Description
In
Battle Arena Toshinden you have to join one of eight different Martial Arts performers, each with their own weapon and special moves. In the tournament you have to fight (and win) against all other opponents. Then you have to fight a “mirror fight” against a reflected image of you. To finally become the fighter of the century, you fight against Gaia – the boss character.
Before trying to fight the tournament you can practice new moves in practice-mode. For beginners the game has some helping features, such as an auto-defense move. The game also has a two-player option, via network and modem on PC. The game uses a real 3D engine, which is fully rotatable.
Alternate Titles

Trivia
The DOS version includes Earthworm Jim as a playable character. This is because of the deal that
Playmates (publisher of the first two
Earthworm Jim games) and
Takara (developer of the
Battle Arena Toshinden series) had made: whilist Takara would publish the Earthworm Jim games in Japan, Playmates would publish Toshinden 2 & 3 in the US, and also handle the DOS port of the original Battle Arena Toshinden.
