ABOUT


DEFENDERS OF THE LEGACY is a Bloody Roar fanzine celebrating the fighting game series about zoanthropic street brawlers. Through this mixed media project, we hope to show appreciation for all aspects of the series that kept us coming back since its creation over twenty years ago.As Bloody Roar nears its 30th birthday, we want to reflect on what its legacy is, what about it we want to preserve, defend, and share into the future, and prove that it’s possible to keep the passion for this series alive in our own ways.This zine will include illustrations, writing, and merchandise focused on the characters and story. If we get enough interest we might also be able to include alternative media like comics, cosplay, and maybe even music! Our plan is for a digital-only release distributed for free to anyone who wishes to view it and share in this special series. What we’d really like is to make the PDF printer friendly so you can make your own personal physical copies at home.Due to Bloody Roar’s nature as a fighting game about beasts with teeth and claws, this zine will include depictions of violence and touch on mature themes like discrimination and human experimentation as portrayed in canon.All material in this project will be rated as appropriate for the series itself:
ESRB T / PEGI 12 / CERO C / PG-16
You can find more info in our guidelines and Q & A sections!
