'Fist Of The North Star' coming to Europe

Tecmo Koei Europe has announced that free roaming beat-em-up Fist Of The North Star will get a European release later this year.

The game, which is due to be released in Japan later this month, is a spinoff of Koei's Dynasty Warriors series.

Based on the manga of the same name, players will control Kenshiro as he battles rival martial artists and gangs in a post nuclear world.

Players will be able to destroy environments, as well have access to a number of finishing moves that can "wipe out entire gangs in one blow, or cause single enemies to explode in a shower of gore".

The game will also feature a number of bonus characters, all of whom will have their own scenarios and storylines.

The game is due to be released on the PS3 and Xbox 360 this summer.
