The story so far: a mysterious weapon has been found in the remains of an old German castle. This weapon, known as EHRGEIZ, is awarded each year to the winner of a tournament set up to establish the greatest fighter in the world. Now a sinister consortium wants to use it for its own nefarious purposes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sixteen characters include six from Final Fantasy, with favourites such as Cloud and Sephiroth guesting alongside the game's very own Godhand and Wolf Girl Jo. With play in three Arcade modes and a Quest option for stand-alone RPG gaming, you will fight in 12 different arenas to win the ultimate weapon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the superb CG movie opening sequence to the four mini-games, the graphics and the freedom of the fighting action will blow you away. So much more than a fight game, Ehrgeiz blasts down the genre barriers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEhrgeiz: God Bless the Ring is an arcade-style fighting game from the makers of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mobygames.com\/search\/?q=Tobal\"\u003e Tobal\u003c\/a\u003e.

Charismatic fighters from around the world compete in a tournament for a mysterious sword as the prize. In addition to your archetypes of kick boxers, wrestlers, and mixed martial artists there are also animal type fighters, homing missiles, characters with swords, and many other attacks that shake things up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fighting system is based on attack height (much like Bushido Blade) - with the triangle, square, and x buttons corresponding to high, mid, and low attacks respectively. There are also different buttons for low and high guard - both working against mid-level attacks but specific to high and low attacks. The circle button is used for 'special' attacks, which drain the 'special' bar. There is a button to jump, as well as a button that changes between 'locking' on the target to move or free running.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe standard balance in fighting games is speed vs. damage. Whether it be ranged or melee attacks, the 'damage per second' should be the same - as every character has an equal health bar. Ehrgeiz is a very balanced game, despite the complexity presented by how fundamentally different most characters are.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vast differences between certain characters require the player to devise separate strategies for different opponents. The animal type opponents, for example, can only be hit with roughly half the attacks of the normal opponents - head kicks, many long range attacks, and most throws will hit empty air, especially since animal characters can 'duck' even lower to the ground. Fighting a gun wielding character will result in a battle where you must chase and pin down. Fighting Cloud or Sephiroth will require both constant pressure and vigilance against being thrown to ensure that they are not able to unsheathe their sword and finish the fight in a few blows. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe game features unlock-able costumes and characters, as well as 'ending videos'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \"Brand New Quest\" feature is a dungeon delver that uses the fighting game engine along with randomly generated dungeon layouts to create a 25 level dungeon with set bosses. It borrows the magic and equipment system from the Final Fantasy games, you will collect materia and magic stones, as well as a full range of visibly different weapons and armour. This game puts strong emphasis on food (like the early Ultima series). Not only will you have to eat, but you will have to be conscious of what you are eating - your diet affects how your stats change at level up. Eat meat for strength, minerals for dexterity, carbs for speed, lipids for defence, and vitamins for magical ability. Standing still allows your depleting 'stomach' meter to fill your health. If your hunger meter reaches 'zero', however, it will start draining your health. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are two playable characters, and the game can be played with both characters or with only one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e*** Data by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mobygames.com\/\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMobyGames.com\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e ***\u003c\/h3\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstyle\u003e.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }\u003c\/style\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"embed-container\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/W7JuZna4Wrg\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width, minimum-scale=0.1\"\u003e\u003ctitle\u003e19e4b8a8-c26c-11ed-ab6b-02420a000194.webp\u003c\/title\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block;-webkit-user-select: none;margin: auto;background-color: hsl(0, 0%, 90%);transition: background-color 300ms;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mobygames.com\/promos\/1681136-ehrgeiz-god-bless-the-ring-logo.png\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e☼\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e× Some Disclaimers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  × Video games are pre-owned unless otherwise specified\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  × Disc-based video games come with their case and cover art unless otherwise specified\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e         × PS1 Games May Not Have Their Front Cover Art\/Instruction Manual\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  × Cartridge-based video games come with just the cartridge unless otherwise specified\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  × CD \u0026amp; DVD based discs are resurfaced before we put them out for sale\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  × Pre-Owned games may have stickers or marks on them or their cases, either price tags from us or other stickers\/markings from other stores or owners.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Games A Plunder","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45233685561505,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0493\/4841\/1553\/files\/3371461-ehrgeiz-god-bless-the-ring-psp-front-cover.jpg?v=1761152636","url":"https:\/\/gamesaplunder.com\/products\/ehrgeiz-god-bless-the-ring-ps3","provider":"Games A Plunder","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
