    When it comes to fighting games, I tend to usually enjoy my time with them despite not being too good at them. I play them and I have fun, that’s that. I am also someone who likes to play niche games that no one has really touched. Arcana Heart 3 Love Max Sisters EXTND (Arcana Heart 3), is one of those games that has not gotten too much attention out there and I sure enough decided to go check it out. I should note …

    Developed by ex-SNK devs and published by Arc Sys, so it has a solid fighting pedigree. So why isn't this game more popular? Because the roster is composed entirely of waifus and lolis. pros: -excellent sprites -buttery smooth gameplay -some of the dialogue is legit hilarious -good amount of single-player content -good sized roster, and each character has a rich moveset -arcanas (creatures/animals/whatever you pair …

    As a life-long lover of (almost) all fighters, I consider this game to be in the top 3 of all time next to Samurai Shodown V and Street Fighter IV. Amazing mechanics and insanely deep. The ability to choose a different Arcana for each character gives this nearly infinite characters and replay-ability. 10/10 - Perfect

    It stills a good game, but is worse than the previous version, no "anime link" in battles, trial mode has been removed and the new characters hasn't story mode for now... I hope new updates will fix this.

    Normally I would recommend this one, but they took too much away from this version. Ps3 would be the one to get if you have the option. Homing system is great and I wish more fighting games had it. At the time of this review though they've removed the side panel animations from normal gameplay (still viewable in a gallery), a gimmicky but fun boss where you could destroy some orbs in the story mode (not sure if it was ever in the pc/6stars version), and Trial mode with specific missions for all…

    what happened to this game is absolute tragedy. Its one of the most unique and interesting anime fighters to ever exist. Quality wise its also up there with BBCF as one of the best FGs I have ever played. If only this game could get a revival with rollback as well ;(

    No arcade mode = no thumbs up The description on Steam even acknowledges that this started out as an arcade game, meaning they went out of their way to intentionally remove it. The only single player content outside of story mode is playing random 1v1 matches against the CPU, with the menu time between fights being about half the time an actual fight takes. At least Killer Instinct gives you the option to continually fight random CPU opponents until you lose or have had enough. As a filthy…

    The core gameplay of arcana heart 3 is solid, but I can't recommend this purchase as a full product. Netcode is the worst I've ever experienced. I can deal with delay based most of the time since I play with people in my city, but online is completely unplayable even between me and a friend 10 miles away. The most recent update added 2 characters, but completely removed the trial mode from the game. I could have dealt with the bad netcode if I could learn the game somewhat in trial mode, but…

    Warning: The netcode is delay based and current population of regulars is maybe 10 people max (including myself) who are pretty chill but kinda insular, who also happen to have solid connections with each other (mostly). The patch notes for Xtend are available, but the Mizuumi section for Xtend is largely barren. The game is also apparently tied to your monitor refresh and needs to be capped through external methods. The training is lackluster and does not not natively have a input display.…

    I am of the firm and genuine belief that this is the worst piece of media ever devised by mankind. Ever since I have learned about Arcana Heart 3 LOVEMAX SIXSTARS!!!!!! XTEND my nights have been restless to see the least. Humanity's depravity has never been more apparent to me than it is now, and I pray that whatever higher being there is that exists in universe is not merciful to this lowly species. Within the next few days after all my affairs have been settled, I will be killing myself.

I didn't even realize there was a 3, let alone a 2 for this series. I've played a ton of fighters in my days. And I have a good list of ones I love...and also those that will be forgotten. Lately a lot of fighters are bleeding into the same. If you can play something like Guilty Gear or Melty Blood, you can pretty much…

    I want to love this game cause it is a great fighter with some of the most interesting mechanics ever seen. But there is something wrong with this games engine when it comes to parsing inputs that is unlike any other fighter I've ever played. The parser seems to lag or delay recognising motion inputs, and it's not just the input delay in the game. This renders special moves to feel just completely jank at times to do and makes the game extremely unenjoyable. You could get use to it and many…

Being newer, AH3LMSSX is an update to AH3LM with a few more additional characters available for purchase through DLC (save for one), new stages (meh), and balance updates. My dilemma, however, is primarily due to the fact that AH3LMSSX removed certain aspects of the game which I think are non-trivial to the overall experience. For…

There's definitely a bit to remember with the buttons (especially if you're a keyboard player going from menus to game play after rebinding to whatever you feel comfy with) but when you get a good feel for your character the sky is the limit with what movement options this fighter gives.

    This is the best fighting game you've never played, and after 17 years it finally has rollback with a mod that is linked in the discussion forum. If damage feels low, that's because you haven't learned your combo routes yet. If movement feels slow, that's because you haven't learned how to zoom zoom yet.

    Game requires a surprising amount of braincells for what looks like a goofy anime fighter. The arcana system is a huge knowledge check by itself, almost as if the moon system from MBAACC were a page of separate perks that you could select to augment a character. Each of the characters also has the variety/complexity to rival Blazblue or Guilty Gear, so when you combine the two it becomes a very complicated game. Unfortunately there are a lot of bugs as a downside of that complexity. And the…

I'm just having fun laughing at all the ridiculous characters, like the girl with the sword that's too heavy for her but she hits like a truck. Or the girl riding the slime and does Potemkin busters. Or the witch girl who tries desperately to handle her angry living staff that she fights with. Oh and the game is just hella fun to play.
