– Tekken Mobile
And let's go to the controversial participant of our post. Okay, Tekken Mobile isn't exactly the best fighting game that could be made. But it is an interesting and fun game to pass the time.
There are 3 game modes: Story, Dojo and Events. In the story mode, we face battles and the plot revolves around Kazuya. The Dojo mode is the online mode, but it is not a real-time versus. Each player invades the opponent's dojo and defeats game-controlled opponents. The last mode is special events. There's even a multiplayer mode, which will be local via Wi-Fi and added soon.
The gameplay is just by touch, but it takes strategy to control the distance and be able to use combos with the cards. One of the biggest flaws of the game is that it requires a lot of internet. Game in Spanish with the right to dubbing some characters.
