Battle Arena Toshinden

Battle Arena Toshinden is a three-dimensional fight in which players fight with each other in special arenas, using their own weapons. The title is the first widely known production of the Japanese studio Tamsoft. Originally released on Sony PlayStation, Sega Saturn and Nintendo Game Boy.

Story

The story of the game tells the story of eight travelling warriors who, led by destiny, meet in the legendary Toshinden tournament, organized by a mysterious sponsor named Gaia, under the aegis of a secret organization known as the Secret Society. Each warrior has his own motivation: some fight for fame, others to avenge their loved ones. It is certain, however, that participation in the competition will change their lives forever.

Mechanics

The game features eight playable characters from different parts of the world, such as Japan, China, Russia, Scotland and France. Each of them has its own history, a dedicated set of blows and a favorite weapon, which is used in combat. Particularly noteworthy are the so-called desperate attacks, very difficult to carry out, but able to take away almost all the energy from the opponent. The skirmishes are played in full three-dimensional arenas, from which the fall is associated with automatic defeat. In the course of the game, players can also unlock hidden characters, including the sponsor of the competition named Gaia and bossa Sho Shinjo - the winner of the previous Toshinden tournament.

Technical issues

Battle Arena Toshinden is one of the first battles that allow you to move within a 360 degree radius and attack at any angle.
