Actions– The primary actions of the user depend upon which input he chooses. Basically, the actions are jumping, hitting, ducking, moving forward, moving behind. User can walk around.
Gameplay– As the name suggests Budokan is a martial arts action game. In the start the player enters the courtyard. The player can practice four different forms of martial arts. He can either go to the Kendo dojo, in which he can practice fighting using a wooden sword. The second dojo is where the player can practice fighting using a Bo (staff). In the third dojo the players can practice using nunchaku (piercing chain weapons). In the last dojo the player can practice karate (unarmed combat). The player has to practice alone. Only once the player has finished practice, he can challenge the instructors in that particular dojo. Player get to choose between three instructors to challenge in each dojo. Player can fight friends or a bot. Once the player is ready, he can enter the martial arts championship at Budokan!
Experience– In the start before entering the courtyard, it says “Identify this family crest”, which to me personally seems that as if some family member has told crest(player) to make a name for his family, maybe even train and take some revenge for the family. Which to me seems like a huge responsibility. Crest has to with out fail train and become a martial arts champion. We enter the four dojos one by and practice solo to make our selves perfect for the championship, even if that means practicing till our stamina gets completely depleted. At times the instructors are kind, they won’t hit back if they notice we have paused to take a breather. There is great curiosity in the player, as to which fighting style, he wants to choose for himself or for his opponent. The pride in winning the competition is great, which means crest is finally a martial arts master and has made a name for his family which was his mission.
