TEKKEN

Tekken is a fighting game series with a storied history and a surprisingly enjoyable narrative. It began in 1994 with the original Tekken on the PlayStation system.

The triumphant return of the Tekken franchise is packed full of goodies. There are sixteen battle stages, thirty-two playable characters, and eight different play modes to experience.

TEKKEN 8 PACKS A SERIOUS PUNCH

WOLFENSTEIN RPG The core gameplay is the same, but Wolfenstein’s story, style, and lore help to put the game over the top.

Aside from this, each character in the game has their own story battles. Each story battle contains five battles to go through with their own narrative. Some of the main modes are Arcade Quest, Ghost Battle, and Tekken Ball.

It takes about three matches for the AI to learn how you play. Tekken Ball, originally introduced in Tekken 3, is back as well. For those unfamiliar, it involves hitting a ball into your opponent to do damage.

Regarding presentation, Tekken 8 is a cinematic gem. The level of detail in the characters, levels, and movie cut scenes is some of the best I have seen in recent fighting games. Some of the details are in the swag.

The entire game just oozes personality from each character’s appearance, clothing, and behavior. The soundtrack is very good as well, adding another level of swag. The Juke Box feature allows you to choose which soundtrack you would like to listen to as well.

For those looking to maximize your customization, you can purchase new clothes for your characters and avatars. Clothes, accessories, and other swag are also purchasable with coins earnable through modes in the game.
