Ikki Tousen: Eloquent First is an action game, where you basically play to lead. It is a new PSP game, developed by Marvelous Interactive, which is based on a challenging theme. The game features around 15 characters or more specifically fighters, who are all struggling hard to show their power.

To compliment and contrast with the standard powerful and well-built fighters, the game features a handful of lithe and young high school girls. As it is side scrolling game, you can enter the shoes of your preferred character to defeat the rivals. You can choose to be either Kanu or Ryomou, or one of four fighters, secretly tucked away behind the silhouettes. You will control the fighters all around the roads of Tokyo and even beyond that. To add to the game’s superpower effect to the game, some characters are supposedly instilled with the early warriors’ spirits.

Fighting in and out, the game requires the players to cross one level after the other. This is actually essential for the players to move to another level while defeating all those that cross your path. Here, you can make great use of the various buttons: one for the standard attack and another for the special pack. However, the result of the special attack button will vary, depending on the character you choose, and it will always be something really explosive. Although it is not incorrect to consider it a 2D game, the depth of field in some areas gives it an enhanced scope.

The look of the characters is also among the most discussed issues surrounding Ikki Tousen: Eloquent First. The animation is reminiscent of typical Japanese anime found in games like Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, but with much more of a manga element. Most of the school goers look like actual warriors, with clear signs of rage and anger on their faces. But a long fight is tedious enough to take away the energy of even the most dominant fighters, so the streets will also show some instant energizers to bring you back in the form. In addition, there are some vending machines and oil drums along with the recycling bins to clutter the streets. All this is meant to make the play much more interesting for you and to let you to collect maximum points.
