Meanwhile, King gets even burlier in his Heat State.
In Heat State, every one of his attacks that uses the nunchakus will do more damage. For instance, Marshall Law utilizes nunchakus in his latest appearance. Perhaps just as important is that while in Heat State, your character unlocks special moves, qualities, and buffs that are specific to whatever character you choose. This only uses one Heat Energy stock, so you can stay in Heat State if you do it and even use your Heat Smash if you want to. You can also do a Heat Dash off certain attacks, which is essentially a dash cancel that puts you in arm’s reach of your opponent to continue your assault whether they block or not. However, it also ends your Heat State immediately, using both Heat Energy stocks. It’s a highly advantageous attack that will do big damage if unblocked. Source: Bandai Namcoįrom there, you can do a few things. A successful Heat Burst provides one Heat Energy stock while a successful Heat Engager gives you two stocks. It’s also worth noting that each of these provide you with Heat Energy stocks in Heat State. There are also a multitude of unique new moves and combos for every character called Heat Engagers that will activate Heat State if you hit an unblocking opponent with the attack. You can activate Heat State with the press of a button to do a Heat Burst, delivering an attack to your opponent while entering Heat State. The Heat System is, at its core, a gauge that allows for an empowered state when you activate it for a limited time. The Heat System more than makes up for it. However, Rage Drive has been done away with completely, and there’s a good reason. Lower health means bigger Rage Art damage. Once your health is low enough, you can bust out a trump card move with the press of a button, doing big damage that increases based on the life you have left. Rage is still here, but only with Rage Arts. “Aggression” is a keyword Katsuhiro Harada and the rest of the Tekken devs have been stressing around frequently as a core pillar of the game, and now I see why. The Heat System is at the core of the most important changes to Tekken 8’s battle system. Simply put, the new Heat System is a game-changer and the way we approach offense and mind games in Tekken is about to truly evolve into something spectacular. However, I couldn’t have guessed just how different this game would be when I sat down to play an early build. I knew Tekken 8 was going to be quite a step forward for Bandai Namco when they announced they were switching to Unreal Engine 5 to build the new game from the ground up. Case in point: the Tekken franchise has gone through all sorts of evolutions over the years, from the tag-teaming of Tekken Tag Tournament to the Rage System first introduced in Tekken 6. It’s not often I can call to mind a game that reinvents itself successfully while keeping the core of the franchise perfectly intact.
