Shaman King: Spirit of Shamans is an action fighting game released exclusively in Japan for the PlayStation in 2002. Developed by Dimps and published by Bandai, the game covers the first half of the 2001 anime series. You can choose from various characters in the roster and engage in 2D combat, using a unique system where you harness “Shaman Souls” to assist you in battle.
How to Play
Your objective is to defeat opponents in one-on-one combat to progress through the story modes or unlock additional characters. Since this is an imported Japanese release, menus and dialogue will be in Japanese, but the core fighting mechanics are easy to pick up.
- Movement: Arrow Keys (D-pad)
- Cross / Circle: Z / X
- Square / Triangle: A / S
- Start / Select: Enter / Shift
- Shoulder Buttons (L/R): Q, W, E, R
Tips
- Experiment with different characters to find which Shaman Soul combinations best fit your fighting style.
- Because the menus are in Japanese, use trial and error on the main menu to find the arcade and versus modes if you want to skip the story dialogues.
