Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Bloody Roar different from other fighting games? Bloody Roar's defining feature is the beast transformation mechanic that allows characters to morph into powerful animal hybrids during combat, changing their move sets and dramatically altering gameplay dynamics in the middle of fights.

How do I build up my beast gauge faster? You can build your beast gauge more quickly by successfully landing combos, taking damage from opponents, or using specific character traits. Some characters naturally build beast energy faster than others, so experimenting with different fighters can help.

Can I stay in beast form indefinitely? No, the beast form has a time limit and depletes your beast gauge over time. Additionally, taking significant damage while transformed can knock you back into human form prematurely. Managing your transformation duration is crucial to winning matches.
