Reikai Doushi

About

Reikai Doushi pits exorcist priests against supernatural foes in a no-holds-barred brawler. Players trade blows in one-on-one matches, chaining attacks with punches, kicks, and acrobatic grapples. The action stays tight with quick movement and combo-friendly mechanics. Each fighter has a distinct look and move set, blending martial arts with mystical flair. Released in 1988, the game used digitized sprites and motion capture for smooth, lifelike animations, uncommon for its time. Claymation gave characters a handcrafted, stop-motion aesthetic that still feels offbeat. Though overshadowed by later fighters, it holds a cult reputation for technical daring. Home Data’s arcade entry remains a curiosity for those digging into early 3D-style combat experiments.
