The smartphone game "Fist of the North Star LEGENDS ReVIVE" is now available! An RPG that traces the memories of fighters in an era when "Hokuto Shinken" has ceased to exist.

Sega Games announced "Fist of the North Star LEGENDS ReVIVE," a new smartphone game app based on the legendary "Fist of the North Star" comic book, which has sold over 100 million copies in total and has been available since Thursday, September 5.

Fist of the North Star LEGENDS ReVIVE" (hereafter "Hokuto Revive") is an RPG that recreates the story of the comic "Fist of the North Star" (original story by Takeru Takemono, manga by Tetsuo Hara), which celebrated its 35th anniversary in 2018, in a large volume. The game takes place in an era when the history of the "Hokuto Shinken" tradition was cut off. The player, guided by the will of the Hokuto, meets powerful enemies and collects their memories in order to become a new successor of the Hokuto Shinken.

In addition to the fateful story of reviving the Hokuto (Legends) in the new era, the intuitive and exhilarating tap combo actions that can be performed with a single tap of the finger will further enliven the heated battles.

Exhilarating tap combo action at your fingertips

In Hokuto Revive, players form teams of up to six fighters (three in the front and three in the back).

There are three types of fighters: power type, technique type, and body type, and the key to forming a team is to arrange them in a way that makes the most of their characteristics.

<Kenshi Types
Strength Type
Although their HP and defense are low, fists have excellent offensive power. They can reduce damage by being placed in the rear guard.
Technique Type
A fist fighter with a good balance of HP, attack power, and defense. He can be used in either the vanguard or the rear guard.
Body Type
A fist fighter with excellent defense and HP. They can protect their allies by being organized in the vanguard as a shield.

In battle, select the character icon at the bottom of the screen to start the attack. Tap the "Big Dipper" light that appears during an attack to create exhilarating combos. The more combos you can connect, the more damage you can inflict on your opponent!

In addition, when you tap at the right moment when the last star of the Big Dipper, the symbol of the Big Dipper, shines, you will receive a rating of "Bad," "Normal," "Good," or "Excellent" depending on the timing of the timing of your tap. The higher the rating, the higher the attack power with a bonus.

In addition to normal attacks, fighters also possess three types of "skills": passive skills, special attacks, and inner attacks. Depending on the timing of their use, these "skills" can drastically change the course of a battle.
The special kills and special moves are based on the original storyline, and are must-see skills for fans.

<Skill Overview
Passive Skill
Passive skills are automatically activated with a certain probability during battle. Some skills increase a fighter's basic stats, such as attack and defense, while others have special effects, such as strengthening the fighter or allies in the party, or reviving the fighter with a certain probability even if he or she is disabled in battle.
Special Attacks
During battle, a fencer's normal attack changes to a special attack with a certain probability. It is more powerful than a normal attack, inflicts heavy damage on the opponent, and can even cause abnormal conditions.
The Inner Secrets
During battle, when a fighter's fighting spirit is at its maximum, he or she can invoke any of his or her special attacks at the beginning of his or her attack turn. Since Okugi has the power to completely change the battle situation, it is important to find the right moment to activate it.

Comment from Toshihiko Takamizawa (THE ALFEE)

--Toshihiko Takamizawa (THE ALFEE) commented on his cover of "Ai wo Torimodose! (Battle Starship Mix)" became the theme song for "Hokuto Revive. How did you feel when you got the offer?

I was very excited when we were offered the chance to cover Crystal King's famous song.
We arranged the song with a lot of chorus, which is one of our weapons, without losing the image of the original, and now it has become the most exciting song at live performances.

--What are some of your most memorable episodes from the original "Fist of the North Star"?

I had been reading it during the tour since the serialization started in 1983. It was just the year "Mary Ann" became a hit, so I remember it well. I think everyone does, but it was a comic that made me feel like Kenshiro and injected power into my body, and "Fist of the North Star" comics were more effective than any supplements in relieving fatigue.

--What is your message of support for Hokuto Revive?

Hokuto Revive" is probably the pinnacle of smartphone fighting games in terms of screen realism and beauty! I am looking forward to playing it again on tour.
