the best parts of a video game is the ending, but who has the time to go back and play through every game? Let me introduce you to Game Over: The Early Years, the weekly show where we dive into classic games and spoil both their stories and endings. From the biggest hits to obscure classics, we're taking a look at some of the best and most memorable conclusions in video game history.

The early days of 3D fighters were full of kung fu throwdowns and epic sword fights. But where were you going to go if you wanted something a bit more horror-themed. Sure, you could try to get into War Gods, I suppose, but most fight fans opted instead to transform into monstrous animals in a game called Bloody Roar. While not as violent as Mortal Kombat or stylish as DarkStalkers, this Hundson Soft fighter managed to impress critics and consumers alike, spawning four sequels, a manga and even a cameo in an Eiffel 65 song. Turn back now if you don't want to know what happens next, because today we're going to spoil the stories and endings in the original Bloody Roar on PlayStation. This is Game Over: The Early Years!
