Fighting Meister

Fighting Meister is a fighting game for Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One and Windows platforms. It highlights the story of Reiji Akiba, a martial artist whose goal is to encounter his missing elder brother, Kintaro. The Syndicate, directed by The General, is responsible for the in-game tournament. The mid-bosses are only playable during the VS. mode, rendering the Final Bosses the only ones unplayable by any means (save for hacking/cheat codes).
