A synopsis for Baki Hanma: Blood Arena, which was released last month, reads:
Dive into the brutal world of Baki Hanma: Blood Arena, a thrilling 2D action game inspired by the hit Netflix anime Baki. With gameplay reminiscent of the classic Super Punch-Out!!, the game blends precision, timing, and shonen-style flair for an intense combat experience.
Special moves, dodges, smooth 60 frames-per-second animation... Purple Play delivers a remarkably faithful and exhilarating adaptation of the iconic work originally imagined in the early 1990s by famed mangaka Keisuke Itagaki.
