Its story mode is highly detailed and includes several What if... scenarios that are unlocked by performing specific actions during the main missions. Some of these What if events are particularly memorable.

For those unfamiliar with previous Tenkaichi games, battles take place in 3D arenas with complete freedom of movement, where players must defeat their opponents using melee combos and special techniques.
