Alnam no Kiba: Juuzoku Juunishinto Densetsu [ アルナムの牙 獣族十二神徒伝説] , or Fang of Alnam for short, is a strange top-down RPG from Right Stuff, a company who is known for linking animals and various aspects of nature into many/all of their games. They are responsible for such games such as Battle Tycoon (Flash Hiders SFX) and Blue Forest Story. I kinda liked Battle Tycoon for the SNES/SFC, but I hadn't really played any of RS' other games. However, I was intrigued enough to purchase a few other RS games.

This game doesn't look like anything remarkable, but I will say this; for the hour or so I spent sampling this game for video purposes, I'd say about half of it was anime cutscenes. That can be a good or bad thing...in this case, it's good. The voice overs are good and the characters look "tough" in the typical Right Stuff way. Men look tough, boys look tough like men, animals are tough, girls are tough...it's pretty cool. The character designs are pretty cool too and the cutscenes are acted out very well...and have  real BLOOD...not the pink stuff, green stuff, or white stuff. It's blood. This actually surprised me a fair deal coming from the more cartoony and silly Battle Tycoon...however, the game still does seem to possess some of the cartoony humor that was evident in BT. First few anime scenes are awesome.

Basically speaking, the game deals with a 17 year old boy named Kenbu who has the power to change into a demi-human wolf. Kenbu wants to become a proud warrior and he receives combat training daily from his mentor and older-brother-figure, Ouken. One day, a pair of men exploring a forest close to Kenbu's village get killed by an unusual monster. A messenger finds the two men dead and runs back and tells the people of the village (during Kenbu and Ouken's training). Since Ouken is one of the greatest and skilled fighters in the village, they ask him to investigate the matter. Initially, Ouken wanted to go alone, but after enough begging, he (reluctantly) allows Kenbu to tag along.
