![]() The Rage system introduced in Tekken 6 is back, which allowed low health players to dish out more damage in an attempt to mount a comeback. This is pretty much the same Tekken engine we’re all used to, with a couple of additional trappings thrown in for good measure. The question is, does Tekken 7 live up to the impressive lineage that this series has justly earned over the years, or is this the new black sheep of the family? The truth is, it’s equal parts fantastic and frustrating.Īs far as gameplay goes, Tekken 7 is brilliant on all fronts. Now, the hotly anticipated Tekken 7 has finally arrived on consoles, even though it’s been available in Japanese arcades for years. It was, and still is, the fighting game for the everyman/woman. Players could either mash buttons and hope that bitching combos would happen or take time to study the move lists, yet both players would come away with an enjoyable experience. Tekken sits at the pinnacle of the 3D fighting genre, as it helped to define the term “easy to pick up, hard to master”. Of course, those sales figures aren’t just freak accidents. Producer Katsuhiro Harada reckoned it sold at least 8.3 million copies, and it’s the third best selling fighting game of all time. Hardly surprising really Tekken 3 dominated the PS1. Jaded gamers who aren’t so keen on that whole DLC fad will wax lyrical about how they’d challenge their friends to see who The King of Iron Fist truly was. For a certain generation of gamers, Tekken is forever enshrined as the go-to fighting game.
