Instead of relying on extensive combinations of button or key presses, Lugaru takes its own path by making use of only three context-sensitive action buttons, the effect of which varies based on the situation and Tuner's current position or status.
Lugaru sets out to solve this problem by looking at the genre in a different way. This is largely due to the differences in control schemes, with the mouse-keyboard combination offering a greater opportunity for precision but also diminishing the visceral thrill of button mashing that made fighting games on consoles so attractive. While fighting games have had a long history on video game consoles and arcades (it was after all games like Street Fighter (1987) and the aforementioned Mortal Kombat that helped popularize these devices and helped Sega rise to prominence despite strong competition and market domination from Nintendo due to the former's more liberal restrictions on violent and controversial content), they have only ever had a limited appeal on desktop computers. Yes, you did read that right, and it is the opener to one of the best fighting games available for the Personal Computer. In an apparent cross between Mortal Kombat (1992) and the film Watership Down (1978), you take the role of Turner, an anthropomorphic “crazy fighter bunny” who must avenge the death of his also strangely humanoid family and reveal a wide ranging conspiracy that threatens to undermine and destroy the entire Rabbit Republic. Lugaru certainly is a different beast, most notably for its choice of beasts with which you will do battle with, control and converse with throughout the game. But when you first discover that it quite proudly describes itself as a “Kung-Fu Rabbit Adventure Video Game”, you will start to wonder if you might have been a bit too quick in deciding that notion. So you may be forgiven for thinking that most of the avenues open for violent feats of fantasy had already been explored many times before Lugaru: The Rabbit's Foot came along. A wide variety of titles have sprung up with the specific purpose of showcasing increasingly inventive levels of gore and destruction. Violence has, even in its most diluted and minute forms, been a strong staple in almost every game made within the past thirty years. There is nothing new to the idea of fighting games.
