Killer Instinct

Killer Instinct is a 2D fighting game where players select one of ten combatants to battle against an opponent. The roster includes figures such as Orchid, Jago, and Fulgore, some of whom are experimental warriors created by the Ultratech corporation. This entity runs the tournament from a futuristic setting, using its technology to introduce extra-dimensional threats like the ancient two-headed Eyedol to increase the competition's difficulty.

Participants have various motivations, ranging from seeking personal glory to actively opposing Ultratech's corrupt practices. The gameplay is distinguished by a system focused on lengthy, multi-hit combinations, with the most extensive sequence known as an Ultra Combo. Defensive options include combo breakers, while matches can conclude with special finishing moves or stage fatalities. Each fighter utilizes a double energy bar, and the action is accompanied by a techno soundtrack.
