Tekken: Every Game Ranked From Worst To Best
13. Tekken Revolution
Tekken Revolution is the forgotten entry in the series, released between Tekken Tag Tournament 2 and Tekken 7. But with a franchise as popular as Tekken, why has this title been so overlooked?
Well, let's start with the positives.
Revolution had some major improvements from its predecessors. The Bound System, a feature that extended juggling during combos, was reduced and was a welcome change for those who weren't too fond of the system. The game also improved on the character models after most of the cast looked drastically off-putting during Tekken Tag Tournament 2.
But despite these, a lot of fans were turned off by Tekken Revolution due to its free-to-play model, which went against the very reason why people play fighting games on the console. Players buy home console fighting games for convenience, but with Revolution's F2P model, we were essential back at the arcade, having to pay to continue playing.
The game also had an emphasis on stats, encouraging players to grind their characters to become more powerful. The result led to balanced matches between players who could perform damaging moves, versus beginners who did not have time to grind their fighter just yet, all-round creating another imbalance.
