Two additional fighters were made for the last versions (while making the two boss characters playable from the start). Most versions of the game include eight playable fighters and two unlockable bosses, while some earlier consoles exclude two characters.

CharactersĮach fighter in the game is a different anthropomorphic animal and represents a different martial arts style (real or fictional). It was also ported in 1995 by GameTek to the Amiga (only in Europe), Amiga CD32 (only in Europe), PC (only in North America, known as Brutal: Above the Claw in-artwork), and Sega 32X (only in North America, known as Brutal: Above the Claw in-artwork and Brutal Unleashed: Above the Claw in-game). The SNES version was released in North America by Cybersoft, Europe by GameTek, and Japan (as Animal Takeranden: BRUTAL) by Kemco. It was ported to the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in December 1994 by Eurocom. The characters in Brutal each have certain traits that they embody, like all heroes. The game is unique for its password system, where special moves must be earned by winning matches and each fighter's repertoire can be stored as passwords. Brutal: Paws of Fury - Brutal is a game of cartoon Martial Arts. The game follows various anthropomorphic animals as martial arts fighters of various disciplines as they compete in a tournament in the secluded Brutal Island by the mysterious Dali Llama. On the other hand, the Amiga version, thanks to better compression, features two additional characters.Brutal: Paws of Fury is a 2D fighting game developed and published by GameTek for the Sega Genesis and Sega CD in October 1994. The Amiga version is a faithful conversion of the Mega Drive one, excluding the controls, that use 3 buttons in the SEGA version, something not possible on the Amiga version where the joystick has one button only. Hopefully, the religious leader didn't get offended by the reference. Funnily, the final boss to defeat is Dali Llama - a llama, of course. Not to mention Kung-Fu Bunny, which makes you wonder if Pixar didn't take inspiration from this game when they created Kung Fu Panda in 2008.


Much like a Disney movie, you will have heroes such as Ivan the Bear, Tai Cheetah, Prince Leon of Kenya, Rhei Rat, and others. Unlike Mortal Kombat with its hyper-realistic graphics, or Street Fighter II, which had human combatants (though with fantasy powers), Paws of Fury features a cast of animal fighters. The game was also ported and released for the Amiga, SNES, and MS-DOS. Brutal: Paws of Fury is a competitive beat-em-up created by GameTek for SEGA CD and Mega Drive/Genesis in 1994.
