Bloody Roar

Bloody Roar is a 1997 fighting game originally released in arcades and later ported to the PlayStation. Developed by Raizing and published by Hudson Soft, it features a transformation mechanic that lets players shapeshift into powerful animal forms for enhanced strength, speed, and unique moves. The game's narrative is set within a framework involving the Gaia hypothesis and genetic intervention, where humanity's impact on the environment prompts the emergence of "zoanthropes", individuals capable of shifting into powerful beast forms. The Tyron Corporation exploits this genetic potential to develop biological weapons through experimentation and control.
