BAYANI is the first fighter developed in the Philippines drawing heavily from its culture and mythology. Set in an alternate timeline from our own, there are numerous parallels and callbacks to historical figures and events from the country’s history. The title itself is the Filipino word for heroes, however, it also carries a deeper context wherein only those who are willing to suffer and sacrifice themselves for the good of the country are worthy to be called as such. Will you be the hero that the people need?

Designed for players of all levels, use special and super moves by pressing buttons rather than complex motions. Every match is fast paced with each character representing familiar fighting game archetypes such as a grappler or zoner. Discover combos & setups to overwhelm your opponent and defeat them with style using your fatal arts. Use EX specials to get extra damage and burst out of bad combos using your Breaker. Each character also has a unique Defensive Skill to get the upperhand! Go into the Training Mode to practice or fight it out in Arcade Mode. Aim for victory and become the BAYANI.

Story

In another part of the country, Oria stricken with grief at the execution of her husband, Dre, and his brother, strikes a deal with the witch, Tsora, to resurrect Dre using black magic and the cadavers of the brothers. The newly awakened Dre confused at his current situation escapes into the night searching for his killer.
