    Hokuto no Ken - Seikimatsu Kyūseishu Densetsu​ (北斗の拳 世紀末救世主伝説?) is a video game released for the PlayStation in Japan on October 26, 2000. It is a 3D action game published by Bandai and developed by Natsume. The game's main story mode which follows the plot of the manga as the player takes control of Kenshirō from the beginning of his journey to his final battle with Raoh. The game faithfully reproduce scenes from the manga, aside from a few deviations and omissions done for the convenience of gameplay. Almost all the voice actors from the TV series reprised their roles for the game, most notably Kaneto Shiozawa, who passed away a few months before the release of the game, making this Shiozawa's final performance as Rei in any Hokuto no Ken-related media.

    The first-print editions of the game came bundled with a post-card that gave owners of the game a chance to win a metallic bust of Jagi, which were given out to 500 people.

All of the lines spoken by the characters in each scene can by replaced by any line spoken by any character, regardless of the original context. This is one of the most popular features in the game and the official strategy guide has an entire section teaching readers how to create their own scenes.
    Battle for Conqueror (覇者決定戦, Hasha Ketteisen)
    A one-on-one battle mode that can be played with a second player. There are 14 selectable characters to choose from. Only Kenshiro is available at the start and the rest must be made available by defeating them in the Story Mode without using continues.

    Gameplay

    Real Time Abeshi System (リアルタイムあべしシステム)

When the player attacks a red enemy while the enemy is flashing, a series of button commands will be displayed on screen while the enemy taunts the player. If the player presses all seven buttons shown on-screen in the correct order before the enemy finishes his sentence, then the enemy's death cry will vary depending on the player's timing.

    Certain characters have access to alternate costumes by holding down the R1 button while selecting them (namely Kenshiro, Raoh, Toki, Jagi, Amiba, Rei, and Fudoh).
    Alternate scenes
    There are alternate scenes in the story that will be triggered if the player fulfills certain requirements. The player is required to play through them in addition to the regular scenes in order to view all the story sequences in Theater Mode.
    • In Chapter 1, if the player takes too long to defeat Spade during their first fight, Misumi will be killed by Spade and he will get away with it. The visit to Misumi's village will be skipped and this trigger a sequence where the player controls Bat, who must infiltrate King's castle at Southern Cross in order to unlock the main entrance from the inside.
    • In Chapter 4, if the player loses the arm wrestling match with Gyūki, then Ken will face Habu and Gyūki for the first battle instead of the Dummy Hunting Squad.
    • In Chapter 5, if the player takes too long to defeat Seeker, then the battle with Dekai Babaa will be skipped.
    • In Chapter 6, during the second sewer fight, there's a huge door with the Holy Emperor's emblem on it. If the player destroys the door, then Ken will enter into a third sewer segment where all the enemies are red enemies.
    Unlock additional dialogue in Theater Mode
    If the player completes each chapter without getting a Game Over, then new lines of dialogue will become available to edit in Theater Mode. These lines mostly consists of pre-battle banter and death cries of enemies.
