Fighter's Island: Destiny

Fighter's Island: Destiny is a crossover fighting game published and developed by Ultima Games. It is the fifth mainline entry in the Fighter's Island series. Having been announced two months after the last balance patch for Fighter's Island: Champion of the Sphere released, it was released on February 2023 for the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.

Gameplay
Much like the previous two entries, Fighter's Island: Destiny utilizes 3-D graphics in a 2.5-D plane. The traditional 6-button layout is used, but in a surprising twist, the gameplay is taken from not a Street Fighter title, but from Ultima Games's Heavy Hitters 3. Focus Attacks, a mechanic in both the Street Fighter and Heavy Hitters series, returns here, but also added is EX Mode, which functions similarly to MAX Mode from the King of Fighters series. The super gauge system is taken from Heavy Hitters 3 as well, where each character has at least three super moves (two Level 1s and one Level 3). The Level 1 supers normally cost one bar of meter to perform, but can be enhanced by pressing two punch or kick buttons at the cost of an additional bar. When in EX mode, the enhanced super is used automatically.

Similar to the last Fighter's Island, this game contains a story mode, but it is very different. Players take control of director Josh Garriga's new OC Kim, a faun from another realm who prefers to covort with humankind, to save the multiverse from a powerful time mage in an open world perspective, similar to games like Jump Force and Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2. The main hub-world is Fighter's Island, where a temporal device similar to Crash Bandicoot Warped's Time Twister is held, though players can travel off the Island to Nerseytown, which serves as a hub for shopping for various needs, including eating food, buying upgrades, and conversing with the townsfolk, similar to the Yakuza and Judgement series.
