Hokuto No Ken Sensei no michi - The Way of Masters

Hokuto No Ken Sensei no michi - The Way of Masters takes inspiration from the legendary Fist of the North Star universe and turns it into a fighting-oriented fan project. The setting is packed with the familiar post-apocalyptic martial-arts atmosphere, where enormous warriors settle disagreements in a manner that is generally bad news for nearby scenery. Players face opponents using attacks and techniques inspired by the source material, while the presentation embraces the dramatic excess that makes the series so memorable. This is not subtle martial arts: it is muscular, theatrical and gloriously over the top. Fans of obscure Japanese projects and classic anime-inspired games will find plenty of curiosity value here, particularly if they enjoy their fighting games with maximum melodrama.
