Mayhem mode has you picking a side to fight for and a team size, and you must battle your way through each of your opponents team. But things are bit deeper than that: each character is stronger or weaker to another, so there’s this sort of rock-paper-scissors element thrown in that keeps things very interesting. A match is won once your foes HP is depleted. Pressing a button will take the shown amount of energy to pull off the move. Each character has three different attacks to utilize, governed by the constantly refilling energy bar shown at the top of the screen. The Unholy War is a 1-on-1 fighter that plays out in a small arena, complete with teleporters, hazards like lava and poisonous gas, and walls and cover to hide behind.
We’re not here to learn about the story, we’re here to beat the everloving shit out of each other.
There was also something about a forbidden child being born that is a cross between an Arcane and a Teknos or something, but it doesn’t really matter. The two factions are fighting over Aur, the energy essence of the planet. Killcycle is a human-bomber jet hybrid, Razorfane is a humanoid machine with saw blades for hands, and Mantis is a robot insect that resembles, what else, a mantis. The other faction are the Teknos, which are an alliance of mechanical products and machines. Fire Witch is constantly immolated, the Prana Devil is a reptilian creature with a huge mouth and arms, and the Brontu is a rhinoceros like creature that gore foes. The Arcanes are an organic alliance of creatures that have an elemental look and feel to them. So the story of this one is something like this: There are two factions going at it over control of this planet. The Unholy War has some interesting things going for it that make the game not like any other brawler, and you know what… it’s pretty damn fun. Enter The Unholy War, a 3D fighting game for the PS1 from Toys For Bob, the same development team that made the out-of-left-field success that is Skylanders. One of the best things about collecting video games is that you’re never short of an interesting title to play when you’re bored.
