Bandai Namco has just announced the immediate availability of a new mobile game for both Android and iOS platforms.

Galaga: TEKKEN 20th Anniversary Edition is an old-school mobile game in the Tekken fighting game series. This time, however, Bandai Namco combines the characters in the Tekken series with the gameplay of Galaga, the company's popular classic arcade games.

The result is a classic arcade gameplay of Galaga with the added twist of Tekken characters that are entering the battle as spaceships battling enemy aliens.

The game also includes the Tag mechanic that's been so popular among Tekken players, which means that they will be able to call upon an additional character to the game board and double the damage player can deal against enemies.
