Spikers Battle

Spikers Battle (スパイカーズバトル) is the fourth installment to the Spikeout series and only released in Japan. Putting an arena-styled competitive twist to the formula, Spikers Battle retains it’s 3D beat-’em-up gameplay but takes a more traditional verses fighting game approach. The game takes place in a urban setting and offers a total of eight playable streetfighter characters. Returning characters from the earlier 1998 arcade game Spikeout: Spike, Linda, Tenshin and White. The new fighters are Albelto, Hikaru, Fengli and Gorn.

In the game you fight in several different arenas against three playable and/or non-playable characters in a best out of three round match. Aside from the kick and punch attacks weapons like a baseball bat, hammer and flame thrower can be picked up and used on the opponents. Beaten enemies sometimes drop boxes that replenish life.
