Heaven's Gate [Arcade] - play as Unknown
This is a play-through using Unknown in the Arcade version of Heaven's Gate. Read on below for more information...
Unknown appears as the final boss for the characters that are of the Demon lineage and contrary to good in this game. She is an unlockable playable character.
===== About Unknown =====
She is an angel-type holy character with the power of light. When you fight against her, his boss background is Heaven.
Design-wise, she is a modern deity with elf-like ears. She can punch and kick like a martial artist.
Gameplay-wise, it appears that Angel has a mix of some of the regular character's moves. Her super move covers a large area and inflicts high energy depletion if it hits.
===== Additional Information =====
---- When you get to the final stage, her boss is Geezer.
---- On the character select screen, she shares her slot with Geezer. You may think that Unknown is Geezer's 2P costume, but it isn't. Both are separate characters who are completely different in gameplay.
---- The PS1 version of the game is known as Yusha: Heaven's Gate in Japan and Europe.
===== About Heaven's Gate =====
Heaven's Gate is developed by Racdym/Racjin and published by Atlus. It is both companie's first attempt at a 3D fighting game. The game was originally planned to run on Sega's Model 2 hardware, but was eventually developed on Sony's ZN-1 arcade system instead.
It is a neat little game, with a variety of interesting characters. The gameplay seems to be a bit clunky, and leans towards a more technical side. The game runs at 30fps.
Aesthetically-wise, there are some neat touches, such as each character having a unique name text font; a completely different portrait image for alternative outfits; and a "logo" or "symbol" for each character (you can see these behind the bio on the character select screen in a 1-player game; and on the credits screen).
