Developed_By:

SNK

Released On:

01 Jan 1996

Also available on:

Neo Geo

Kizuna Encounter is the sequel to Savage Reign and pits the masters of Fuun-Ken against each other in a fighting tournament. Fuun-Ken is a new martial art that blends hand-to-hand with ranged combat.

The gameplay involves selecting your characters and fighting all opponents in two-round fights for ultimate supremacy. The sequel removes the horizontal planes of the original, limiting ranged combat, but introduces tag-teaming to the gameplay mechanics. Instead of choosing one fighter, you select a team of two and can switch between each character mid-fight.

Story

Character Backstory

I don't know my parents' faces. I don't even know my real name.

She was picked up and raised by an anti-government organization, and since then, she has lived with her hands stained with a lot of blood.

Those who love her call her "Rosa." Those who oppose her call her "Crimson Panther" with lips darkened by fear.

When her comrades, whom she considers family and a part of her body, are captured by the Lion King, the "Crimson Panther" bares her fangs.
