Description
From various time periods of past, present and future, nine fighters killed in an unjust manner find themselves given a second chance for life. An alien being, known only as the Eternal Champion brings back the fighters into a competition for one reason: to find one among them worthy of being resurrected, giving them a chance to avert their death and tip the balance between good and evil.
The fighters range from different eras of Earth's History: Larcen, the cat burglar. Jetta, the circus acrobat. Blade, the futuristic bounty hunter. Midknight, the vampiric bio-chemist. Rax, the cyborg. Shadow, the corporate assassin. Slash, the neanderthal. Trident, a Atlantean warrior. And Xavier, a warlock and alchemist.
The game is a 2D one on one fighting title, a genre highly popular throughout the 1990's. Each character supports a large number of special moves and individual fighting styles, and at the end of a match, players have the option to unleash an "Overkill" on a defeated opponent, which brutally kills the loser in a graphic manner, or use the background itself for a stage kill.
Eternal Champions was considered by many critics to be one of the best fighting games for the Sega Genesis, and spawned a Sega CD upgrade.
