Hokuto no Ken Online (北斗の拳 ONLINE) was an MMORPG produced by GungHo Online Entertainment. The game was set in the post-apocalyptic world of the Hokuto no Ken franchise as players fight to survive. There are several character classes to choose from, including a Hokuto Shin Ken follower, a Nanto Sei Ken student. Characters from the manga appear in the game as well, allowing players to challenge them. The combat system utilizes a unique control system which recognizes mouse gestures as inputs.
The game was first announced by GungHo in a press release on June 29, 2005, with a teaser site launched on October 27, 2006. The game underwent numerous periods of both, private and public beta testing before the general public servers were opened on July 24, 2008. An expansion was launched on March 26, 2009 titled Hokuto no Ken Online Heroes (北斗の拳ONLINE HEROES), which introduced various gameplay refinements, most notably a Hero System that allowed random players the option to control major characters from the manga in place of their own avatar.
However, due to negative reviews the game never maintained a solid userbase and the official servers were discontinued on September 30, 2009.
