Battle Royale is a professional wrestling video game developed by IGS and published by Hudson Soft for the TurboGrafx-16 home console. It was released in North America in 1990. The game allows up to five players to compete simultaneously, a feature that was relatively rare for home console games at the time.
Gameplay
[edit]Battle Royale features gameplay similar to professional wrestling matches, with players controlling wrestlers and competing to defeat their opponents. The game supports up to five players simultaneously, using the TurboGrafx-16's multitap accessory, allowing for chaotic, free-for-all action. Players can choose from various fictional wrestlers, each with unique moves and fighting styles.
Matches take place in a wrestling ring, and players can win by pinfall, submission, or by eliminating their opponents by throwing them out of the ring. The game features both single-player and multiplayer modes, with the latter being the primary attraction due to the high player count.
Reception
[edit]Battle Royale received mixed reviews upon release. The multiplayer aspect was praised for its novelty and the fun it provided during group play[1], but the graphics and gameplay were often seen as basic and repetitive. Despite this, the game has garnered a following among retro gaming enthusiasts, particularly for its unique place in the TurboGrafx-16 library.
Legacy
[edit]While Battle Royale did not receive sequels or major recognition in the broader video game market, it remains a notable title for fans of the TurboGrafx-16. Its multiplayer capabilities and focus on chaotic wrestling matches make it a standout title in the console's catalog, appealing to those who enjoy retro multiplayer games.
