It was later ported to the [[PlayStation (console)|PlayStation]] game console, being released in December 11, 1997; in 2009, it has been also made available as downloadable content in the [[Playstation Store]], for the [[PlayStation 3]] and the [[PlayStation Portable|PSP]]. Both the original arcade version and the PS version were released in [[Japan]] only, and the downloadable version for PS3 and PSP remains in [[Japanese language]]. ''Angel Eyes'' featured an all-female character roster, in the same way as other fighting games with all-female rosters like ''[[Variable Geo]]'', ''[[Pretty Fighter|Seifuku Densetsu Pretty Fighter]]'', ''[[Arcana Heart]]'' and ''[[Asuka 120%]]''. In a similar way to [[Capcom]]'s [[Justice Gakuen]] series, most of the characters were teenage students fighting for the honor of their school and to earn the right of becoming the ''Great Angel''. The game sported very high-quality, [[manga]]-styled character artwork, vigorous animation and attractive backgrounds. Contributing to the game's uniqueness, its visuals combined two-dimensional and three-dimensional graphics. ''Angel Eyes'' has remained mostly in obscurity in the West, due to not being released outside Japan. In Japan however, it gained a moderate success and following, and is still being used in tournaments there. ==Storyline== The game's storyline takes place in Japan. The substance of an angel from heaven was sent to Earth to incarnate in a human. However, there are eight girls holding the potential to become the host of the angel's substance. Therefore, who is worthy of inheriting the substance is to be she who proves herself the strongest in battle. ==Gameplay== ''Tōkidenshō Angel Eyes'' was as most fighting games of its day, a two dimensional and sprite based (althrough some of the characters were three-dimensional models, that interacted with the hand-drawn, sprite based characters in a two-dimensional environment), one-on-one fighting game, and the objective for the player was to advance by defeating the opponent by winning two rounds out of three in competitive matches. Following the traditional template of fighting games, the characters had at their disposal and arsenal of normal [[martial arts]] moves varied by the characters' posture, complemented by special moves endowed with additional power or abilities. The game also featured certain gameplay mechanics that although by today standards are commonplace, were rather unique and innovative back at the time of its release, such as a mid-air dash, mid-air suspension, mid-air chase capabilities, a homing jump, high jump, and a special ability trigger called Angel Synchro. ==Characters== The characters were designed following several typical [[anime]]-style stereotypes. Some of them attend the {{nihongo|Saintly Tehkan Academy|聖・テーカン学園|Hijiri Tēkan Gakuen|}}, named after Tecmo's former company name. They ranged from a hot-blooded schoolgirl to a [[kunai]]-wielding teenage [[kunoichi]]. The basic roster is as follows: *{{nihongo|'''Raiya Mikazuchi'''|御鎚 雷弥|[[Mikazuchi Raiya]]|}}: A hot-blooded, brawl-loving teenage schoolgirl.
