Animal Buranden ㅡ Brutal (Intro)
2Bout presents: Animal Buranden ㅡ Brutal (Intro)
Animal Buranden: Brutal (Brutal: Paws of Fury) is a 2D fighting game published by GameTek in 1994. The game features a cast of various anthropomorphic animals as selectable fighters. It also features the ability to learn new attacks and save them via passwords. Originally a Sega CD exclusive, it was later ported to other game consoles.
Animal Buranden: Brutal was published in 1994 by GameTek and Cybersoft in the US and Europe, and Kemco in Japan. The game was released for the Sega CD, Amiga, CD32, Genesis, and Super Nintendo Entertainment System. An updated version, Brutal Unleashed: Above the Claw (also titled Brutal: Above the Claw), was released for the Sega 32X and MS-DOS compatible computers in 1995 with two new playable characters, new arenas, a remixed intro, and new music. The general content and gameplay mechanics remained constant throughout all incarnations. Reviews for the game were mixed, with praise for the graphics, soundtrack, and gameplay innovations, but criticism for the sluggish play and controls.
Every four years on the uncharted Brutal Island, the world's toughest martial artists are invited to compete in the most grueling tournament, aptly referred to as the Brutal Island Tournament. Only the winner of this tournament gains the privilege to challenge Dali Llama, the greatest fighter in the world, for the coveted Belt of Heaven championship.
Across the world, invitations were delivered. Brutal, Paws of Fury is a brilliantly rendered game of humorous cartoon style combat, combined with depth, philosophy, and an attention to detail not found in any other fighting game. Go ahead and Unleash the animal, it's time to get Brutal.
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. 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.

Electronic Gaming Monthly praised the music and the cinemas as stunning and among the best seen on the Sega CD, and also approved of the mechanic of learning special moves. However, they criticized the gameplay action as sluggish and unresponsive. GamePro commented that the game "tries a few new things", but shared EGM's stance that the Sega CD version plays too slow, and also criticized that the way the backgrounds often block the view of the action, while intentional, is unduly frustrating.
Next Generation reviewed the PC version of the game, and stated that "Brutal is a solid fighting game that should please any fan of the genre. If you don't need to see blood and gore to be entertained, check it out".
The One gave the Amiga version of Brutal an overall score of 69%, stating it "looks stunning but unfortunately it is all let down by the severe lack of gameplay. The fighting isn't as fluid as, and instead of blending quick reactions with simple joystick combinations it all ends up with you frantically waggling the stick without much thought or skill involved at all... Brutal is superbly presented but leaves you with the feeling that something is lacking... a match can be won simply by repeating the same moves over and over again".
