Along with its companion release,
Sprinting Wolf,
Shaman King: Legacy Of Spirits -- Soaring Hawk is an
anime-based adventure featuring
Pokémon-style creature collection. In the role of the young Shaman
Yoh Asakura, players can discover and collect spirits as they explore the game's environments. These spirits can then be used in combat, against the various enemies and opponents
Yoh must face. Different foes have different strengths and weaknesses, so choosing the right spirit for the fight can be crucial to victory. The game features more than 1,000 different spirits in all, including some that were designed specifically for the games. Through a link-cable connection, spirits obtained in
Soaring Hawk can be traded for spirits collected in
Sprinting Wolf.
Sprinting Wolf and
Soaring Hawk are based on
Hiroyuki Takei's
Shaman King cartoon series, which is shown on
Fox in the United States.
