About the Game
Heihachi Mishima, the head of the powerful Mishima Zaibatsu, has been dethroned and defeated by his son Kazuya, backed and possessed by the Devil himself. Under his leadership, the organization has grown even more corrupt, and is involved in illegal animal experiments. An animal rights activist named Jun Kazama is sent to confront Kazuya. Meanwhile, Heihachi is plotting to overthrow his son.
Gameplay & Core Systems
The follow-up to Tekken is a versus fighting game featuring similar mechanics, with four buttons assigned to left and right punches and kicks. New moves include back throws, chain-throws, and a sidestep unique to Kazuya and Heihachi Mishima. The game also introduces three new gameplay modes: Survival, Team Battle and Time Attack mode. Survival mode is an endless series of matches, keeping track of the number of opponents players defeats and not restoring the controllable character to full health after each battle. Team Battle is a two-player mode with up to eight selectable characters.
Standout Features
- Tackles now inflict damage depending on the distance.
- Time Attack offers the opportunity to establish records in timed combat.
Modes & Ways to Play
In attempt to draw his father out, Kazuya organizes the second King of the Iron Fist tournament.
Player support includes Same/Split-Screen, Free-for-all / One-on-one (VS), and 1-2 Players.
