Bloody Roar II
Bloody Roar II is one of those sequels that actually steps up its game in almost every way. The first one was cool, but this? It’s faster, smoother, and just way more fun to play. The core idea’s still the same, fighters who can turn into beasts mid-battle, but everything’s been dialed up. The roster’s bigger, the moves feel more fluid, and the transformations? Way more impactful. It’s not just a visual gimmick anymore; shifting into beast mode changes how you fight, giving you new combos and specials that can turn the tide in seconds.

Visually, it’s a solid upgrade from the first game. The characters are more detailed, the animations are smoother, and the stages have way more personality. Some of the arenas even have interactive elements, like breakable walls or hazards, which keeps matches from feeling too static. The beast forms look sick too, each one’s unique, and the way they move sells the idea that these aren’t just humans with claws; they’re full-on monsters. The soundtrack’s also a banger, with high-energy tracks that fit the chaos of the fights perfectly.
Gameplay-wise, it’s spectacular. The controls are tight, and combos flow naturally once you get the hang of it. There’s a nice balance between accessibility and depth, casual players can mash buttons and still have fun, but if you take the time to learn the mechanics, there’s a lot to master. The beast gauge adds a cool layer of strategy; do you save it for a big finisher, or pop it early to pressure your opponent? The only downside is that some characters feel way stronger than others, so balance isn’t perfect, but it’s not game breaking.
The story’s… there, I guess. It’s your typical fighting game fare, each character has their own reason for being in this tournament, but don’t expect anything deep. The endings are short and mostly just for fun, which is fine because the real draw is the fighting. The arcade mode’s solid, and there’s a survival mode if you want to test your skills, but don’t expect a ton of single-player content.

Now, you have options. The original voices have that late '90s/early 2000s charm, cheesy at times, but full of personality. If you’re a purist or just love that era’s vibe, this is the way to go. The undub is great if you prefer authenticity or just think the original performances hit harder. Some of the beast growls and battle cries sound way more intense in Japanese.

The redub is interesting because it’s a mix of seasoned VAs and newer talent. Kayli Mills (Alice) and Kira Buckland (Uriko) are everywhere in anime dubs these days, and they always bring energy. Xander Mobus (Shenlong) is perfect for cocky, over-the-top characters, and Kaiji Tang (Long) nails that gruff, serious tone. Eddie Correa Jr. as Stun is a deep cut, he doesn’t do a ton of big roles, but his voice fits a creepy insect dude surprisingly well.
