Wow...the game graphics remind me of battle arena toshiden, but the gameplay remind me of tekken...ya know...minus all the damn monsters and random characters.
@exedeath Considering the large number of monsters that each share the same fighting styles, it wouldn't take as long as you might think, especially since their fighting styles are so incredibly basic. There's really not much to them other than Mark/Ohma and the Psycho characters that are the exact same as their regular characters.
This game is INSANE! I wasn't a bit surprised when I learned it's made by the same team now known as "Access Games" AKA the developers of Deadly Premonition and Lord of Arcana.
I have complete the levels and eliminate all monster each level but most of the monsters i never once seen before.. And also how the hell you unlock those monsters?..
different pieces of a totem pole fighting each other?
and what about the worms in this video? i know it must be impossible for an average character to be able to fight a worm. I mean, you have to be sacrificing a portion of your moves just so you can attack low and hit him.
Aye, that's because Tobal 2 was a fighting game but also had a big quest/rpg mode added into it. That's why there's like a bazillion different characters and in such a great variety.
I used to own this game... somehow. Years ago when I got my PSX I got it modded from the day I bought it and for some reason an illegal copy of Tobal 2 came along with it.
It's really not as bad as people think it is, in fact, I think it was pretty damn awesome!
You're right. The main characters are all fine, but the monsters are where things can be tricky. Having a lizard trying to fight a flying wyvern for example might be hard to do. And in the case of the Totems, they're completely useless no matter what you do with them, they can hardly hit anything even when up close. Other monsters or human like NPCs have basic fighting styles, so they work alright. It can make for interesting fights sometimes, though.
Yes it was, they did the same thing to the EHRGEIZ fighting game by putting the main characters of FF7 Sephiroth and Cloud to make it appeal to RPG players
It should have up to 120 characters, each being completely different. New modes should include time attacl, survival, team battle, tag battle, watch mode, etc.
This is the one of the greatest games ever made. It blew my mind when I first played it, the art design ,music, number of characters , saving replays, custom colors, the most fluid fighting system ever, best training mode etc. I could write a book on it lol..
This game was developed by Dream Factory. Its staff at the time (I'm not sure about now) was made up of some people from sega and namco, so you had Virtua Fighter and Tekken people working on this game. But the only real involvement from Namco was for Ehrgeiz. It was also developed by Dream Factory, but was published in arcades by namco.
So many characters. When I had this game, I only had a few of the monsters. Those AI monsters killed me quickly. I always wondered why the monsters were very strong.
this game is no joke. Still one of the best games ive ever played. I play with green and have yet to beat it after all these years. How many ppl here underestimated that first gray goul in the first cave and was killed lol.
The amount of characters in this game is amazing compared to the original. Having owned the original, I found unlocking Robo Toriyama, a waste of time. Too short and too weak.
I also noticed that Dulahan from the original quest mode is now called Gorem. Which must be the Japanese translation to Golem.
I'm pretty sure "golem" is just misspelled. Also, the 'Gorem' characters were never in Tobal No 1. Dulahan had no head, while the Gorems just have flat heads. Sadly, they didn't bring Dulahan back for T2. >_>;
I'm with you psychowildchild. I've been trying to get this game for the longest, after seeing it in 1998 at our local game store. Man...I should have bought it anyway, eventhough you needed an emulator.
Friendly FYI: the purple mecha appearing at 4:10 & 16:40 blatantly resembles the titular robot of the 80's Japanese tv series animation "Aura Battler Dunbine." I seriously doubt it's a coincidence...
Yes. For the monsters you could also set it to have the AI take control if you don't have someone to play against, or if you just wanted to watch them go at it.
I can see with such varying character models, the main issue would have been character balance.
Assuming each character had a very distinct fighting style, there would be a bigger issue of balance in regaurds to range and damage done.
Compare it to say tekken 2 or tekken 3 which were out at around the same time, this was a slightly inferior 3 D fighter, though it looks like it was put together better than say Ehrgeiz.
In Tobal No.1, he was Toriyama Robo. But in Tobal 2, it's Trix. I also remember seeing him in Dr. Slump, and maybe even Dragonball. My friend tells me its supposed to be Akira Toriyama himself, just a robot version. I think just mainly for quick cameos, I dunno if he's shown up in his other projects.
About 200, including the starting characters, bosses, and other hidden characters that aren't even in quest mode (those are unlocked through other means in the game).
Man back then before when I had this game...it was difficult to play because I didn't even have a computer before,but now since im going to rebuy the game i'll have a faq in handy this time around.
if you look up Tobal 2 on gamefaqs, they have a guide on how to get monsters. But for me, I used a Gameshark because capturing them all is a hassle. :)
