Me muddling through the menus (well, some of them...) and game modes in "Dark Awake: The King Has No Name" from the Japanese PSN store on PS3; in the States, it was an arcade fighting game known as "Chaos Breaker." It was developed by Eolith, the Korean outfit that had previously developed King of Fighters 2001 and 2002, and like them it is a 4-button, 3-on-3 fighting game--but it has a fantasy theme, and pre-rendered "3D" character sprites. You also get magic items you can use for various effects during matches.

I don't get very far through some of the menus because they're nearly all in Japanese. While curiously there is no just Vs battle option on the main menu, if you dig into the the options you find you can switch the main Arcade mode between three different styles: Elimination (the default), Single, and Tournament.

Time stamps:

0:22 - Dark Awake intro
1:29 - Practice mode
4:16 - Options
4:19 - (instruction manual)
6:09 - Ranking (leaderboards)
6:46 - Online Mode (didn't find a match : P)
7:15 - Arcade Mode: Elimination (as Nagar, Bernhard, Fina)
13:09 - mid cinematic
16:16 - vs Manticore, the easy mid boss
21:00 - Arcade Mode: Elimination (as Troll, Vritra, Sandra)
33:29 - Arcade Mode: Elimination (as Evetta, Ramda, Elion)
44:07 - Arcade Mode: Tournament (as Cursehead, Zon, Goblin; "Tournament" is pretty neat: the 3-person teams have the fighters pair up in order for 3 1-on-1 battles, then if there are survivors from both sides (ie, one side didn't lose all 3 matches), those survivors face off in 1-on-1 battles, with their health bars at the level they were in their previous match!)
55:30 - Arcade Mode: Single (as Nsidor (he rides a pale horse : o))
