Description

A one-on-one 2D fighting game based on the popular Ranma 1/2 manga series set around the misadventures of a martial artist named Ranma cursed with being transformed into a female version of himself when doused with water, with the game focusing on the one-on-one duels between the various characters. Gameplay is similar to other one-on-one beat 'em ups, in which you control your characters movements and attacks in a scrolling 2D plane attempting to defeat your opponent with special moves (triggered by specific controller motions) and avoid his attacks. The single player story mode allows you to choose the male and female versions of Ranma and then takes you through 7 best 2-out-of-3 matches against a collection of characters from the series, while a 2-player Vs mode allows you to freely select any of the characters without restrictions.
