Awwww man. I can't believe as a major fighting game lover I missed out on this. Going back and grabbing fighting games I missed. Started here with this one. RWBY, BlazBlue, Guilty Gear, Under Night ain-Birth and Persona all in one game? Holy smokes! What a cast of characters.
A 2v2 anime crossover fighting game developed by Arc System Works. It brings together characters from massive franchises, including BlazBlue, Persona 4 Arena, Under Night In-Birth, and Rooster Teeth’s RWBY.
Streamlines traditional, complex fighting game controls into an accessible, five-button layout, while maintaining deep tactical mechanics built around managing two characters simultaneously. As a Tekken, MK and SF player, wasn't hard to get used to. Then again I grew up on SNK fighting games as well.
Unlike traditional fighting games where you focus entirely on inputs, BBTAG is built entirely around maximizing team synergy.
* Casual players can easily string together flash attacks by repeatedly mashing either the Light (Y) or Heavy (X) attack buttons.
* By spending your Cross Gauge, both your active character and partner fight on screen at the exact same time. This lets you "sandwich" the opponent, making your attacks incredibly difficult to block.
* If one of your two characters is defeated, you can activate this power-up for your remaining fighter. It temporarily regenerates health, boosts damage, and increases your super meter. (Crazy clutch in deep long battles)
The Nintendo Switch edition features a comprehensive suite of single-player and multiplayer modes:
* Episode Mode: An original crossover story mode tracking the characters as they collide in a phantom dimension.
* Tactics Mode: An extensive tutorial system that teaches both universal combat mechanics and character-specific combos.
* Online Lobby: Connects you to public rooms where you can run around as a chibi avatar and challenge global players.
Definitely a fun game to pick up. Grabbed the other games Blazblue has to offer and Entropy that I'll be playing soon.
Consensus Score:
79/100 😏
