Game Introduction

Two years after "The King of Iron Fist 3" Heihachi Mishima must set up a fourth tournament when he discovers his son, Kazuya Mishima, has been brought back to life. Players choose from 19 characters and attempt to win the tournament. After defeating seven other fighters they go on to the finals and face Heihachi Mishima himself. All of the warriors have a reason for entering. Some, like Violet and Yoshimitsu, want to end Heihachi's reign as leader of the Mishima Zaibatsu. Others, like Nina and King, have a personal issue with another fighter they want to settle.

Game Play

A basic 3-D fighting game. Players use standard moves such as throws and special kicks to deplete their opponent's life bar. Experienced players can use techniques such as juggle combos.
