The game is notable for a number of reasons. The first is for having a four-way 3D battle system, something that had never been done to the fullest like this before. [[OvershadowedByControversy The game is also quite notable for the controversy surrounding it]]. The game's [[{{Gorn}} ultra violence]] and dark [[CombatSadomasochist sadomasochistic]] themes caused it to get quite a bit of flack from Creator/ElectronicArts, who then-recently had bought the game's publisher, Virgin Interactive, and then [[ExecutiveMeddling forcibly shelved]] the game from release to avoid it tarnishing their image. EA also shot down any chance of the game getting a release by any other publisher, believing the game to be too violent to release. ''Thrill Kill'' is also notable for being one of the first video games to receive an [[UsefulNotes/AdultsOnlyRatingESRB AO (Adults Only) rating]], though the rating never went to full use due to the game never being officially released.

''Thrill Kill'' is an [[{{Vaporware}} unreleased]] [[{{Gorn}} ultra-violent]] fighting game for the Sony UsefulNotes/PlayStation. Set in [[CityOfTheDamned an urban version of Hell]], the characters were all incredibly evil mortals, damned for various atrocities, including murder. However, rather than being sent directly to their just desserts, they're able to fight each other for another chance in the mortal world, watched over by Marukka the Goddess of Secrets, who has organized the infernal tournament ([[ItAmusedMe simply because she's bored]]) and promised the winner reincarnation on Earth.

* WinsByDoingAbsolutelyNothing: Discouraged; while you could technically just sit back in the first two rounds of a fight and let your opponents kill each other, the character who lands a kill in a given round starts the next round with a "Kill Bonus" added to their Kill Meter, encouraging you to actively go for the kill every round of the match.

Instead of going down when you take damage, it fills up when you inflict damage (it usually forces players to be more aggressive in their gameplay strategy). When the Kill Meter is full, you can kill off one of the other 3 opponents. You repeat this process until you're down to the last opponent, at which point you can unleash a [[TitleDrop "Thrill]] [[FinishingMove Kill".]]
