Ikki Tousen: Shining Dragon gives a new meaning to “battle damage”

Insert Credit who is also glancing over Marvelous home page from time to time spotted a game based off of Ikki Tousen, a martial arts manga where schools are at war with each other. The obvious genre choice for a game is fighting and Marvelous came up with a gimmick to push the title. During fights characters in Ikki Tousen: Shining Dragon have parts of their clothes ripped off when they are hit. It’s not exactly Strip Fighter II: Turbo because scrapped bits of cloth cover all of the naughty bits. As you can probably guess the cast is entirely female and there are no plans for a North American release. Will half naked 3D characters sell a fighting game? Marvelous and Tecmo seem to think so!

If you’re one of the handful of people who read the manga or curious check out the trailer.
