I never played a fighting game where you had to wait for someone to do a special move or invincible move. Tekken Revolution was a revolution all right.For Spammers.This game is good if you're not good at fighting games and new to Tekken.Most of the people I play online are bad.they grab spam and use Special Art spam.The other moves on the game are pretty much useless.As a Tekken Fan seeing bad players flock to this game and are able to win also because of the point allocation system stops me from taking this Tekken game seriously.But to be fair it was made to be "free" and tailor made for newbies.I hate that the majority of the cast isn't on there but they still have Asuka and more characters should still be on the way.The music is forgettable.The stages are rehashed from Tekken Tag Tournament 2.If Fighting games were to go free to play like this or Dead or Alive5 Ultimate I'd give up the genre.This Tekken is a causal game.But its WAY too casual.I don't like having to dumb down to defeat an opponent.Traditionally in Tekken it took skill to win.On Revolution though that's a out the window.Its going to set Revolution players up for failure when they try the real games.Its fun but has only Arcade and online versus and nothing else.I thought TTT2's juggling was overkill until Revolution came out.The game was almost a step in the right direction but alas it falls to the same thing that burdens Fighting games now.Too Much flash not enough substance… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Starting point: it's a Tekken, the chars tht i love, the combos tht i love and thts enought. then we have, a good server, at least i dont have a lot of cases where i went desconected 'cause of the server. the invinceble move has its good an' bad, it makes easier to spammers, but it breaks possible combos tht would DESTROY you. And finally the levels stuff: i think its absolute **** a great fight game, you should have the exact same chances as your oponent, but if you start with more HP and more damage you are cleary ahead.

    Grafics 20/20 - its beautyfull, well done. i can't really complain.
    Gameplay 1620 - its a Tekken B*tches, but it lacks a tutorial.
    Campaign 10/20 - isnt the porpose of the game so isnt 0, but you miss one, a tutorial in it would be great.
    Multiplayer 12/20 - the local area multiplayer are inexistent and the punishments for players tht make the game worst (quiters an' ppl who doesnt move at all) is not tht good.
    Fun 16/20 - This is personal opnion, but i really enjoy the combos in tekken and it makes the game really good. when you see the character throwing kicks after kicks is simply amazing.

    I've played my fair share of Tekken titles from the arcade days to now and this abomination is just not Tekken in my eyes.

Which in itself defeats the purpose of this title being "Newbie" friendly. For example, if a player doesn't know how to break a chain grab from a King user with a 200 power stat increase then they're guaranteed a loss. I wanted to give a fair review about this game unlike other reviewers who've played just for two days. I have over 3000+ wins and signed in for probably over 300+ days, needless to say I "like" the game. However, the ongoing epidemic of disconnecters, hackers and lag delayers sours the online gaming experience immensely. On top of the already flawed "red" moves which fighters use to evade being properly punished when they commit to a punishable string. I can debate the validity of the invincibility frames, its pros and cons but if you don't believe me find out for yourself and see just how frustrating this simple addition can be.… Expand

    For a free game, Tekken Revolution is really good.
    But no training mode?? (Namco said they will add it soon though)
    Tekken is one of the best fighting games, very fun, and Revolution is a good exemple.
    But i'm not a big fan of the coins system, just my personal opinion.
    Everyone can try it since it's free, and probably will like it.

    I decided to write a review about this game since most of the bad user reviews here that obviously are from people who want to express their hate for the Free-To-Play model and obviously never spent a second playing it.

    I own Tekken 6, Tag Tournament 2, yet I currently play a round or two of Revolution almost daily. It has the graphics and feel of TTT2, which is the best incarnation of Tekken in my opinion, but has a focus on 1-on-1 fighting, which I personally prefer while learning to become better at the game. The fighters on the initial roster cover the styles broadly, the Capoeira fighters are initially absent, but that's probably for the better since beginners might initially get a lot of success by button mashing Eddie or Christie and later hit a wall when they have to play against better players where they actually have to learn the more complex move set of the Capoeira style.

    3 modes are available, Online Ranked Match, Online Player Match and Arcade, which are the most fun modes anyways. It is remarkable how much you can get out of Tekken Revolution without ever spending any money on it. While I wouldn't say that Tekken in general is easy for beginners, this is a risk-free way to get to know the Tekken series for someone who is willing to put in a little time. Someone new to Revolution should maybe first start reading the Software Manual, then head in to Training mode to get a feel for which fighter feels best to them and then train in Arcade Mode to build up their favorite fighter.

    While you play the game there are a number of rewards to earn: Fight Money, Gift Points, Experience and Blood Seals. There are also 2 types of player levels, the rank, as measured in the Kyu/Dan system and the experience level.

    The rank is increased by winning online matches, while the experience level reflects the time on spent by playing the game in general which results in higher Power, Endurance and Vigor stats. When playing ranked matches, the rank is the one that is used to find the matching opponent.

    Gift Points are used to unlock new characters one is not quite happy with their initial choice, so over time the roster will fill up by simply playing. There is one character which is entirely new to the Tekken series, namely Eliza, a vampire which is a fan community choice. To unlock the character, the player needs to earn 20000 Blood Seals which takes quite a while.

    Everything described above is free, and as I said, one could play Tekken Revolution and be happy without spending money on it, so where is the Free to Play aspect ?

    Well, the game limits the amount of times that can be played without waiting, by having a virtual currency. These coins are used to play each mode, are limited in number and they renew after some time, one hour per coin for Arcade mode and half an hour for online.

    In addition there are Premium coins and Premium tickets, which earn you more rewards than regular coins especially during special events which come up from time to time. Premium coins are purchased with real money in the store, while Premium tickets are awarded by the game on certain occasions.

    In conclusion, Tekken Revolution is a great version of Tekken, the graphics are on par with Tekken Tag Tournament, the available modes work well and it gives people a chance to try out the series without spending money if they don't want to. Never at any point do you feel forced to spend cash on it, it is entirely optional. Just wanted to get that out to provide a fair opinion to a game that deserves a fair treatment.    … Expand

You get a ticket for signing in every day and for every 10 victories or so. A coin for online battle is given every 30 minutes and one for arcade (offline) every hour. You can also pay for tickets if you're desperate to play and have ran out. The game isn't visually or mechanically broken, and it's fairly well balanced (with optional but not pay-to-win characters). However, the lack of a tutorial, training mode, trials and explanation of game's mechanics, controls, buttons etc. make it difficult to pick up and play. The whole point of free to play is to attract those that aren't particularly interested in your game to promote the franchise. By excluding the most crucial feature it may actually put more people off. That said, once you get used to it the game is strangely addicting; even though gameplay-wise it offers nothing exciting, new or particularly polished. Overall it's worth playing if you're experienced with Tkken, but if you just want to try it out then avoid.… Expand

    Tekken Revolution is a f2p take on the Tekken series. Now of course there are major changes.

    First off they gave every character an invincible move where it absorbs an attack and if it does it's guaranteed to hit. This is a double edge sword due to the players who have no idea how to play just spam the **** out of the invincible move. However a decent/good player will know that it can be countered by ANYTHING when it's blocked, thus leading to punishing the spammer with a combo.
    Also each character has about 3 critical moves which have a chance of doing more damage than normal.

    Next is that a stat system has been introduced. Stats can be increases by using stat points and money which are gained by fighting and leveling up. There are 3 stats that a player can increase. These are: Power (affects the damage output)
    Vitality (affects the lifebar e.g adding more to it increases the health bar) and
    Vigor (affects crit chance)
    This can severely cripple the game as it can make matches unfair. Luckily if you play in a lobby then stats can be turned off. However this is only available in lobbies so match making fights and quick matches are stuck with this system.

    The bound system has been removed thus making juggles shorter and do less damage, giving newcomers a better fighting chance.

    Now here comes the f2p aspect. You cannot play continuously online as for each battle you consume a coin. Each player gets 5 free coins to play online and 3 or 5 coins to play arcade mode. These free coins regenerate over real time, where one coin for online battles regenerates every 30 minutes, and half the time for an arcade coin. Although there are premium tickets where unlike free coins, if you win you get that ticket back and can keep on using it unless you lose a fight with it. Now for the micro transactions you can buy premium coins, which are just premium tickets where if you use a premium coin it gives you a premium ticket.

    Now this game can be extremely frustrating with continuous losses from certain characters where people spam and only spam. Otherwise it's an OK Tekken game. The changes made can drive away hardcore Tekken fans and please newcomers at the same time. For veteran/hardcore Tekken players/fans you might wanna stick with Tekken Tag 2 or you can try it out as it is a free game. For myself I've stuck with Tekken Tag 2 as it doesn't have as much scrubs/spammers (and no invincible moves).    … Expand

The skill needed to play this game has been reduced thanks to all new Critical Art moves, which are invincible moves that can turn the tide of battle. This allows casuals to finally sink in the game mechanics while standing a chance against veteran players of the series. Unfortunately, while the intentions were good, the promise falls short, as the moves its self (while able to be blocked and punished easily) breaks a certain core mechanic of the game: Frame data. The move does away with a lot of combo strings by some characters, thus limiting the characters effectiveness overall. You will oft find matches where players just wait it out for someone to throw a move out only to eat a face full of red particles and light effects. Tekken has always been about rewarding defensive and patient play, however the game has become too much about defense in my opinion.

    The addition of RPG like stats to a fighting game is a nice addition. The ability to stat into your type of gameplay suits the game well, people who like to get up close and personal more oft than not tend to spec into Power. Those that like to wait until the opponent messes up might end up speccing into Endurance. This is a sort of meta game that has been introduced to the series, and I like it so far.

    Other than that, its a solid game, and I think the game is deserving of its price: Free.    … Expand

No 2 player local mode is a shame but it has ranked matches, player matches and arcade, all if which uses a token every time you play. But it also has a practise mode that doesnt use tokens.

    Tekken Revolution is more experimental than Combot, but solid execution on some admittedly controversial ideas ensure that this free-to-play fighter is worth a bash. Franchise fans will feel more frustrated than Devil Jin upon witnessing the watered down gameplay mechanics, but casual combatants may find themselves lured back into the wacky world of the King of Iron Fist Tournament on the back of the digital download’s inherent accessibility and free entry fee.
