Hokuto no Ken : Raoh Gaiden – Ten no Haō (北斗の拳 ラオウ外伝 天の覇王)
Gameplay
Based on the spin-off manga Ten no Haō centered on Raoh, this fighting game emphasizes the brutal face-to-face combat the series is known for. The system is intentionally simple to pick up, designed for fans of the franchise who may not be familiar with demanding fighting games, with accessible controls and responsive gameplay. The arenas are scattered with objects that special techniques can destroy, adding damage and reinforcing the feeling of power. The game features thirteen characters and twelve arenas, as well as a two-player versus mode.
Of note
Developed by Lightweight, the studio behind Arc System Works’ Hokuto no Ken fighting game, and published by Interchannel, this title accompanied the release of the Ten no Haō animated series, which aired in late 2008. The voice cast is polished, notably featuring Koyama Rikiya in the role of Raoh. It was sold for 5,040 yen.
