Touki Denshou Angel Eyes
Up in the heavens, eight angel sisters lived much like any sisters do: they
argued a lot. One day, a decree came down from on high. One… and only one…
of the sisters would be chosen to become an archangel, but it was up to them
to decide who it would be. It was decided that each of them would make a pact
with a warrior on Earth, through whom they would fight, and the winner of a
grand tournament would be chosen to become the new archangel.
Angel Eyes is a 2D versus fighting game featuring an all-female cast, which
plays much like contemporaries such as King of Fighters. A curious aspect of
the game is that four of the eight regular characters are hand-animated
sprites, while the other four are pre-rendered graphics as in Donkey Kong
Country or Rise of the Robots.
In addition to the standard Arcade and Versus modes, the PlayStation release
adds a dedicated Story mode for each character, plus a training mode. There
also numerous secret characters to unlock, including 2D-sprite versions of
some of the 3D characters, and the story mode bosses.
