in 1999. The player can choose from

in 1999. The player can choose from ten characters to fight in several game modes including story mode, arcade mode, versus mode, practice and survival mode. The storyline of the game tells of a being known as Ihadurca, a powerful being who can exist in multiple dimensions at one time. Through heavy cost, the inhabitants of the world of I-Praseru (Happy Island) were able to temporarily confine Ihadurca in a dimension known as Evil Zone. Now, a tournament is being held to select the strongest warrior throughout the dimensions to destroy Ihadurca before she can escape from Evil Zone and threaten the world once more. The story mode is a unique aspect to the game and sets it apart from other fighting games. Each character has a unique story mode which progresses like an ongoing.
As the mode progresses, you learn more about the character's backstory and why they are fighting, an incentive to play through the game with each character. Evil Zone is also one of the few games to feature a fully fleshed out story mode for its boss character. The game tries to focus on simplicity with a pick up and play feel that isn't daunting to new players. Fighting takes place on a 3D field and allows characters to move backwards, forwards, and sidestep left and right with ease. Most of the fighting is done with range-based attacks, but it is possible to attack from a short range and use grapple moves on your opponent. The fighting system only utilizes two main buttons, attack and guard, unlike most fighters, such as the Each character controls in exactly the same manner; however, each character has a set of unique attacks along with an ultra-attack that requires the player to expel Power Stocks. By holding the down the attack button, a character can charge up to 3 Power Stocks.
  1. The time that it takes to fully charge a stock depends on the current health of the character; a character with more health will take longer to charge while a character with minimal health could charge all 3 stocks in a few seconds.
  2. Many characters feature attacks that have lengthy animations, which adds a more dramatic and dynamic feel to battles.
  3. A general dramatic encounter can occur if both characters perform a dash attack at each other at the same time.
  4. This results in an event called a Pressure Dash where both characters must rapidly hit buttons in order to gain an advantage over the other player.
  5. The most notable animations are those used for each character's ultra-attack, which can last up to 20 seconds long.

These animations can become even longer when they are used as the attack that will finish the opponent. main character of the game, Setsuna has another separate entity existing within her (how exactly is never explained). This entity is called Karin and takes the form of another girl in a translucent form that apparently only Setsuna can see. It is Karin that gives Setsuna her supernatural abilities and a sword. Setsuna is friends with another cast member, Midori Himeno. All of Setsuna’s physical fighting moves had been taught to Setsuna by Midori. She is also acquainted with Keiya.
Her blazer uniform is brought up in a few of the other character’s story modes. Also known as Lie. Linedwell Rainrix stole a sword named Shahal from an antique shop. The sword grants him a variety of unusual abilities. It is suggested throughout the game that Shahal is an incarnation of Satan. The sword does possess Lie late on in his story and Kakurine and Ihadurca are aware of its identity. Erel uses a special suit of armour that rests on top of her shoulders she calls Nephilm, powered by her spirit to fight.
  1. It is revealed that it was once called the armour void, and was created by Kakurine.
  2. Erel’s story mode has the characters she is about to fight appear in each prologue sequence in a kind of comedy sketch.
  3. Often the kind of sketch is dependent on which character she will fight.
  4. Gally is hired to kill Ihadurca by a client.
  5. He has a large sword and a form of mechanical armour that can shoot missiles and lasers.

He has a wife who appears with him during the trailer sequences for each episode in the story mode. He is apparently a keen piano player and tries to hide his drinking from his wife. who is planning to kill Ihadurca and claim her power for his own. He wishes to use it to restore what is only referred to as the ‘energy’ of his friend or lover Kimika. Kimika’s energy was apparently drained by Lie at some point in the past. Consequently, Keiya hates Lie. Keiya’s story mode is unique in that during the trailer sequences he receives letters asking for advice. These letters are sent by the individual Keiya will fight in the next episode, each letter is often a reflection on the character that sent it. For example Gally asks how he can hide his drinking from his wife while Kakurine’s letter has no return address or postage and simply states how much she wishes to kill Ihadurca. Midori Himeno is a passionate martial artist who is next in line to inherit he.
