Unlike the other games, however, the beast gauge acts as its own separate health meter.
Like the previous games in the series, characters can transform into beasts during battle, using the beast gauge, slightly increasing their power. It is the second game in the series to appear on the PlayStation 2 and the only game in the series to have received an M rating by ESRB due to the blood effects. Bloody Roar 4 is a fighting game developed by Eighting and Hudson Soft in 2003.
