Is Hiryuu no Ken III - 5 Nin no Dragon still worth playing in 2026?
A third entry in the Hiryuu no Ken series from Culture Brain, this title offers five fighters with distinct styles in an adventure blending exploration and duels with the icon based aiming system. The expanded roster and the style variations enrich the formula, which stays singular in the era's fighting game landscape. Left in Japan, the title demands the language. For a fan of retro action RPGs or of the Flying Warriors series, the title keeps an atypical mechanic and an appreciable variety, in the continuity of its elders.
