Do you enjoy Namco Bandai's Tekken series? Are you a fan of bowling? If the answer is yes to both of the previous questions, check out the latest Namco Bandai iOS game called Tekken Bowl.
The game combines Tekken scenery and characters into a bowling game, and has been released as a universal app. The game appears to have been inspired by a mode that was present in a Playstation 2 game called Tekken Tag Tournament. There was a bowling mini-game in that game that was also called "Tekken Bowl."
This iOS offering revolves around being able to pick from only three Tekken characters. They are: Xiaoyu, Jin, and Panda. There are also multiple game modes that includes a regular bowling style of gameplay, and a puzzle gameplay mode. The puzzle mode is based on physics platforming, according to the app description.
What is interesting is how different it is from the Tekken series of titles on other platforms; and how it has been released as a free app. Is Namco Bandai testing the waters to see if iOS gamers are interested in the Tekken franchise?
If you enjoy bowling games, physics platformers, or want to support Namco Bandai Games' Tekken franchise, then grab Tekken Bowl.
It is currently free and a universal app on the App Store.
