About this game

Criticom is a one-on-one fighting game in which eight diverse fighters from across the galaxy compete for a mysterious crystal artifact. Each character has a unique storyline explaining their interest in the crystal, including Gorm, a giant lizard man; Yenji, a ninja; S.I.D., a killing robot; and Demonica, a mysterious vampire-like creature.

Fights take place on a round, elevated platform. Every fighter starts with a full power meter and one reserve refill, so battles do not use traditional rounds. A match ends when a fighter loses all power, is knocked or steps out of the arena, or time runs out.
