Doujin fighting games

As with other Watanabe games the fighting system is top-notch, hidden on the surface by the game's bubbly, colourful charm. Each character has a range of unique moves which, although intuitive, do feel a little bit limited. However the inclusion of the Certain Kill Techniques and Super Certain Kill Techniques essentially grand names for super special moves specific to each character means there is plenty of chance for players to learn and for their skills to grow as they progress.

The characters are quite well balanced too and this, coupled with the limited number of moves for each character, means that victory is often due to skill with the chosen fighter and not just down to who can mash the buttons the quickest. It should also be mentioned that the game features a Guard Power bar so that Guard Crushes and Guard Cancels are all possible, along with an Initiative bar that, when fully charged, can be used to speed up attacks for a limited time.

It should be said that all the games above worked flawlessly after a little bit of tweaking and sometimes patching. Speaking of patching, that old PC stablemate, it is also necessary in some cases in order to balance out or tweak the game. Given that the games themselves are hard to track down, the patches can be just as elusive.

It should also be said that while these demos are available, finding them is often a bit of a struggle. More often than not the developers never expected them to be of interest to anyone not of their native shores, so there are hardly any English language-based sites which host them.

On another note, older games will not necessarily support joypad or controller input. While it is possible to play the games on a keyboard, anyone who wants to get full enjoyment from of them and retain the full use of their fingers will require a joypad or joystick of some kind.

For these games freeware programmes like JoyToKey are available to map key presses to the joypad and are highly recommended. Peace and Love: An End to Fighting?
