Tekken Mobile is an Android port of the classic Bandai Namco fighting game. Instead of simply mirroring the gameplay of the original, it offers a touch-based interface that incorporates gacha elements. While this might be a little different from what most long-time players are used to, it helps to bring this kind of fast-paced gameplay to a much smaller screen than Tekken was originally designed for.

Players assemble teams of skilled martial artists who are ready to enter into a potentially lethal tournament. Once they've put together a group of their favorites, the app will select a team of opposing characters that should match up well. Combat then proceeds by using a collection of Waza Cards instead of actually relying on directional pads and attack buttons to pummel an opponent into submission.

Each team has a deck of nine different Waza Cards. Every individual card is color-coded as to the type of power they have, which allows players to arrange them in certain ways to allow them to unleash devastating attacks. Certain characters like one power more than others.

A quick glance at the character select screen is all it takes to figure out which ones prefer earth, fire, water or electrical attacks. When you match the right card with a character, you'll receive a bonus as soon as you attack with it. Even though everything is done in a 2D landscape, the aftermath of these attacks still looks great.

Unfortunately, it seems that the official Tekken Mobile servers are down, which has caused problems for those trying to play online. That's unfortunate because network play is a big part of the fighting game experience.
