Tekken 7 Mods Bust: A Welcome Return to the World of Fighting Games

The latest installment in the Tekken series, Tekken 7, has finally made its way to the masses after an impressive two-year run in Japanese arcades. And boy, is it a treat for fighting game enthusiasts. The series has never been about delicate frame-perfect combos like its 2D counterparts, but there's still plenty to get stuck into here.

As someone who's more accustomed to 2D fighters, I was pleasantly surprised by how much fun I had with Tekken 7. The moves feel more immediately damaging than in other games, and the rage system is a great comeback mechanic – even if it sometimes feels a little cheap. You can trigger a Rage Drive or Rage Art when your health drops below a third, which is basically a power boost to existing moves or one big super move.

In some ways, Tekken 7 takes a few pages from the Street Fighter playbook, particularly with its new rage system. However, it's had time to incubate and balance, unlike SF5. And that's what matters most – the fighting is absolutely blissful. Within the first 15 minutes, you'll be kicking away missiles like they're nothing.

After playing Injustice, which can sometimes feel serious and dull, Tekken 7 is a welcome breath of fresh air. The game knows how to lean into its universe's gleeful madness, and that confidence shines through in every aspect. With the upcoming Marvel vs Capcom Infinite, Nintendo's ARMS, and strong growth in fighters as esports, times are about to get even better for fighter fans.

Tekken 7 is an impressive return to form for the king of 3D fighters, and it's a must-play for anyone who loves fighting games. Whether you're new to the series or a seasoned veteran, there's something here for everyone – and with its confidence and sheer fun factor, Tekken 7 is sure to delight fans of all ages.
