“Back in the ’90s for every fighting game that managed to pull in enough of a fan-base to survive through the generations, there were five or more that did not. In fact, even spin-offs of popular franchises still failed to take off at the time but this time allowed developers to experiment with strange and unique ideas. This led to game’s from popular publishers like Capcom’s Darkstalkers being fondly remembered but sadly abandoned and even some real strange creations such as ClayFighter from Interplay.
With a focus on absurdity and unique styling, ClayFighter never had a chance in the long run but that doesn’t mean it should be the end of experimentation. Now, Mexican development team Oribe Ware Games is looking to make their own mark with a Mostroscopy, a fighting game that looks to mimic the horror and Luchador films from the ’50s in a simple but stylish package. Is this unique presentation enough to pull off a victory or will Mostroscopy be shamefully unmasked?”
