Description

Darkstalkers Chronicle: The Chaos Tower features five different modes of play. Arcade Mode is a seamless conversion where players must defeat numerous CPU-controlled characters. Training Mode gives gamers the option to choose their favourite character and hone their skills. Network Mode allows friends to engage in three different wireless head-to-head networked battles: versus, limit battle and league.

Versus offers true two-player competitive matches. Limit Battle randomly assigns a handicap to both challengers, forcing them to strategize their moves in order to claim victory. League allows four players to battle in round-robin mini tournaments where the order of turn is determined by the number of wins and loses. In the new Tower Mode, select three characters from the extensive roster and ascend to the pinnacle of a mysterious tower where many opponents await players. The course taken and fighting conditions will change dynamically based on performance during the multitude of one-on-one battles. Pitting the right competitor against an opponent will be the key to success. Progression through Tower and Arcade Mode directly affects the new Chronicle Mode which is a gallery that houses a collection of unlockable bonus materials that including original artwork and movies.

Features:
  • Full roster of Darkstalkers characters - Reunite with all 18 infamous night warriors including: Demitri Maximoff the Vampire whose sharp skills include the dreaded Chaos Flare; Bishamon, the Samurai ghost warrior from Japan who possesses a cursed suit of armor and uses Storm Wind and other powerful moves to beat his enemies and the Succubus Morrigan Aenslaed, a Scottish renegade who's known to have an array of magical powers, including the Shadow Blade
  • Two selectable screen settings - Change the size ratio of the screen at anytime by choosing either normal or wide resolutions.
  • Five modes of gameplay:
  • Arcade - Defeat numerous CPU-controlled characters to reach the final boss
  • Training - Practice various moves and combos to perfect fighting skills
  • Network - Engage in network battle using a wireless LAN and select between three different types of modes
  • Versus - Two-player competitive matches where players can adjust the handicap and select different stages
  • Limit Battle - Both fighters will be randomly assigned a handicap, forcing them to strategize their moves in order to claim victory
  • League - Up to four players can battle in round-robin mini tournaments
  • Tower - A survival-style mode that lets gamers pick a team of three who will journey to the top of a mysterious tower and defeat the enemies they encounter through a multi-path tournament. Advancement and winning conditions will change depending on performance during each clash which in turn affects Chronicle mode
  • Chronicle - Progressing through Tower and Arcade Mode will reveal a cache of items in Chronicle Mode which house a collection of unlockable bonus features including original artwork and movie galleries.

Review by Oliver on 8th January, 2012
4 stars "Capcom's "other" Great Fighter"

Overlooked compared to Street Fighter, Darkstalkers is a great game for 2D fighting fans. This game basically takes all the technical elements and characters from Darkstalkers, NightWarriors and Darkstalkers 3 and combines them into one solid package.

Well worth the purchase.

Review by Rich on 27th November, 2007
4 stars "Thumb blistering fun."

This is a fantastic package for fighting game afficianados. Darkstalkers is big, brash and fun. Its not as balanced or refined as Street Fighter perhaps, but the outlandish charachterisations and imaginitive design more than make up for this. One word of warning – the PSP D-Pad takes some getting used to when it comes to executing smooth moves in this type of game. There are accessories out there to help alleviate this or you can just employ different tactics.
I wish this would come out on a console so I could play with my arcade stick!
