Survival Arts (World)

Survival Arts (World) is a two-player fighting game released in 1993 by Sammy. Players select from eight distinct characters and engage in one-on-one combat using an eight-way joystick and six buttons to execute attacks and special moves. The gameplay incorporates bonus rounds interspersed between matches, adding variety to the overall experience. The game’s visuals feature digitized character sprites, presented with a recognizable aesthetic. Each fighter possesses unique abilities and costumes, which contribute to a diverse cast of characters. While drawing inspiration from popular fighting games of the era, Survival Arts presents its own visual style. A peculiar detail awaits players who defeat Dantel: the ending sequence displays two images resembling Hitler’s profile, adding an unusual element to the game's conclusion. A version released in the United States includes a "Winners Don't Use Drugs" informational screen prior to gameplay.
