Ehrgeiz - God Bless the Ring

Developer: DreamFactory (published by Squaresoft)

Ehrgeiz: God Bless the Ring throws players into frantic 3D arena battles on the PS1, blending arcade-style fighting with crunchy combos, stage hazards and roster quirks — including guest characters from Final Fantasy VII. Matches emphasize positioning, timing and ring-outs rather than long combo chains, while the game's Adventure mode adds dungeon exploration, item management and boss encounters for a different, slower-paced challenge. Its arcade roots and local multiplayer make it a nostalgic pick for fans of late-90s fighters: fast-paced rounds, memorable stages and an oddly charming hybrid of fighting and light RPG progression.
