War Gods is a 3D fighting game developed by Midway and ported to the Nintendo 64 by Eurocom. Ten immortal warriors, empowered by a mysterious ore fallen from space, battle to become the most powerful being on Earth. Heavily influenced by Mortal Kombat, it features digitized characters, gory fatalities, and a “3D” button for sidestepping into the background or foreground.
