Neon lights and moving dinosaurs are just a few of the impressive sights you can join as you battle. Animations are fluid, and perhaps most impressively, each of the game’s colorful levels is constantly animated as well. It’s a little disheartening to see a movement away from the console version’s stylized cell-shading, but the 3D models for each character still look great.


Visually, the game is very likely the best-looking mobile fighter to date. You’ll see a few familiar faces, such as Street Fighter‘s Ryu and Tekken‘s Kazuya, but the supporting cast of just ten characters is pretty slim. Players create teams of two characters (in this version, one of those two characters plays the role of support), and duke it out to become champion of the multi-franchise fighting game universe. With Street Fighter X Tekken Mobile, Capcom is delivering a smaller bite-sized version of its recent console release. With the new Street Fighter X Tekken Mobile, we had our fingers crossed that we’d see that Volt magic one more time. And with good reason: Volt does everything a mobile fighting game needs, from controls to multiplayer. They began with Street Fighter IV, upped the ante with the fantastic Street Fighter IV: Volt, and have had a hard time topping the formula since. Like a flurry of Dhalism punches, this one’s full of hits and misses.įighting games are slowly moving into their own on mobile devices, and it’s all a great deal because of the work Capcom has done.
