Lesser known NEOGEO fighting game SAVAGE REIGN hits consoles

SAVAGE REIGN is a fighting game released by SNK in 1995. In the first half of the 21st century, 10 great fighters have gathered to compete in King Lion’s Battle of the Beast-God.

Howling fists and flying weapons. A completely new style of fighting game. Utilize the innovative 2 Line System to achieve victory in this vicious fight.

Look, let’s be clear that this is a clone of Fatal Fury. SNK knew what worked and essentially ripped themselves off a bunch of times trying to recreate magic.

SAVAGE REIGN didn’t make as big of a splash as other SNK fighting games but it did feature a fighting clown that moved around using roller blades, so there’s that.

ACA NEOGEO SAVAGE REIGN is available digitally for ACA NEOGEO, the downloadable series by HAMSTER for Nintendo Switch, PS4 and Xbox One.
