Some 2 bit developer shat out a piece of budget shovelware. There's the full story

Kronos president Stan Liu recounted: In April of 1995, Vic Tokai approached us and agreed to publish our first original title provided that we can have it out by Christmas that very same year. Needless to say, we were extremely excited, but we didn’t even have a single PlayStation development system as of yet! I repeatedly explained to our external producer from Vic Tokai that it was an impossible schedule, there was no possible way that we can create a game on a brand new platform in less than six-months time. We were then shown the actual contract and the check for the development. At that point, all our doubts instantly turned into desperation and greed! We needed and wanted so very badly to break into the game industry. We decided to take the chance and see if we truly had what it takes to make it happen, to be a "game developer."[1]

Suddenly Twin Goddesses doesn't look so bad.

@@KaminariHouse Both games seem like they had these cool ideas for cinematics, either Live Action or CGI and then were like, "Oh right, we still have to make a game too, huh?"

@@Kasaaz Yeah, TG even more so. The Mortal Kombat live action mixed with 90s anime characters was a very weird choice though. But besides the jank (Elf Jinny, Red Dawn's 5-hit kills, etc), it had some impressively good voice acting, character designs and music (mostly).

KZfaq CaresTM XD

Man I died when that happened. 😂

Man, imagine being that kid and trying to convince your friends to play it with you.

I have to wonder though.... what would mastery of this shit look like???

@@binturongjustice This *needs* to be seen!

Can't wait to see this at GDQ and/or the next EVO...

@@pious83 I literally looked up if this game has been speed ran, and I cannot find anything.

But he only play fighting games.

@@unclepaul1995 he doesn't.

Same here man. I'm playing Hades on the Switch right now and enjoying it. Currently doing Post-Game stuff right now and hopefully progress the Story to the true end of it I think.

@@unclepaul1995 you must be new.

@@unclepaul1995 Yeah, and Monster Hunter is one of his favorite fighting games

Demonica's pretty hot honestly.

Kazuya at least better developed)

A Game that came out 3 years before this.

Plot Twist: Demonica is Kazuya's char as a teen in Second Life (remember that? me neither)...

@@KaminariHouse So hot

They were clearly trying to sell Saturns.

You're a great friend for doing that

What a terrible friend you are man, lol.

So, is he still your friend after that?

I've never heard of this game and I'd be so pissed if I had gotten it. It looks like a shitty version of Battle Arena. lol

They need to have an international competition for this game. Imagine elite players like Justin Wong or Smug playing this with the crowd cheering them on. 😂

Is Dayton a shoto?

Wow, Max has Myazaki Mood Hair😂

it really does

It’s sooo good

I hope someone clipped all these parts for Max w/ his reaction🤣

Same. I probably still have this piece of crap game around here somewhere since the only fighting game I ever returned was _Ultimate MK Trilogy_ due to the A.I. being 100% precognitive. I should have returned this too though since _Ballz_ is legitimately a better fighting game. I wouldn't be surprised if even the infamous _Tattoo Assassins_ was better or at least had fewer issues.

@@MusicoftheDamned Why would you even hold on to a game like this???

@@CeeworldMedia Prestige.

@@Alyrael there is none lol

@@CeeworldMedia You'd be surprised, if it's rare and has a reputation, it probably has a bit.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

When you die in mk sub zero 😂

When that enemy gets up and falls off the map going PEPEEEEEEE

It not a Fighting Game, He only play Fighting Games in this Channel.

@@unclepaul1995 he's played RE4 and Bloodborne among others on here. Also I'm pretty sure it's directed in a more personal sense not so much making a video on the channel.

Matt McMuscles The God of Punishment and Torture.

@@unclepaul1995 bruh ff7 and bloodborne are the first 3 playlist that come up

In Max's head: "This is your punishment for spamming me to play Hades."

That sounds horrible

It really truly is the worst fighting game ever made. Shaq Fu, Rise of the Robots, 3D Ballz, all better than Criticom. I had this game as a kid and tried SO HARD to like it because I liked robots and sci fi. But no. It's ultimate, next-level trash.

Yikes. What a terrible decision

Hell no.

69 likes nice

@@Zyman-iv4jb NOOOO!!!

This game has a sequel?? Please tell me you're lying. Where is Google?!?

Dark Rift was a sequel!? At least it came out a lot better than this crap, which really ain't saying much.

What? Theirs no Way dark rift is a sequel to this piece of shit

@@mediaultra3178 It was originally known as Criticom II before getting renamed. It was also originally supposed to come out for the Saturn.

The game play was sluggish but the story was interesting. Another cool aspect of the game waa unlockable character transformations.

But mk11 is actually good.

@@galio7741 Seek help.

@@galio7741 mk11 is pretty but it just doesn’t feel fun to play

@@roguedragoon9212 . Opinions, that said, I don't like it, but that doesn't mean others cannot have fun with it.

@@SeventhheavenDK I gotta say, just because people like something, doesn't make that something good, and vice versa.

That's cuz the devs only had 6 months to make this.

I Am Planning On Playing This On Sega Saturn I'm Afraid 😰 lol.

@@gokusondbz be very afraid . also i watch your channel

This game is a yikes

This game…

He hasn't? That's nuts

What was he THINKING

Because he ain't heard of it?

Angry video nerd game?

Because too much Anger is bad for your heart.

I just looked this game up, it's made by the same developers.

@@OBDJYT And Cardinal Syn is way way better then this piece of crap.

@@derrickhaggard I agree and with much better OST.

@@derrickhaggard Both Cardinal Syn and Dark Rift on the N64 were basically spin-off/sequels to this game by the same dev and both games are eons better than this.

@@VulpeRenard Exactly Kronos definitely earned redemption in the fighting game genre with both Cardinal Syn, and Dark Rift.

Dad: I bought Street Fighter.

Is it too late to file child abuse report?

If your friends and classmates have never heard of the game, it’s not good.

@@therainmakerinsider I mean growing up most my friends and classmates weren't familiar with Metal Gear and those games are badass.

Is that when this game was released? I didn't get my PS1 until 1997 so that explains why I've never heard of it. The first game I got was Battle Arena though and I actually loved it so maybe I wouldn't have been able to tell the difference? lol

This was my sega saturn game

Is the sequel as bad as this game? Lol this legit might be the worst game I’ve ever seen. I’d rather play Superman 64 and fly through rings all day than play this

@@jeremyroberts8822 people say Dark Rift is much better than Criticom

Even Doom is Afraid!

Though the Scrubs have disbanded, the barrel wanders ever onward in search of new masters to scrape at its depths.

Well it not Reboot guardian code.

I love when fighting games break the norm on that kinda thing. My favorites have been the BlazBlue series and an old JoJo fighting game i can't recall the name of currently

there is a full Fighting History episode for this game on the channel

Thrill Kill is actually good tho....

@@InfiniteGamesDenderotto he should revisit the game tho since he’s doing ps1 fighting games

He should try VS.

Thrill Kill was never released. He should play that Wu Tang game that was built on the same engine.

Tons of sci-fi ps1 games had a quiet unnerving and cold atmosphere and I think it was just a weird trend going around Fighting Force 2 is a good example.

I'm just confused that all this exposition/backstory was for an RPG, NOT a fighting game.
