DESCRIPTION

This side-scrolling combat game has players taking the role of teenager Yoh Asakura, hero of the animated TV series on which it is based. Yoh is a shaman, gifted with the rare ability to sense and communicate with ghosts, and he'll make good use of this power as he fights his way through this adventure. His influence over the spirit world allows him to face enemies and overcome obstacles that a regular person could not. Yoh grows stronger as he progresses, gaining new and more effective abilities as he reaches certain in-game goals. Aside from the young Shaman King hopeful, many other familiar heroes and villains from the anime and comics are featured, along with new characters created specifically for the game. ~ T.J.
