Daraku Tenshi (堕落天使), also known as The Fallen Angels, is a fighting game developed in 1998 by the Steel Hearts team and published by Psikyo. It is a 2D fighting game with pre-rendered graphics that takes a realistic approach in its gameplay, with movement similar to 3D fighting games such as Virtua Fighter or Tekken. The game features eight playable characters and two boss hidden characters (not playable without cheatcodes).

Story

"The earthquake that struck the city at 7:13 a.m. on February 10, 2000, measured 7 on the Richter scale. The veneer of peace that had been maintained in the city's streets by total information control suddenly vanished, and the computer-controlled concrete jungle stopped functioning.

A major shift in the Earth's crust had severed the city from its surrounding landform, leaving it an island with virtually no outside contact. Money-crazed inhabitants soon lashed out for the city's remaining but useless vestiges of power, preaching salvation while hiding their wicked motives.

Sex, crime and drugs ruled the streets, as the city began to decay. Ironically, they called the wretched remains of their city Eden, The Last Paradise.

It is now a decade later. The year is 2010."

Although the game is finished, the final version has a lot of the content cut out, resulting in a lot of missing information regarding the story and character backgrounds.

-Pros: Absurd combos off of anything, quick moves, many of which are safe, fantastic anti-air, and gets in the red at a decent rate.  The Zantetsu of Daraku Tenshi; he’s just way too damn solid.
+''Sex, crime and drugs ruled the streets, as the city began to decay.
+''Ironically, they called the wretched remains of their city'' '''''Eden, The Last Paradise.'''''
+''It is now a decade later. The year is 2010."
-Cons: His reeling hitbox is screwy and REALLY huge since he kicks his leg up, so some combos work on him and no one else.  I.e. Torao’s f+HP, HP, LK, HK.

-Pros: very damaging combos, potential insta-kill, surprisingly nimble, can zip across the screen with most moves, Massacre Trumpet is great for messing with the opponent and eats up projectiles, crazy pressure game in the right hands.  Great anti-air once you get used to it.
-Cons: Most of his methods of getting in require taking risks, a lot of his moves have long recovery times, doesn’t hit the red until he’s got almost no health left.
-Past that, nothing much is definitive, since so much depends on the matchup.
-Upper tier
-Torao Onigawara
-Pros: great normal chains that do good damage and have nice setups, flying kick is great for stuffing things and also a pre-emptive anti-air, touch of death super does awesome damage and comes out in about ½ frame.
-Cons: on the slow side, rather linear, poor recovery.
-Taro
-Pros: great damage, fantastic rekka kens which does good chip damage and isn’t as unsafe as it looks.  Lots of moves have high priority from a distance.  Great A -> D -> D normal chain.
-Cons: sloooow.  Most moves, even rekka kens, can be a gamble.  Lack of a quick move (even his A is slow) means poor defensive game.  Middling anti-air.
-Yurian
-Pros: ABSOLUTELY CRAZY range and speed on her command throw.  Can punish anything, even things in the middle of guard chains.  Drop kick and running grab can be used on whiffed anything.
-Cons: charge motions are awkward for a grappler.  Terrible offensive game.  Worst supers in fighting game history.
-Middle tier:
-Harry
-Pros: Can do some crazy damage with rockets.  One full-rocket super can turn an entire match around.  Command throw with good damage and a decent anti-air.
-Cons: He’s a grappler: big and clunky.  Once his rockets are gone, so is his offensive game.
-Yurien
-Pros: Fairly speedy, easy learning curve.
-Cons: very, very simple.  Spend five minutes with her and you’ll have seen everything she’s got.  Dash punch, tiger knee, and flip kick, that’s it.
-Bottom tier:
-Cool
-Pros: some fairly high-priority moves.
-Cons: crap damage, impossible-to-perform supers which are near useless, slow, projectile is laughable.
