I honestly have not played much of the Online Modes, mainly because they are lacking, but also because a few modes have been removed – such as Team Battle, Time Attack and Survival.

Namco have been releasing patches, but people are still complaining (from what I’ve been reading).

On all three platforms – PC, PS4 and Xbox One – none of the Online stuff seems to work. These modes are great if you’re more of a competitive player of Tekken, that’s if the Online Modes actually work. Even if you’re knocked out of a round, you go up against other losers to become King of the Losers (in the literal sense, not the bullying sense). The Tournament Mode, however, is a new mode – this allows 8 players to battle it out and become a champion (no, this does not effect your ranking). No option to rematch, just go back to the menu. Ranked Matches allows you to go against anyone else in the world and put yourself in a category (there’s only 7). Overall, the Story Mode – for me at least – is the selling point of the game, and will it was enjoyable and added more lore, it was still lacking.ĭespite being 2 separate modes, I’m putting them together for one simple reason – neither of them work properly. I understand that this is a fighting game – there isn’t really meant to be a story, and even if there is, and it’s not great (apart from the Story Mode in Tekken 5 – that was amazing with the small interludes), however Scenario Campaign was much longer, so I expected the same. You’ll probably need another hour to complete all the Character Episodes). Overall, I believe the Story Mode is what the Tekken production team were mainly focused on and sold the game the most, however it was lacking and fairly short (you can play the Mishima Saga in the space of 2 hours or so. The Tekken comedy is there and I would rate it poorly, however it did give more insight into the Tekken lore, which I think saved it. It was lack luster and gave alternatives to endings depending on who won the fight (apart from Shaheen, Miguel and Eliza – they had episodes all to themselves). Unlike the usual Story Mode of previous games that usually have 7 battles that include a pre-fixed battle, followed by an ending, these Episodes only had one fight followed by the ending, which were only a few minutes long.

The second Story Mode was Character Episodes – these followed characters who did not make an appearance in the Mishima Saga (apart from Nina and Devil Jin). There was just no emotion, despite him being given a tragic backstory. The story was great and definitely answered a few questions about the Mishima family but the reporter as the narrator made it a little bland as he used the same tone all the time (even when he shouted at Heihachi). Yes, Tekken Force and Scenario Campaign use guns, but this scene with Lars rescuing Jin was fiddly for me, as the gun controls where the same as punches, so I often drew out the gun when I didn’t want to. Also, there were quick time events ( QTEs) which sometimes felt weren’t necessary along with being able to use guns, but only in one scene.

However, on the PC version, the scenes would occasionally glitch with speech over speech and pausing, forcing it to catch up. The visuals are fantastic (both PC and PS4), with very little jarring (there was sometimes a brief pause between a cutscene going into gameplay, but apprently it’s fine running on the PS4 Pro).

The fights are fun and the way it is presented is very reminiscent of Soul Calibur V‘s Story Mode with drawn and unmoving cuts scenes, to full-fledged animated cutscenes (it makes sense as Tekken’s director Katsuhiro Harada also works on the Soul Calibur Project). You play as many different characters in different scenarios as the story progresses. The story follows a reporter who has a personal vendetta against the Zaibastu and Jin Kazama after his home town is destroyed and his family killed as casualties of the ongoing war. After Jin is missing from his fight with Azazel, Nina briefly takes over the Mishima Zaibatsu, until Heihachi turns up, defeats Nina and takes over the Zaibastu again. This time, the format was slightly changed as there are 2 Story Modes – The Mishima Saga, which follows the battle between the Mishimas which has been prolonging for decades and then Character Episodes.Īs I mentioned, the Mishima Saga follows Heihachi and Kazuya’s ongoing battle against eachother. This was the part of the game I was most excited for – after Tekken 6‘s story mode Scenario Campaign, it left me with so many questions and was definitely open for expanding the story (especially after the post-credits scene). And yes, because I’m a fan girl, I am going to go into detail. Rather than commenting on Presentation, Soundtrack, Story/Gameplay and Overall Experience like I usually do for reviews, I’m just going to do small reviews for each aspect of the game.
