Overview
Tekken Revolution is a free-to-play fighting game developed and released by Namco Bandai for the PlayStation 3 (via PlayStation Network) on June 11, 2013. Based on Tekken Tag Tournament 2, Tekken Revolution features only the series's core game modes (a basic offline Arcade Mode and online matches, both ranked and unranked) and a basic character roster (in which each character can be enhanced by earned skill points).
As a free-to-play game, the game focuses on microtransactions by requiring players to purchase (or wait for) access to either game modes. Players have two Arcade Coins (refilled every hour) that can be used for Arcade Mode and five Battle Coins (refilled every half-hour) that can be used for Online Modes. Players can also earn Premium Tickets from completing special tasks, which can be used in either game modes (and is given back to players who win an online match while using the Ticket). If players have no basic Coins or Tickets to spare, they can purchase Premium Coins in 4 (for $0.99), 10 (for $1.99), or 30 (for $4.99) increments, each of which can be used for any game mode.
