TEKKEN 7

The Iron Fist tournament is coming to a close: the TEKKEN 7 closes the long history of the Mishima clan, where father, son and grandson have been sorting things out for several decades. The game was made on the Unreal Engine 4 engine: it appeared in arcades in 2015, and reached consoles and computers in 2017, and since then has remained the main fighting game from Bandai Namco.. Fights have become more spectacular due to effects, slowdowns at the decisive moment and finishing moves. The story mode is presented not as a long film, but as an investigation by a journalist who unearths Mishim family secrets. Between chapters there are battles, for which they give money to buy new equipment and cosmetics. Classic arcade climbs, fights with ghosts in Treasure Battle and personal stories for each fighter are also in place. The roster is huge and varied: in addition to series veterans, there are guests from other universes - Akuma from Street Fighter, Geese Howard, Noctis and Negan. Each character has a long list of moves, and the “purple” rage system allows you to snatch victory with one precise blow, even if you almost lost due to the round. You can upgrade your favorite fighter not only in battle: the game has customization of appearance and clothing, a training arena for practicing combos, and a detailed analysis of frames that helps you understand where exactly you went wrong. The arenas look different, and between rounds they show episode analysis and replays, just like in a real tournament. It is not surprising that the game has been on the list of the main disciplines of major competitions for years. Online lives on a stable connection and ranked matches, and additions bring new arenas and entertainment like bowling with characters. TEKKEN 7 is a solid eSports fighting game with a clear entry point and a very high skill ceiling.
