Movement & Positioning: Use your arrow keys (or WASD keys) to move your character around the arena, jump, and crouch.
Basic Attacks: Use the Z key for light/punch attacks and the X key for heavy/kick attacks - these form your primary offensive toolkit.
Special Moves: Perform character-specific special moves by combining directional inputs with attack buttons. For example: down, forward + punch (Z) for fire breath or projectiles.
Combos & Throws: Chain together multiple attacks by timing your button presses correctly, and get close to opponents to perform grapple moves.
Super Attacks: Build up your rage meter by dealing and taking damage, then unleash powerful super moves when the meter is full.
Defensive Maneuvers: Hold back to block incoming attacks, or tap down to crouch under high attacks.
Victory Conditions: Deplete your opponent's health bar completely before they defeat you to win each round - best 2 out of 3 rounds wins the match.
What makes Primal Rage different from other fighting games? Unlike many fighting games featuring human martial artists, Primal Rage stands out with its unique roster of giant dinosaur and primal beasts, a distinctive post-apocalyptic setting, and particularly violent combat animations that were quite groundbreaking for its time.
How do I perform special moves more consistently? The key is precise timing and clean directional inputs. Make sure you complete the full motion (like quarter-circle forward or down-down) before pressing the attack button. Practice in training mode to master the timing for each character's unique special moves.
Can I play with two players on the same keyboard? Yes! Primal Rage supports two-player versus mode. Player 1 typically uses arrow keys for movement with Z/X for attacks, while Player 2 can use alternative keys for movement and attacks - though you may need to configure controls or avoid key conflicts for optimal gameplay.
