Published : 1997
Genre : Fighting
Ryona rating : 3/5


Ryona:

• Five selectable female fighters out of a roster of thirteen, of which five have to be unlocked.
• Diverse roster, including humans, demons, apes, a zombie-looking guy with two daggers, plant-creatures and insect-creatures.
• Good abundance of moves per character. Some of them send the opponent flying either towards the other end of the screen or onto the ceiling!
• Each character has a Super bar. When it's full they can either execute a couple of extra moves, including Super Moves.
• Several grabs per character, with some having crouched, back, and even ground grabs and even counters. One of the ground grabs has a big African Shaman planting and grinding his foot into his opponent's nether area!
• Downed opponents can be hit repeatedly, either with a punch/kick or a jumping hit.
• Replay feature allows the player to see the final move executed in three different angles.

Female Characters:

• Nanase is an athletic young woman with an equally athletic costume. She has a shoryuken move of her own and her legs pack a lot of power.
• Verny is an eccentric blonde clad in a red outfit and red boots. What she lacks in speed she makes up in raw strength.
• Sasa is a plant-woman who either has red or light blue skin. She can counter her opponent's high kicks, while her dropping knee attack towards a grounded opponent is very painful.
• Unknown is the Goddess of Good in this game, and final boss for the Evil characters. She mainly borrows moves from the rest of the Good characters.
• Kurara is the magical girl from the Power Instict fighting game series. She is innocent and childish and wields magic through her handy wand.

Screenshots:

Note : The second set of screenshots is an example of the three camera angles that show the final hit in replay.
