Brutal - Paws of fury

This little fury karate game, was made by Gametek in 1995 for the commodore amiga.

There are 10 completely original characters, and contrary in this beat´em up karate game.
They range form the quasi-ferocious sounding karate Croc to the prospective punchbag that is kung fu Benny. All of them lean towards the cartoon like in appearance. But the first thing of note is the speed at which they move. After choosing your fighters and waiting for the bell to sound against whichever of the backgrounds you´re battling across. You manipulate the joystick left or right and your animal fairly hammers towards its adversary.

They are in fact almost too fast, but not quite. At the beginning each character has a complement of six basic moves, with which to do battle, and since at this stage, thanks to the impressive speed, a simple punch or kick is all you can hope to carry out whit any degree of intention, that´s enough. As the game progresses and you win more bouts. The generous old Dali Llama awards you with special moves. Which, if you manage to perfect them in a set time, are added to your repertoire, fuelling that warrior spirit.

Around half a dozen special moves per character can be earned throughout the game. They are all sufficiently different to make finding and using them,
interesting and fun, ad they range from the sublime, such as the Dali´s apocalypse, to the more ridiculous eg Rhai Rat´s face pull.
