Tekken

Japanese fighting game

Tekken is a series of fighting video games developed by Bandai Namco, first released in arcades in 1994.

The franchise is known for its 3D combat, large roster of characters, and intricate combo systems.

Players fight one-on-one matches using punches, kicks, and character-specific moves: I've been playing Tekken since the PlayStation days.

The name comes from the Japanese word for "iron fist."
