Criticom - Critical Combat [Psx] - Intro
0Criticom is a one-on-one fighting game where 8 diverse fighters from across the galaxy vie for a crystal artifact. The game features a sci-fi backstory that involves mystery and intrigue surrounding the crystal and each of the 8 fighters is given a unique storyline to explain why he or she is so interested in the artifact. Among the colorful characters are a giant lizard man named Gorm, a ninja lady named Yenji, a killing robot named S.I.D., and a mysterious vampire-like creature named Demonica who places little value on clothing.
The fighting action takes place on a round, elevated platform. Each fighter begins the fight with a full power meter and one power meter refill in reserve that is activated when the primary meter is depleted. Thus, there are no rounds. The fight runs until one fighter is knocked out (no more power in their meter), one is knocked out of the arena (or steps/jumps out), or the time runs out.
Criticom presents a choice of 8 fighters, each with different abilities, strengths and weaknesses.
Fairly standard fare so far, but Criticom has hidden depths to master. When the player defeats the last opponent of the first round, armour is upgraded and new hidden moves come into play.
This introduces whole new strategies into the gameplay, and an interesting element of exploration and discovery. By the time the combatants reach grade 3, they are unstoppable killing machines. Battles take place on a Toshinden-style arena - your opponents can be knocked over the edge, which is a great ploy for close battles.
STORY:
"The Nezom and Zerai clans annointed themselves as the "Chosen Ones" -- a self-proclamation spurred by the acquisition of an ancient relic which bestowed great powers upon its possesors, but not the wisdom to wield that power. Led by their emperor, the Chosen Ones purged all resistance, annihilating entire races. The planet Hyperia fell into the War Era.
In the end, the Chosen Ones achieved compliance, if not obedience. The years of ruthless supremacy took its toll on the Emperor. In his old age, the dying Emperor passed on the relic to its new heirs. A new age of peace and prosperity is about to begin...
... or so it seemed..."
