Killer Instinct Gold is an action fighting game based on the arcade game Killer Instinct 2. The game was developed by Rare and released exclusively for Nintendo 64 with diverse gameplay and many attractive features for players. Killer Instinct Gold is famous for its combos, character movement, environment, and graphics, as well as giving players a lot of entertainment and fun through each battle. The game allows up to two players at a time and can be fought against AI or 1v1 through custom games.
Killer Instinct Gold does not have a storyline, and it is just an extension of the original arcade game. However, after appearing on Nintendo 64, it became famous for the variety of characters, features, and other things in the battle modes in the game. Players will choose one of the available characters, and from there, fight AI or other players to win. If the player fights with AI, it is necessary to complete a series of matches with many different characters and, at the same time, unlock new characters by defeating the opponent. If the player fights in a custom match with a friend, all characters will be unlocked for everyone to enjoy.
The game has a simple and flexible control mechanism, and players will control the character through a 2D style and 3D environment. Most fighting games are developed in the 2D fighting style, and their graphics and surroundings are 3D to bring a variety of different combat experiences. Each character will have a unique fighting style and gradually build their variety of different combos for players to develop. Combined attacks, when executed, will make the opponent immobile, but the opponent can still break the combo to counterattack. The fighting mechanism in the game takes place in real-time, so the player must always focus and set up the appropriate combo to win. At the end of the match, the winning side will have the right to finish the opponent with a special combo, and that always gives everyone a different meaning and feeling when the finishing action is launched.
The variety of characters will give players more choices in character selection, and people will also have more opportunities to explore each story of each character. Although the game has no storyline, it’s gameplay and features are what makes it popular.
