A multiplayer Fighting game based around arena combat, Spirit Tournament is a supernatural take on typical fighting games. The characters, as well as just martial techniques, will be armed with many special abilities, skills and powers utilizing the idea of a life force and spirit and such a an entity's energy within combat with one another. While it would be viewed from the typical side on, the arena would be fully traverseable in 3D space, not just a 2d backdrop to the combat, and will feature destruction mechanics as well as a disqualification based on a ring out timer. In essence, the arena will be able to be destroyed and will force players to be constantly mobile as they will not be able to stay within a damaged or destroyed section, or out of the arena at all for a long period of time, creating a fast pace of play. This would work very well for consoles, and possibly somewhat well for most PCs, and would focus on and attract a target audience who would be interested in fast paced fighting and supernatural elements.
