Overview

Battle Arena Toshinden is a fighting series built around weapon duels and movement in three dimensions. Sideways evasions, dramatic special attacks and changing arena rules make positioning part of the contest. Representative games: Battle Arena Toshinden (1995): Sideways dodges and ring-outs add another dimension to its weapon-based duels. Battle Arena Toshinden 2 (1995): Adds an Overdrive gauge to the returning cast’s clashes and special attacks. Battle Arena Toshinden 3 (1996): Enclosed arenas let fighters bounce opponents off walls and ceilings to extend attacks. Suitable for: A good match for players curious about early 3D fighters and the spacing of weapon combat. Expect to experiment with evasions, attack reach and the ways each arena changes a duel.
