Toshinden 4

The fourth Toshinden game. As usual, the basic concept is standard Beat’em’Up fare – two men enter, one man leaves.

This time around, characters work in teams of three and are selected as such, although there is a normal single-character versus mode for two players as well. Most of the “old” faces have been removed and replaced with new characters, and some of those that remain have changed significantly.

Other than that, the (nowadays somewhat standard-fare) twist of “overdrive” bars that fill up during combat and can be used for extra-powerful special moves is back from the previous incarnation.

Like many other things, the system has slightly changed in Toshinden 4 compared to its predecessor: the overdrive bar is separated in three units, and characters either have normal overdrive moves that empty one third of the bar, or a particularly devastating special that uses up the whole bar at once.
