Gameplay
editTekken Mobile is a touch based fighting game that incorporates gacha elements. The gameplay and characters are updated from Tekken 7.[2] Players select characters to place on a team and face off against a team of opposing characters. The objective is to defeat the opponent by using a collection of "Waza Cards" (a total of nine in one deck), which makes their character use a certain attack depending on the card's color. Each character has an elemental affinity that consists of either earth, fire, water, or lightning. The affinities give either an advantage or disadvantage depending on the matchup.
Players can upgrade their fighters by getting special fragments (common, to rare) which are bought in premium or epic packs using real money.

Cancellation
editThe game's servers were abruptly switched off on February 15, 2019, making it no longer playable. Possible reasons for the cancellation was the negative reception of the game's expensive prices, and lack of revenue on the game's part. As a result, the upcoming new character named Taekwondo Girl did not see a release. Fans gave her the name Shuwawei, but is not an official name.
Kazumi Mishima was also planned, but didn't make it into the game before it was canceled.
