In this mode, the player faces off against a series of AI opponents to earn gold and Treasure Chests. More on the specific features later, but the game features a lot of customization items that are only unlockable via Treasure Battle. But who plays fighting games strictly for the narrative? Regardless, as convoluted as the plotlines were, it was enjoyable to see the series’ classic characters and newcomers alike interact with one another.Ĭharacter customization options have been a mainstay since they were first introduced in Tekken 5, and Tekken 7 continues the trend. Unsurprisingly, Tekken 7’s story didn’t feel particularly well tied together, especially the character-specific episodes that become available after the main story is completed.
The mode switches seamlessly between cinematic, scripted scenes and throwing the controls unexpectedly to the player, resulting in a dynamic pace that kept me on my toes. The story does trek into the events of past Tekken games, giving players a chance to play through iconic events in a unique manner, albeit only using specific characters.
