You can move forwards and backwards, perform quick, medium, and fierce punches and kicks, jump, crouch, block, perform combo breakers, and now you can throw opponents. Killer Instinct Gold is a fighting game that revolves around combos. If you’ve played the first game, the gameplay will be very familiar. I was disappointed because my favorite characters in that game were Riptor, Cinder, and Sabrewulf. There are several new characters and several return from the previous game but three of them didn’t make the cut – Chief Thunder, Riptor, and Cinder. Characters fight to face and defeat Gargos because he’s evil. Eyedol’s death results in a time warp where some characters are transported back time and the demon lord Gargos escapes from limbo. The story continues where the first game left off. It was one of the games included in the Rare Replay collection for Xbox One and that’s the version I played for this review. It was developed by Rare and published by Midway Games and an updated version called Killer Instinct Gold was released for the Nintendo 64 in November, 1996. Much like its predecessor, the combo system is the real highlight of the game but some changes were made to make it a little more accessible. It was followed up by Killer Instinct 2, an arcade game released in 1996.
