"Battle Arena Toshinden Ultimate Revenge Attack," often abbreviated as Toshinden URA, is a lesser-known installment in the Battle Arena Toshinden fighting game series, specifically developed for the Sega Saturn. Unlike its predecessors, which were available on multiple platforms, Toshinden URA was designed exclusively for the Sega Saturn as an attempt to leverage the console's capabilities and provide a unique experience. The game retains the series' hallmark of 3D arena-style dueling but is essentially a reimagined version of "Battle Arena Toshinden 2," featuring new characters and a modified fighting engine, thought to better suit the Saturn's hardware strengths.
Gameplay in Toshinden URA is centered around one-on-one battles, featuring a roster that includes both returning characters and new faces unique to this title. Enhanced by the Saturn's processing power, the game's graphics show a marked improvement over earlier versions on other platforms. A notable gameplay feature is the inclusion of "Revenge Attacks," which allow players to execute powerful counter moves, adding a strategic depth to the classic Toshinden formula. The mechanics also involve weapon-based combat, dodging, and a variety of special moves that can be executed in various 3D battle arenas. Despite being exclusive to the Sega Saturn, Toshinden URA did not achieve the same level of commercial success as its mainline entries, largely due to stiff competition in the fighting game genre during that era. Nevertheless, it holds a unique place in video game history as part of the Battle Arena Toshinden series, known for pioneering aspects of 3D combat in video games.
