Ichiban

Ichiban is a pixel-art arena brawler set on a circular stone courtyard beneath a red torii gate, ringed by rope posts and falling cherry blossom petals. You play Ichiban, a wind-element fighter, standing against dark-clad brawlers who close in from the edges of the arena.

Movement uses an on-screen D-pad, with a toggle to switch to a stick if you prefer. Tap ATK three times to chain a combo, sweeping out wide crescent slashes, or use GUARD, DODGE, and a WIND ability to control the fight. A teal wind swirl marks your element on the stone beneath you.

Track your health and segmented energy bars at the top of the screen, and push through the waves, starting at Wave 1 of 5. A short on-screen tutorial walks you through moving and comboing so you can jump straight in.
