Killing Zone

GAME » on March 29, 1996

Several common monster archetypes duke it out in the KILLING ZONE.

Overview

Killing Zone is a 3D fantasy-horror fighting game developed and published by Naxat Soft (Company) for the Sony PlayStation in Japan on March 29, 1996. It was later released by Acclaim in North America (on July 1996) and Europe (on September 1996). Along with the traditional arcade mode (where players pick a generic fantasy monster and defeat all other monsters), the game includes an "Auto Mode", where players instead pick an AI-controlled monster and coach them through tournaments (influencing their tactics mid-match and upgrading their abilities between battles). It's considered the spiritual successor to the 2D Sega Saturn fighting game Battle Monsters (Game), which was also released by Naxat Soft and Acclaim. Although this game was released a year after Battle Monsters in Japan, it was released in a similar timeframe elsewhere.

Characters

The game includes seven playable characters, each representing a generic fantasy monster archetype. The appearance (in all modes) and name (in Normal Mode only) is determined by which side (P1 or P2) the player is playing. In Auto Mode, players choose the name of their character.

Were Wolf (P1: Gush / P2: Toma)
Skeleton Warrior (P1: Kal / P2: Hal)
Minotaur (P1: Batch / P2: Tairos)
Dark Faerie (P1: Sherry / P2: Felir)
Mummy (Concept) (P1: Rem / P2: Majete)
Gorgon (P1: Rerner / P2: Karla)
Giant (P1: Drake / P2: Vilken)

There's also some final boss in Auto Mode that can be played with a cheat code. Since there's no information on the 'net on what this boss is, can someone with the game help update this?
