Overview - How it works

Tekken Revolution is built around a coins (credits) setup. Think of it like putting a quarter into an arcade machine to play, the concept is much the same. The game starts you off with a few credits that you can use to play arcade mode or online, doing so costing you one credit each.



You can unlock credits by winning online matches, beating arcade mode and as more time passes, more credits unlock automatically as well. You can purchase premium coins if you want to pony up some cash, and don't want to wait for more to become available.



The game is very similar to Tekken Tag Tournament 2 in how it plays, its modes and most everything else. It's basically a stripped down TTT2, but that's not necessarily a bad thing, as it's a free title, and there's a good amount of fun and time that can be spent here without spending a dime of your own money, if you so choose.

Coins, tickets and premium coins

• New coins appear after a certain amount of time — regardless if you're online or offline, so you can shut down your PS3 without worry and come back to a fresh amount of coins to use.



• Arcade Coins allow you to play arcade mode, you can have a max of 2 at one time, and a new coin comes up every 60 minutes.



• Battle Coins allow you to play the online ranked and player match modes. You can have a max of 5, and a new one comes up automatically every 30 minutes.



• Premium Tickets are awarded to you by accomplishing various feats, like beating arcade mode and such. You can use a premium ticket to play arcade or ranked mode if you're out of coins.



• You can hold a max of 999 Premium Tickets, and if you use one to play an online match, and you win that match, you'll earn another Premium Ticket as a prize. If you lose that online match, you'll gain more XP than you otherwise would have.



• Premium Coins work the same way as Premium Tickets, except you have to purchase these. Here's the pricing structure, all in USD.

- 4 for 99 cents.

- 10 for $1.99.

- 30 for $4.99.





Online play and more

• The net code is really good. It feels like the same net code that they used in TTT2, so matches are smooth and fun.



• When waiting for a Ranked Match the game puts you into a training mode automatically while you wait.



• A player dropped (disconnected) on me during our match, but I was still awarded with XP, although it still cost me my coin/ticket, just like if the match had been completed.



• Namco Bandai is also running events for Tekken Revolution, where they reward players with double the amount of XP, bonus tickets and quite a bit more. When you start the game, you should be notified of any major developments.
