For those who remember, Bloody Roar 4 (known as Bloody Roar: Primal Fury in some regions) has a notoriously grindy unlock system. Want to play as the fan-favorite (the Mole) or the monstrous Reiji (the Lion)? You’re looking at hours of arcade runs.

If you’re reading this, you’ve probably just dusted off your old PlayStation 2, popped in Bloody Roar 4 , and realized something painful: You have zero characters unlocked.

(Note: Cheat codes vary by emulator version; use a modern cheat database like GameHacking.org) Bloody Roar 4 deserves a revival. It’s the last true 3D fighter from Hudson Soft, and its beast-transformation mechanic is still unique today. Don’t let a grindy unlock system stop you from experiencing Bakuryu’s drill attack or Xion’s insanity .

Get the save file, unlock the beast, and enjoy the roar.
