About this game

Beast Wrestler is a one-on-one fighting game presented from an isometric perspective. Players control beasts or dragons with punch and tail attacks, plus a special move available when its corresponding icon appears.

Close-range combat includes throwing and choking attacks performed by rapidly pressing the A or C button. Instead of a visible health bar, each fighter is represented by three icons; when a dragon remains knocked down for too long, one icon turns red, and losing all three ends the fight.

The arena is enclosed by an electric fence that can damage opponents when they are thrown into it and can also be used to initiate jump attacks. The game was developed by Riot and published by Renovation products for Sega Genesis and Sega Mega Drive/Genesis.
