Players find Million Arthur: Arcana Blood a fun, fast-paced anime fighting game with unique assist mechanics. [1][2][3] Some reviewers note the game has a small roster and requires joining Discord for matches due to low online activity. [1][4][5] Several players criticize the censorship of an assist character's animation and poor netcode. [6][7][8]

$40 for terrible netcode and censorship. Do not buy this if you plan to play it with friends online.

Before I start, I need to preface this with the fact that I think that MAAB is a great fighting game that I think all fighting game fans should check out. All the characters in the game feel unique and the massive selection of assists gives you a lot of choice on how you want to handle playing your character. (I personally think 13 playable characters is fine in this game, but everyone will feel different on roster …

+ Gameplay seems very balanced + Colorful visuals - Meh stages +- Only a few characters, but they provide fun value + Lots of different assists + Decent amount of content: two story modes, training mode, time trials - Online needs fix according to everyone + Best controller support for a PC fighter + Great Optimization, too Most mid-tier game I ever played. Fix online and wait for a small sale, otherwise, I like …

Game feels a bit stiff compared to other anime FG titles (primarily when compared to games made by ASW). Nonetheless, the pace of the game and neutrals are okay, and the assists make combos very free-form, allowing you to confirm every hit into an assist, and a level 3 assist is basically another level 1 super in its own right. Pros: - It's an anime FG, kusoge at its best. - Autocombos, good accessibility to new …

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →With facts and logic, Dan and I constructed what the roster of a 2D Uma Musume fighting game with 18 core characters and 20 assists (akin to Nitroplus Blasterz, Dengki Bunko, Million Arthur and MK1) would look like. Along with whatever style they would play like.

neutral · AI labelView post →Fun Fighting Game Fact: This animation in Million Arthur Arcana Blood was censored in the worldwide release 😮
neutral · AI labelView post →Million Arthur: Arcana Blood plays similar to that of previous Team Arcana games....most notable would be comparing to their last game "Nitro+ Blasterz". Each character has a 6C anti-air move, everyone has a universal evade, everyone has 2 super moves, & everyone has a cinematic super (a staple in Team Arcana games minus Arcana Heart & Daemon Bride). Matches are fast paced with everyone running and flying from side to side of the screen and calling assists, looking for ways to open up their…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't know why other reviewer says this game is stiff, personally this is one of the most slick 2D anime fighting games i've played, you can see my hours of blazblue, guilty gear, undernight, arcana hearts, skullgirls, chaos code for me to compare my experiences, The more interesting aspect of the mechanics is how this game set's apart from most 2D anime fighters and as you can see with a sort of call in character "assist" functions (Called Million Knights), and it's not really a "Tag Team…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Surprisingly this is actually fun, play like a solid MUGEN game It's censored*, not their fault, blame the SJW, you can uncens it yourself tho, check the Community hub It's a bad port, yes, their fault, blame them, but it's playable at least. So buy it on sale and vote it down, maybe with enough sales and negative reviews they'll fix the port. (just copy-paste this will do) (*) It's about an assist character, like Neco Arc from Melty Blood, mostly meme.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Million Arthur Arcana Blood is an Anime Fighting-Game by subgenre veterans, Examu. With a heavy emphasis on Assists, Auto-Combos and Metered Installs, MAAB is frenetic, and fast-paced, with lightning-fast aerial exchanges - it even features a very prominent cameo appearance by Iori Yagami!
neutral · AI labelView post →Million Arthur: Arcana Blood is easily one of the best fighting games made by Examu/TeamArcana, but the game's inability to remap directional keys prevents me from recommending it to other players. Hopefully it will be fixed someday, either officially or with mods...
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Iori Yagami from the "King of Fighters" series of fighting games
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →When people said the netcode was bad I thought, "it can't be that bad, people say the same about other games but everyone keeps playing, they must not be used to a bit of lag". What a mistake. THIS GAME HAS THE WORST NETCODE I'VE EVER SEEN. I haven't seen UNIST's netcode yet but I'm sure MAAB's must be similar or worse. Every match feels like I'm playing someone from another continent. On top of that, playing in windowed mode during netplay (only during netplay) adds even more delay. If I play…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Play as Iori Yagami.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really bad netcode and a lack of support from the developers really make me not want to recommend but its really interesting and good mechanics, I just wish the developers cared more for this game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'd recommend getting this game for 20$ or less as its content is bare bones, as for Netplay its ass
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It has Iori Yagami in it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Iori Yagami in Million Arthur Arcana Blood. God, he looks so gorgeous in this game. Oh, do you know that this fighting game is made from Square Enix? Yes, the same company that made Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts. Crazy, huh? #KOF #SNK #SquareEnix #IoriYagami
positive · AI labelView post →The game had a decent combat system and gorgeous art, but lacked modes and the AI was horrendously bad at the highest level of difficulty. I won't hold a low online player pool against any game as Discord and other forums are the way to go for keeping stuff online. Ultimately, I just can't play a game that may as well be online only.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have no idea what a Million Arthur is, I just bought it for Iori.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Million Arthur: Arcana Blood is a cool 2D fighting game. It's far from being one of the best but the game is still fun to play. The game deliver good animations, nice graphics with very detailed sprites and also really sweet music. The gameplay is quite simple and not very complicated or technical compared to games like BlazBlue or Guilty Gear. So for casual fighting players it's a nice game. Million Arthur: Arcana Blood was partially boycotted and received bad reviews at launch because it…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →lots of fun, and not as complex as some of examu's other games. but still endlessly deep with all the assist combinations. I'd play this over any of the bigger name fighters anyday.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I legit forgot Iori was in the Million Arthur Fighting Game
neutral · AI labelView post →Wish SquareEnix made more fighting games... or they did and I just ignore their existence. Anyway, cool game with lots of lore and Single Player content, the fact that it have guest character is very appreciated (love when games comes with crossovers).
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →"this game looks super cool and has some pretty neat mechanics! people say the netcode is really bad, but surely it isnt THAT bad" it truly is, THAT bad EDIT:yes, the netcode is very suffering. delay constantly shifts, the game crashes a lot or disconnects for no reason, and this is with me going out of my way to only play with people with decent ping. theres not much you can do but shrug and go "haha delay netcode" but, i promise you, this game is wonderful. its beautiful, its fun, creating…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →They made Tokido into a achievement.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is awessome. Really cool characters with nice combos and good variety of assists to make different types of gameplay even with it's small cast. HOWEVER, the netcode is trash. FG developers shouls know that PC players don't play local matches. A good netcode is the bare minimun. Also, far older games fair better in this regard, like Arcana Heart and Chaos Code (wtf).
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun niche fighter. Limited character selection. Don't buy until censoring is removed or price comes down to $30 USD or less.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not really worth the asking price. Story mode is pretty much all you will get to do. Will be the typical Discord fighter. Online is hit or miss anyway. And it is barely populated. Anything under 4 bars is unplayable with massive delay. Some of the worst netcode TBH. Which is sad because the actual online setup is pretty good. Lots of customization. All for nothing really. Side note. One of the worst experiences I have ever had playing a grappler.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My one concern about this game is its selection controls. What If I chose the wrong support knight and want to go back? The only option it's giving me is to go straight to the main menu and go through the whole process again or just choose whatever random support and reselect my 3 again without messing up. Now for training, it's kind of odd. You can't instantly fill up your assists so you have to wait and if you reset the whole position, your assist gauge is reset to 0. The enemies HP does not…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →it's really good
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →and #combotober day 3 as well, combo from throw, and I gotta go with Million Arthur because the game is sick with it
positive · AI labelView post →(I can only go by Steam reviews and discussions right now, but other Team Arcana games also have terrible netcode- Million Arthur: Arcana Blood in particular had maybe the worst netcode I've experienced in any modern fighting game, and that was with someone who lives nearby! What a shame!)
negative · AI labelView post →1. Bisclavret arrives in Britain and is magically transformed into a werewolf girl, because reasons?! 2. A mentally unstable unseen announcer booms "This is a kingdom's junction. Show me your select!" 3. Bisclavret kicks seven shades out of her opponent while taking every opportunity to show you her panties. Whoever wrote this games story was smoking something amazing. 467/10

neutral · AI labelView post →Fun but weird fighting game. The journey to this game is a weird one. I remember this series starting as a gatcha style collectible style card game on hand held devices, then I think it got an anime adaptation, and now a fighting game. The game is a pretty basic fighter, with not many characters and they have a limited move set, but that is where the cards come in. Each fighter can be assigned three cards, and then a meter fills as the fight progresses, and each of these cards give a…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Million Arthur: Arcana Blood is honestly a really fun fighting game with some cursed issues. There are only 13 playable characters, but 31 assists which you will need to pick 3 of for your knights in a match. Each character is very distinct from one another and the characters alone aren't insanely complicated, but the knights you pick along with the elemental shenanigans that exist lead to so many possible options it will make your head spin. It's a really solid game to get on sale if you…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I guess there's no nice way to say that a game is barren, is there? Both Team Arcana and Square Enix who commissioned them really fell off the bar on this one. I have to wonder if this was a tax write-off. It sure feels that way. Gameplay wise the game is pretty good, everything flows well, and customization is plentiful. But game modes? Color Edit? Challenge Modes? Bonus Episodes? There's a gallery but it's pretty lackluster, too. On a design note, I couldn't bring myself to sit through their…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wish this game had functional netcode so people would play the damn thing
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is definitely what i was looking for. You like anime? Get it. You like fighters? Get it. You wanna have fun with friends? Get it. The summon mechanics in this game are insane, you can pull off so many awesome combos with it, and the elemental counters makes a really hard and important input for matchups. I will definitely be training on this game everyday, it may go to Anime EVO we don't know. As usual, the current player base to play rankeds is not that high, however if you get…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Now that the network issues are fixed, I can actually review this game properly. Million Arthur Arcana Blood is a localization that really nobody could've expected to exist, it's a port of a recent port of a spin-off that was relegated to arcades only for at least a year or so. The franchise in question, Million Arthur is a mobile game franchise primarily concerning a fantasy Britain where over a million people have all pulled over a million Excaliburs, dubbing them all King Arthur in the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →On this day 7 years ago, the gameplay trailer for the PlayStation 4 port of Million Arthur Arcana Blood was released. In addition, it was announced that Iori Yagami was joining the game as a playable guest character. The console trailer can be watched below. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDG9...

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A criminally unknown fighting game. Granted, there are issues with the port: its pretty high price for a re-release of an old game, unnecessary censorship (and I'm not talking about the original PS4 version covering a character's butt but the censorship of a move here; what was removed for this new version can be modded back in, but shouldn't have been removed in the first place), a bad launch with lots of issues, and a port that's still a bit rough around the edges. BUT! With all that being…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Fatal Fury AI ad is a great reminder that SNK is now owned by the Prince of Saudi Arabia. Despicable human being AND a dumb bitch. So instead I want to recommend a few games I like as a very casual fighting enjoyer. DaemonBride, an arcade by the Arcana Heart 3/Million Arthur devs Team Arcana!!!
