DAY
FIST OF THE NORTH STAR
LEGENDS ReVIVE
The revered Fist of the North Star manga series is unapologetically off the rails: Characters have arms like canned hams and names like Mad Sarge, and hit like a Mack Truck.
And so does Fist of the North Star: Legends ReVIVE.
Created under the eye of longtime artist Tetsuo Hara, Legends ReVIVE is a picture-perfect retelling of the manga’s original story. But this time, you control the action.
The game’s flashy turn-based battles channel Fist of the North Star’s over-the-top flair. Brawny Kenshiro’s “Hokuto Hundred Blows Rushing Fist” technique thunderously bludgeons enemies to a pulp. Pipsqueak fighter Bat casually summons a jeep to drive over a horde of baddies. Subtle? No. Effective? Very. It’s a jeep!
With dozens of playable characters spanning both the manga and the related anime series, Legends ReVIVE is a treat for fans and a wonderful primer for newbies. Crack your knuckles—this fist hits hard.
