Hm, I knew of Bloody Roar, but I can't say with full certainty that it isnt' it, but I don't think it is... I don't remember any transforming going on, or animals.

I know of all 3, had great times with BAT, and played Ehrgeiz and Bloody Roar somewhat recently, don't think it's any of those. This game I'm remembering seemed very obscure and not well known, even at the time....or my mind is mixing memories it doesn't exist, really wish I knew which it was lol.

You have an idea of the region it was developed in, or the year you played it, or maybe a description of one of the stages? I'm guessing you already looked through these.
I sort of get the impression of Azrael from Legacy of Kain with that description, but that's not a fighting game.

Hmm, I had to have been too young to know that...in my mind it seemed very japanese. And the mental picture I have in my head of the devil character, and whomever he was fighting, it was on a kind of hellish looking stage, dark, very brooding.

Possibly Destrega or Battle Arena Toshinden, i know they were both on demo dics' back in the day

I definitely know it's not BAT, played the heck outta all of em on PS1, and I don't think it's Destrega either, but that game looks really cool!

Maybe The Unholy War, and the character you are thinking of was Angel?

Ok, after re-reading your post. I am pretty confident that it was most likely a Dark Stalkers game.

Trust me, I'm a Tekken addict, always have been, although the character in the game I'm trying to remember resembles Devil Kazuya, it definitely wasn't Tekken 2 or 3.

Did the fighters use weapons at all? Because that reminds me of Soul Caliber.
Were the fighters able to fly? If so, then that was probably Psychic Force.
Or maybe it was Killer Instinct? It was semi-3Dish.

They didn't use weapons, I'm not sure about the flying, but Psychic Force doesn't seem to have anyone in the roster that I remember, and I'm not sure about KI, was there one on PS1?

My personal fav from that time period was Samurai Showdown ... but that was more of a 2d fighter like classic SF2 or Darkstalkers.

This her?
If so the game youre thinking of is the popular fighting game Darkstalkers.

Hm, all the characters look human, don't think it was this one.

The only other 3D fighting game I can think of that hasn't already been mentioned is a fighting game called Cardinal Syn, which I remember playing on a demo disk, but don't recall a purple demon-like character. This was so long ago though, I could be wrong.
There is also another one, but most of the fighters were mutants and I am unsure if this was ever on a demo disk, but there is also a fighting game called Bio Freaks.

Do you remember a year or magazine? When you say 3D fighter, it's not a top-down is it?
Comment has been collapsed.
Don't remember either. 3D fighter as in, not Marvel vs. Capcom/Darkstalkers esque, but Battle Arena Toshinden/Tekken'ish.

I tried looking around without any luck so far, but I found a somewhat decent list of all the PS1 fighting games I could find. Mind you, it's a store page, but it seems to list a lot of obscure fighting games I've never heard of, so it might help ring a bell if you spot the name.

Hm, yea not seeing anything that jogs my memory :(. I really feel like this game doesn't exist, or my memory is warped and the game has already been listed lol.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh well, Perhaps it was Bushido Blade?
I don't think it was Ehrgeiz, and Soul Reaver is not a fighter is an action game but the chracter kinda resembles what you mention.

Likely wrong, but the cover art made me think worth a check, because always pallet swaps

....this.....is....it! This picture I remember specifically for some reason, and the boxart I'm dang sure is the character that I thought looked like Devil Kazuya, guess my memory warped it a bit but I'm 99% sure this is it! Thanks so much Delta and everybody for their help :). Now to get a copy of this game and see if it's a mediocre game that my kid self didn't care enough to realize :P.

Happy I could help. Seems it is on PC as a DOS title, so go DOSBox it if you can live with keyboard controls.

Well, I found this old obscure 3d PS1 fighter... Criticom. Does this link look familiar at all? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26LU78CphAQ

Ok, so this games name has alluded me for so many years, and it's so vague in my mind that I feel like perhaps it doesn't even exist. Maybe you kind people could help. Unfortunately, the only clues I have to offer are, it was on PS1, it was a 3D fighting game, I played it on a demo disc from some magazine, and I remember one character being some sort of purplish devil that I believe to resemble Devil Kazuya from Tekken 2. Picture for reference. I'm not sure if all of the other fighters were humanoid, but non human ...but maybe somebody will know what I'm talking about.
Edit: Thank you everyone for your answers, Delta triggered my memory it turns out it was Iron & Blood Warriors of Ravenloft.
