Play Brutal - Paws of Fury (Europe) Online

Brutal: Paws of Fury came out for the Sega Genesis in 1994, developed by Eurocom Entertainment Software. It was part of that wave of fighting games that tried to stand out with a cast of animal characters instead of the usual martial artists. The game didn't break much new ground, but it had a certain charm with its lineup of brawling beasts.

You pick one of several animal fighters, like a tiger or a kangaroo, and battle through a series of one-on-one matches. The goal is to defeat each opponent and become the champion. The combat relies on basic punches, kicks, and special moves executed with awkward button combinations. Matches are fast and often feel stiff; the difficulty can spike unexpectedly, especially against later opponents. Playing it feels like wrestling with the controller as much as with your rival on screen.
