Battle Monsters on the Sega Saturn isn't your typical fighting game, more like if Mortal Kombat and Pokémon had a baby and then raised it on a diet of slapstick comedy and whimsical fantasy. While other fighting games like Street Fighter or Tekken focus on human-like characters throwing fists and feet with precise, calculated moves, Battle Monsters throws you into a world where your fighters might spend as much time tripping over their own tails as they do dodging attacks.
Street Fighter has Ryu and Chun-Li executing Hadoukens and lightning kicks with intense focus; Battle Monsters has your creatures attempting to cast spells only to accidentally turn themselves into flowers.
Tekken offers a deep roster of fighters with complex move sets and combos; Battle Monsters gives you a lineup where your strategy might involve convincing your fire-breathing duck to not nap during the fight.
Virtua Fighter prides itself on realistic physics and animations; Battle Monsters throws realism out the window, opting for physics that seem to be powered by cartoon magic.
Mortal Kombat is all about gore and finishing moves with dramatic flair; Battle Monsters might end with your monster accidentally finessing its opponent into a pie-eating contest instead of a fatality.
In essence, while most fighting games are about mastering combos and perfecting your technique, Battle Monsters on the Sega Saturn turns the genre on its head by focusing on the absurdity of its creatures, the comical nature of battles, and the unexpected outcomes where strategy often involves managing your monsters' quirks as much as outsmarting your opponent. It's less about fighting to the death and more about surviving the chaos with a laugh.
